Vehicle Description
This 1975 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 is an exceptional unrestored
survivor, preserved with care and pride since the day it left the
showroom. With only 44,812 original miles-as documented by the
title-and one-family ownership since new, this Firebird stands as a
rare, authentic example of 1970s American performance and style.
It's a true time capsule that offers a glimpse into the golden era
of Pontiac engineering, untouched by heavy modifications and still
retaining its original soul.
Under the hood lies the original numbers-matching 400 cubic inch
V8, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, delivering
smooth and confident power with that unmistakable Pontiac rumble.
The car rides on Radial Tuned Suspension, a signature feature
introduced by Pontiac to improve handling and road feel, and it's
equipped with power steering and power front disc brakes, ensuring
easy drivability and strong, dependable stopping power.
The exterior has received just one repaint in its original Code 64
Persimmon, a rich burnt orange hue that beautifully highlights the
car's sculpted lines and aggressive stance. The paint was applied
years ago but still presents extremely well, offering a tasteful
refresh while preserving the car's original sheet metal, which
remains intact and unaltered. The factory 1/4 vinyl top remains in
place and adds to the car's period-correct appearance. Sitting on a
set of 15-inch Rally II wheels, the car exudes the understated
muscle car presence that defined the Formula 400.
Inside, the cabin features original black vinyl upholstery, which
shows incredibly well and reflects the car's low mileage and
careful ownership. The dash is home to the original AM radio and
factory 8-track player, and uniquely, the original dash plaque
reading "Specialty Built for Rod Koetter" remains in place-a nod to
the original owner and a rare, personal factory touch that adds to
the car's provenance. Even the original dealer paperwork
accompanies the vehicle, offering a further glimpse into its
history and delivery.
This Firebird Formula 400 has never been fully restored because it
never needed to be. Its original sheet metal, low miles, and
stunning preservation speak volumes about how it has been cared
for. With factory air conditioning, reliable mechanicals, and
classic styling that remains as striking today as it was in 1975,
this is a car that's ready to be enjoyed, shown, and
appreciated.
For collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone looking to own a piece of
Pontiac history, this 1975 Firebird Formula 400 represents a rare
opportunity to acquire a low-mile, one-family-owned, unrestored
survivor that's full of originality and character. It's a must-see
classic that stands out not for what's been changed, but for
everything that's been preserved.
