Vehicle Description
1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 For Sale
This 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula features its original,
numbers-matching drivetrain, including the 400 cubic inch V8 with a
4-barrel carburetor paired to a TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission. Long tube headers and a dual exhaust system enhance
the performance sound without straying from its classic Pontiac
muscle character.
In 2019, the car underwent a thorough mechanical restoration, and
receipts are included. The engine was disassembled, cleaned,
painted, and fitted with new seals, gaskets, freeze plugs, and
fluids. The transmission and driveshaft were also removed,
resealed, and reinstalled. Key components like the fuel pump, water
pump, thermostat, and belts were replaced. A full ignition refresh
included new plugs, wires, and distributor components. Suspension
and braking systems were addressed with new shocks, bushings, and
pads, and the front disc brakes and rear drum setup were serviced
for reliable stopping power.
The engine bay was refinished, and various systems including the
carburetor, cooling, and fuel delivery were rebuilt or replaced.
This work makes the Formula mechanically sound while preserving its
originality, with the numbers-matching drivetrain still in
place.
With its timeless styling, reliable mechanical updates, and
authentic powertrain, this Firebird Formula offers a compelling
blend of originality and performance that's ready for the road or
show.See the "videos" tab above this description box for a cold
