Rocking high-impact red paint and a dual-scooped hood that was
arguably one of the most distinctive exterior features of its era,
this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 Restomod pretty much pegs
the meter on classic curb appeal. Step up closer, and you can't
help but notice the badging that proclaims its special edition,
Formula 400 status, a status that is properly documented via its
VIN plate. So, this sharp-looking ride offers bona fide
collectability to combine with its head-turning great looks.
Cruising on a set of 17" wheels that accentuate its tastefully
aggressive appearance, this rarely seen muscle car sports
consistent body panel gaps on all sides, and a brief cut and buff
session will elevate its exterior to top form.
A nicely refreshed interior awaits beyond the doors, with vibrant
red vinyl upholstery that shows only the slightest of wear, even on
the most heavily trafficked touch points. The factory center
console has been fully restored and positions a Hurst shifter
within easy reach to put this coveted muscle car through its paces.
Further forward, the dash area is looking strong, with clear,
easily readable gauges in its instrument cluster, and a dash pad
above that is free from any blemishes. Even the woodgrain finished
bezel, often prone to UV damage, is in top form. A retro-style
AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port and Bluetooth connectivity is
on hand to provide plenty of audio options, and the added Vintage
Air climate control system works flawlessly to keep the cabin
comfortable throughout the year.
This Pontiac classic is an absolute blast to drive. As you raise
its distinctive hood, which features a fully functional Ram Air
intake, you'll find a 400-cubic-inch V8 standing by in a very clean
and presentable engine bay. Outfitted with a Holley Sniper
electronic fuel injection system for markedly improved
adjustability and all-weather dependability, it's running in peak
form, pairing with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission geared to
take full advantage of its output. An MSD ignition system has also
been added to maximize available spark. With Wilwood power disc
brakes at all four corners that include slotted and drilled rotors
for excellent heat dissipation, this Firebird stops as well as it
accelerates, which is no mean feat. A glance below will reveal a
structurally solid underside, which is always a welcome sight in a
car from this era.
