Description for Pontiac Firebird 1977
Rest assured that in 1977, here were still guys who wanted big performance without the extroverted look of the Trans Am. That's why this 1977 Firebird Formula 400 was built. This super original car packs it's numbers-matching 400, 4-speed, nd untouched factory paint and interior to make one heck of a rare survivor.Estimates put production of 4-speed Formula 400s under 1000 cars, aking this white coupe a very rare find. In fact, hat's factory-applied paint and it's in remarkable condition, lthough with what we believe to be just over 17,000 original miles on the clock, t really shouldn't be a surprise. The Formula skipped the Trans Am's spoilers and flares, iving the car a very clean, o-nonsense look that works especially well with the all-new nose and hood. The blacked-out lower panel with Formula spelled out in big block letters makes it look longer and lower than it already is and the faux scoops on the hood give it an aggressive look. The paint is quite good, he panels fit exactly where the guys on the assembly line put them, nd even the urethane bumper covers are in above-average condition. And yes, t's still a 1977 Pontiac, o they couldn't resist a few stripes and decals, ncluding a 'bird on the rear spoiler, ut if you want a little less flash and a little more exclusivity, his Formula is the way to fly.The brilliant red interior is the high-impact look that made the '70s great, nd it looks fantastic even today. The upholstery, arpets, oor panels, nd dash pad are all original, nd even in the photos you can see how beautifully preserved everything is. Sure, here might be a few creases on the driver's seat, ut there's absolutely nothing inside this car that needs replacement, lthough the headliner is recent. The big news is the presence of a 4-speed manual shifter, ut other high-performance goodies include the full set of analog gauges with a tach, tilt steering column, console, nd body-hugging bucket seats. The original AM/FM radio is still in the dash and the trunk is outfitted with its original mat plus a space-saver spare that's never been used. Survivors just don't get much more authentic than this!The Trans Am had the reputation, ut there's an argument to be made that the Formula was faster. This is the original, umbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8, he same 220 horsepower unit that was used in the TA, inked to the same Super T10 4-speed manual and 10-bolt rear end. It's highly detailed under the hood, ith corre3ct reproduction hoses, roper tower hose clamps, right corporate turquoise engine enamel, nd no modifications. The low mileage shows everywhere you look and the engine runs superbly, ith a crisp burble from the exhaust system, hich still carries a factory catalytic converter. The undercarriage is neatly presented with a uniform dusting of satin black, ut there's nothing to hide here and it drives almost like a new car. 3.23 gears mean it's comfortable on the highway and it rides on correct Rally II wheels and 225/70/15 Goodyear radials that are just the right size.This impressive survivor, ere it wearing Trans Am regalia, ould cost ten thousand dollars more. Instead, hy not enjoy the rarity, he preservation, nd the performance offered by this incredible Formula 400 survivor. Call today!
