Description for Pontiac Firebird 1971

THIS IS A ONE OF 160 OR SO 1971 PONTIAC FIREBIRD FORMULA 455 HO WITH RAM AIR.PHS DOCUMENTED (SEE PHOTOS)ONLY A FEW HUNDREDMILES ON THE RESTORATION FROM 2011.

2 YEAR SUBFRAME OFF RESTORATION OF A 56,000 ORIGINAL MILE CAR. THE CARWAS RUSTFREE TO START WITH. BASE COAT / CLEAR COAT ORIGINALCANYON COPPER COLOR. REDONE PUI, ELUXE BLACK INTERIOR.

THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT AND IS A CORRECT 1971 455 HO BLOCK, EADS, NTAKE, ISTRIBUTOR, ATERPUMP, ULLEYS, LTERNATOR AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. THE TRANS IS A REBUILT MUNCIE CLOSE RATIO 4 SPEED, OT ORIGINAL TO THE CAR.THE REARIS A 3:73 12 BOLT. THE CARBURATOR IS AN 800 CFM ROCHESTER.

EVERYTHING WAS GONE THROUGH ON THE CAR DURING RESTORATION....BRAKES, OOLING SYSTEM, INES, LECTRICAL, AUGES, EW GARDNER EXHAUST WITH CHROME TIPS, TC. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR WAS LEFT PRETTY MUCH ORIGINAL, UST CLEANED UP WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL ON THE SUSPENSION, WAY BARS, AS TANK, TC. THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT WAS PAINTED AND DETAILED WITH CORRECT COLORS.

THE SPORT STRIPES WERE ADDED, EAR CONSOLE ADDED (YES IT'S REAL) LOTS OF NOS PARTS WENT INTO THE CAR. THOSE PARTS ARE PROBABLY NOT AVAILABLE TODAY AS NOS.

THE PAINT SHINES LIKE NEW. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED, EPT POLISHED AND UNDER A COVER. IT STARTS, RIVES, RAKES, HIFTS AND RUNS LIKE IT SHOULD WITH NO KNOWN ISSUES OR LEAKS.

A COUPLE OF THINGS COME TO MIND TO MAKE POTENTIAL BUYERS AWARE OF ARE, HE GLASS IS ORIGINAL TINTED AND HAS A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR GLASS. THE VAPOR CANISTER HAS NOT BEEN HOOKED UPTO THE RETURN LINE FROM THE GAS TANK OR TO THE CARB. THERE IS A 3/4" CRACK AT THE FRONT OF THE HOOD RIGHT NEXT TO THESCOOP (SEE PICTURE) IT IS THE FACTORY FIBERGLASS RAM AIR HOOD.

THE CAR DRAWS ATTENTION ANY TIME IT IS TAKEN ON THE STREETS. THE COLOR IS STUNNING IN THE SUNLIGHT. IT HAS TREMENDOUS TORQUE AND WILL EASILY LIGHT UP THE TIRES. IT HAS RESTORED 15" X 7" RALLY 2'S, OS TRIM RINGS AND CAPS WITH THE CORRECT FIRESTONE REPRODUCTION F-60-15 TIRES. VIRTUALLY NO MILES ON THE TIRES. I PUT THEM ON LAST YEAR AND REALLY HAVE NOT DRIVER THE CAR SINCE THEN.
