Pontiac enthusiasts pay attention. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this fully documented, highly optioned, highly original, low mile, American icon; This 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 4-speed to the world market.

Today at just over 61000 miles, this 1973 Formula remains a high-quality example that retains much originality. The car has had one repaint in its original factory color with the rest of the vehicle remaining very original. The miles are said to be and believed to be original. The motor appears to be original and numbers matching, the stamp on the front side of the block matches the VIN and all other castings, date codes and id stamps are correct. Mechanically, this Formula Firebird drives excellent, pulls strong, tracks well, suspension and steering are tight, rides great and stops straight.

Cosmetically, the exterior the repaint is older, but shows very well, the beak shows expected sight checking. The interior is clean, appears to be original, and super clean. The headliner has been replaced. Under the hood is all original and tidy and the frame and underside remain unrestored as well and shows clean, solid and dry.

A total of just over 10000 Firebird Formula's were built and less than half of them came with a 4 speed transmission. Production was relatively low, the survival rate was low as well. These cars are rarely seen and hugely respected. A great opportunity awaits on a largely unmolested example. Documentation includes: The original window sticker, the original California pink slip, the original books, original key knock outs, complete PHS documentation, recent service history etc.
