1973 Firebird Formula on 2040-cars
Covington, Georgia, United States
|
1973 Firebird Formula for sale by private owner. This is a very nice restoration of an original rust free car from Texas. The original color was code 74 (Florentine Red), and it has been repainted the factory color with base coat/clear coat. The pictures will speak for the paint job; it is professionally done. There are no issues with rust or bubbling of paint. The trim code is 247; deluxe oxblood vinyl. The color combination is very striking; gets lots of attention at any cruise- in or car show. The Formula drives just as good as it looks; factory air and a nice stereo compliment the ride.
This is a Formula 350 and it still has the original engine in the car. The current mileage is 64,991; but due to reviewing previous service records, I believe the Firebird has rolled over to 164,991. The engine was pulled and had a complete rebuild in May of 2006; it performs very well with no issues. This was done around the 150,000 mile mark. Please note the orignallity of the air cleaner and fresh air intake for the car. New brakes, mufflers, heater core, shocks, etc. were also done is this time period. American Racing Torque Thrusts are currently on the car; 16's on the front and 17's on the rear. A real nice combination against the paint color. Everthing works on the car; we drive it locally and to the visit our children.
Although the interior was in pretty good shape, I chose to improve on it by lining the floors with Dynamat, replace the carpet; replace a reproduction console with a real one, and install Legenday seat covers. I have several pictures that show the work. It is a manual window car; the seat belts are all there and functional, and the radio is a modern unit that was professionally installed in the stock location. The drivers side window had a nasty scratch; I replaced it with a new one.
This is the real deal, Formula Firebird; 1973 is one of the most desirable and the most valuable years. Please feel free to call me with any questions or set up a time to inspect and drive the car. But, please do this before the bid ends, you will be bidding to buy. Randy 770/634-3093 I would like to answer a couple of common questions that were asked. The bottom of the car has no rust; in fact, the undercoating is still present and in good shape (picture added). I have also added pictures of the trunk; one with the original mat and one showing the clean and rust free floor. The way to check for the original block in this car is to look for the VIN stamped into the lower front of the block. The number is on the block; it is very clear and matches the VIN of the car. |

Pontiac Aztek rises from the ashes of infamy in Firebird Trans Am guise
Thu, Apr 9 2020What if the Pontiac Aztek, one of the most widely ridiculed vehicles ever built, was reimagined with a little flair from one of the former brand’s more legendary cars? Well, it turns out that someone not only came up with that idea, but followed up on it. And so, we present to you the Pontiac Aztek Firebird Trans Am, uh, trim package? ItÂ’s not real, of course, but it comes from Abimelec Arellano, an Hermosillo, Mexico-based car designer with too much time on his hands who goes by the name Abimelec Design. Arellano redesigned the midsize SUVÂ’s wimpy front fascia to surprising success by simply adding widened fender flares and perhaps modernizing the headlights. He also went all-in embracing the AztekÂ’s abrupt, flattened rear end by removing the rear bumper lip, adding a slightly more aggressive rear spoiler to boot. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Elsewhere, the dominating and cheap-looking gray plastic under-cladding is gone in favor of body-color panels. Arellano also added some probably larger Pontiac Snowflake wheels with gold accents that really make them pop and play well against the signature Firebird decal dominating the hood. Commenters generally fall into one of two buckets. As one put it, “I never thought the Aztek could look this good.” Others implored Arellano to do a version with a T-top. Or as one Autoblog editor put it, “So it turns out the reason the Aztek was a laughingstock failure is that it didnÂ’t come in a Smokey and the Bandit Edition. Somewhere, a dude who got shouted down in a product-planning meeting years ago is vindicated.” Sold between 2001 and 2005, the Aztek arguably reached the pinnacle of its notoriety as the metaphor for the drab, underachieving life of Walter White in AMCÂ’s meth drama, “Breaking Bad.” It came equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 that made 185 horsepower and sent it through a four-speed automatic to the front wheels, with an all-wheel drive version also available. The Aztek may have the last laugh, especially if it gets a screaming chicken. “The fact it was a controversial design and didnÂ’t sell well will make it an object of curiosity from a historical standpoint many years from now,” McKeel Hagerty, president and CEO of classic-car insurer Hagerty Insurance, told Autoblog back in 2016.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
