THIS IS A ONE OF 160 OR SO 1971 PONTIAC FIREBIRD FORMULA 455 HO WITH RAM AIR. PHS DOCUMENTED (SEE PHOTOS) ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON THE RESTORATION FROM 2011. 2 YEAR SUBFRAME OFF RESTORATION OF A 56,000 ORIGINAL MILE CAR. THE CAR WAS RUSTFREE TO START WITH. BASE COAT / CLEAR COAT ORIGINAL CANYON COPPER COLOR. REDONE PUI, DELUXE BLACK INTERIOR. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT AND IS A CORRECT 1971 455 HO BLOCK, HEADS, INTAKE, DISTRIBUTOR, WATERPUMP, PULLEYS, ALTERNATOR AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. THE TRANS IS A REBUILT MUNCIE CLOSE RATIO 4 SPEED, NOT ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. THE REAR IS A 3:73 12 BOLT. THE CARBURATOR IS AN 800 CFM ROCHESTER. EVERYTHING WAS GONE THROUGH ON THE CAR DURING RESTORATION....BRAKES, COOLING SYSTEM, LINES, ELECTRICAL, GAUGES, NEW GARDNER EXHAUST WITH CHROME TIPS, ETC. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR WAS LEFT PRETTY MUCH ORIGINAL, JUST CLEANED UP WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL ON THE SUSPENSION, SWAY BARS, GAS TANK, ETC. THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT WAS PAINTED AND DETAILED WITH CORRECT COLORS. THE SPORT STRIPES WERE ADDED, REAR 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, KEPT POLISHED AND UNDER A COVER. IT STARTS, DRIVES, BRAKES, SHIFTS 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, THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL TINTED AND HAS A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR GLASS. THE VAPOR CANISTER HAS NOT BEEN HOOKED UP TO 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 THE SCOOP (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, NOS 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. PLEASE E-MAIL WITH QUESTIONS, I WILL TRY TO RESPOND TO THE INTELLIGENT ONES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE A SERIOUS BUYER WITH THE FUNDS. SHIPPING IS UP TO THE BUYER, I WILL MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE AND ASSIST WITH LOADING WITH THE SHIPPER. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK.
