Pontiac Firebird 1970 Description
1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400
Presenting a beautiful matching numbers car with the original 400 YS, matching VIN stamped block and “13” cast heads. TH400 trans, 12 bolt rear axle, AC, power steering, power brakes, disc brakes, Rallye wheels, Rallye instruments and custom vinyl interior.
The car was originally silver, and during the restoration we chose Lucerne Blue which was a Firebird only color. This car was first sold by Lee Adams Pontiac in Oakland and has been in sunny CA all the time so there is no rust.
The body is beautiful, straight and with a quality clearcoated buffed paint job. All pieces were painted separately, and of course all windows, rubber moldings etc were taken off before paint.
Interior is restored with an eye towards keeping as much of the original as possible.
It sports a new era correct wooden steering wheel. The stereo is not hooked up, we will let the new owner put his own twist on the sound system, but there are two 6x9 speakers hidden under the package tray to connect.
The engine was rebuilt and has some tuning add-ons for an incredible performance,
this machine roars like a lion, yet it purrs smoothly at idle, even ice cold. It has a better camshaft, Edelbrock intake and carburator, HEI distributor, Hooker headers and Flowmaster exhaust. AC system has been totally rebuilt with new components and blows ice cold! The engine bay has been beautifully detailed.
Brakes, front and rear suspension, shocks, front and rear springs, fuel tank, subframe bushings, sway bar etc are all new. All chrome is new, like the windshield and all weatherstripping.
Trunk area is of course restored with a new trunk mat, jack and spare wheel matching the other Rallye wheels, with a new tire still wearing its print.
We have Pontiac Historical Society papers on the car including a reprinted Window Sticker.
Here is a car that you can enjoy driving, weekend racing, showing and collecting while it appreciates in value! Asking a modest $37000 or reasonable offer.
We have many professional photos on request. Please contact me at 714 267- 3006 or pierrel@earthlink.net to set up a showing. Thanks!
