No word at all on the state of the automatic transmission or the rear end. So how well it runs, how many miles it’s run, or whether or not it’s ever had a rebuild is anybody’s guess.
The only thing said about the engine is that it currently runs, but is not roadworthy at this time. The frame and chassis are said to be solid, as are the drip rails on the trunk and roof.
Also in need of attention are the trunk pan, lower quarter panels, and both the front and back valance. The carpet is MIA, but that’s probably good as we can see parts of the floor pans, which the seller mentions are going to need replacement. Ranging between 4.1- and 7.5-liter and producing between 112 and 340 horsepower, the 1970 Pontiac Firebird was built until 1978 when the US company unveiled an upgraded model. The current owner thinks the Formula has excellent potential, but he also realizes and states up front that the vehicle is in need of a complete restoration.Ībout all that is mentioned regarding the interior is that it’s black, and while it appears like a lot of it is still intact there’s a lot of work that’s going to need to be done inside there. It left the Norwood plant in April 1970, wearing Atoll Blue paint, but judging from the patina it looks like the finish has been black for quite some time. for the great tip on this one! The seller says that this car has been in the state of Georgia its entire life, and prior to his acquisition it had only had two previous owners, with the last one in possession of the Formula since ’73. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Barn Finds reader Pat L. Bid for the chance to own a 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Ram Air III 4-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. It’s located in Georgia and can be spotted here on Craigslist with an asking price of $15,000. If you’ve been in the market for an early second-generation F-Body project, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 W66 might be a good candidate. Pontiac just missed the 50,000 mark in total Firebird production for ’70, with 7,708 of them rolling off the line as Formula models, numbers that would have likely been somewhat higher if it hadn’t been for a UAW strike that year.
