1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400, this is a solid mostly original car showing a correct 81717 miles, I have the PHS, Build Sheet & Protectoplate. I am the 5th owner having it since 2007, the previous owner had it since 1984. Car came from Utah when I purchased it in 2007, originally sold new in Oregon state. Solid western car.
Car has all its original body panels except for the front valance panel. Original quarter panels, wheel houses, tail panel, floors, frame rails, fenders, doors, etc. Paint condition is poor, paint is about 30 years old, previous owner says it was painted before he bought it, so sometime in the early 1980s, they painted over the original Silver paint, front right fender has a small rust hole, doors have dings. Trunk floor has some surface rust on it but is solid.
The 400 engine is the original WK code with VIN number stamped in the block K151, Engine has a recent rebuilt and runs excellent, also has its original 7K3 heads K091 & K261, intake 485912 K171, carburetor 7042263 WF 3091, alternator 37amp 1100927, air cleaner. Distributor is not the original but a correct number 1112121 dated 1J27. Transmission is the original M22 Close Ratio Muncie Rock Crusher with VIN Number stamped in case. Rear axle is the original 10bolt open, posi was not originally ordered on this car. The original Hurst Shifter has been rebuilt and has all the correct linkage including the reverse lockout, the clutch rod is an NOS piece. Transmission also has a new clutch & pressure plate, etc. New 4 core radiator but the original single core radiator is included.
Interior has been reupholstered in the correct Black Deluxe, new carpet & headliner. Door panels, kick panels, rear side panels and seatbelts are the originals, dash pad is also the original one, I installed the factory am/fm radio and 8-track, both do not work, car originally came with a console but was in poor shape so I put 8-track on the factory pedestal. I like the no console look. The dash has a new wiring harness from M&H Wiring. All the gauges work except for the clock. The Formula steering wheel is the thick Padded reproduction.
The front subframe has been restored with a complete bushing kit, springs are the originals, front sway bar was replaced with a 1 1/4 inch bar from a 71 Trans Am. All new front brakes with new lines & hoses etc. Also included is the 7/8 rear sway bar from the same Trans Am.

Original 14x7 Rally II wheels were not on car when I bought it. Someone added the rear spoiler years ago, not me, but I did get the correct early 70-72 end caps for it.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
