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 De Luxe 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, and 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!

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
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.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
