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. Exhaust is new and is from Gardner Exhaust, dual pipes with single crossflow muffler, correct chrome exhaust tips. Torq Thrust wheels are 15x7 and tires are 235/60/15. 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.

The production numbers I have are that 1,082 400 4spd Formulas were built, I remember that someone on the Performance Years Forum site estimated that of the 1,082 only 199 had the optional M22 4spd.

Additional parts included are a 1972 Shop Manual, original spare tire jack, new rear KYB Shocks, new rear brake pads, the original steering wheel, original front sway bar & the 7/8 rear bar, the original radiator, the original lower side moldings.

Car is sold as is with no warranty of any kind, I have a transferable registration in my name, titles were not used in NY until about 1973 so car is transferable by the registration. Car is located in Poughkeepsie, New York, about an hour north of New York City. Thanks.
