This 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula 455 is the kind of muscle car that rumbles through the streets with an authority that demands attention. In Florentine Red, a full repaint, showcasing a smooth, dark red BCCC with a metallic finish. The addition of Trans Am wheel flares and 17" U.S. Mags wheels, wrapped in aggressive Nitto 255/50ZR17 rubber, announces its presence with raw street power. The hood in its expansive Florentine Red expanse accented by two prominent hood scoops, channeling a rush of air directly into the engine's heart to feed the hungry 455 V8 beneath.
The black custom option interior, with its bucket seats, clings to its originality like a carefully guarded secret. Command is at your fingertips with a Formula steering wheel and a Hurst shifter, poised in its correct, bent-arm stance, ready to dance through the gears. Dakota Digital gauges take the place of the original instruments, offering a clear view of the car's vital signs. An aftermarket stereo head unit fills the cabin with your chosen soundtrack. And power steering ensures that handling this beast feels as effortless as it is exhilarating. A tangible link to the vehicle's storied past, a copy of the build sheet, serves as a testament to its authenticity and heritage.
Beneath that distinct hood lies the "ZC" code 455 V8 engine, still the original powerhouse, matched to the car's soul. This motor, with its California correctness for a '73 F body, breathes life in through a Sniper EFI system and out through the dual exhaust, underscored by the assertive bite of power disc brakes at the front. Its energy is meticulously managed by a Borg Warner Super T10, period-correct, ensuring that raw power is seamlessly transferred to the rear wheels with precision. The car's handling dynamics are further refined by an upgraded rear sway bar. Within the engine bay, the optional Ram Air cleaner and the gleaming Pontiac chrome valve covers, complement the vehicle's formidable essence.
