1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula

Ground-Up Built Firebird Formula Restomod 6.0L LS2 V8 5-Spd Mini-Tubs /// By 1971, the Firebird Formula had earned a reputation for delivering Trans Am-level performance with a more understated look, but this restomodded example takes things much further. With less than 500 miles since completion, it features a fully refreshed body, including new sheet metal and mini-tubbed rear quarters, flush-fit glass, and original-style trim like the bumpers and nostril hood scoops. The car rides on staggered Forgeline wheels wrapped in sticky Pirelli P-Zeros and is powered by a reliable 6.0L LS2 V8 with long-tube headers and a custom stainless dual exhaust, paired with a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear with a limited-slip differential and 3.55 gears. The chassis is fully upgraded with Ridetech control arms, coilovers, a 4-link rear suspension, and powerful Wilwood disc brakes with 6-piston calipers up front. Inside, the cabin blends high-bolster bucket seats, a custom 3-spoke steering wheel, a carbon fiber-style digital gauge cluster, modern air conditioning controls, and a Custom Autosound system that keeps the vintage vibe while adding modern connectivity. This Firebird Formula perfectly balances classic style with modern performance, handling, and comfort.
