This 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula is a genuine Formula 455 car with the L75 engine option, confirmed by the VIN, and it remains a strong example of one of the more desirable performance Pontiacs of the era. Built at GM's Norwood, Ohio plant, this Formula is powered by a 455 V8 backed by its original TH400 automatic transmission and is titled as true mileage with just 60,000 original miles. While the engine block itself is a warranty replacement 455 and therefore not serialized to the car, the car retains its original transmission and remains what it was born as: a real 1973 Formula 455.
The Formula package gave these second-generation Firebirds their own identity, most notably with the twin-scoop Formula hood and a more understated look than a Trans Am while still delivering the big torque that made Pontiac's larger-displacement cars so appealing. This example is equipped with front disc brakes, rear drums, and 3.42 gearing, a combination that suits the car well for both cruising and the kind of strong, effortless acceleration expected from a 455-powered F-body. It also features a true dual exhaust system routed through Super Turbo mufflers, giving the car a proper muscle-era sound without straying from its overall period feel.
For buyers looking for a real-deal Formula 455 with an honest mechanical story, true-mileage title, and the kind of drivetrain combination that makes these cars so enjoyable, this Pontiac checks important boxes.
