74 Formula Firebird (757)
Name: Ed
Location: Norfolk
Contact: PM, post.
Miles: A little over 100k
Price: $2200 Firm
Trades: Possible...
Reason for selling: Don't have time to mess with it.
455CI Pontiac Engine
Turbo 400 trans
Extra 455 and turbo 400 trans
Extra fender skins, front valance.
Car has a fiberglass cowl hood on it but also has the original fiberglass ram air hood as well. (I have seen the original hoods sell for 4-5 hundred dollars because they are hard to find.)
Tons of extra parts. Intake manifold, torque converter, new Car One chrome headlight bezels, custom radiator shroud, original hood springs, valve covers, tons of other parts as well.

Re: 74 Formula Firebird (757)
Motor starts up fine if it hasn't been sitting. The trans was fine when I got it. I haven't driven the car since I picked it up. The last time I tried to move the car under its own power it didn't want to go. It could be a fluid leak but I can't promise that because I didn't see fluid. I haven't had time to flush the tranny fluid to check.
The motor in the picture is the spare motor, the tranny in the picture is the spare as well.
I will also say the buyer better not expect to drive the car the day they come for it. It needs some work, it is a project, not a daily. I would suggest new underhood fuel lines, not the hard steel line underneath the car. I would also suggest plugs, wires, fluids, air cleaner, etc.
The car may also need some odds and ends to pass inspecton. I bought this car to drag so I never checked everything. I have just been way too busy to mess with it.
