Featured here is a gorgeous 1980 Pontiac Firebird Formula which is rare with only 8,111 Formulas produced in 1980. This Pontiac is in very nice original condition and went through a cosmetic restoration in 2003. Since then the Firebird has been kept well-maintained and remains a real show-stopper.

The body was originally treated to a Ziebart rust-proofing treatment when new which has kept the body protected from any rust damage. This car was repainted with the original Montreux Maroon with Charcoal accents and the finish was professionally applied over well-executed bodywork. The paint was polished and buffed to a high luster and has been well cared for and still shines brilliantly with very few chips in the paint. Correct Formula accent decorations were applied after the refinishing. The W66 Formula sport package includes dual hood scoops, blacked-out glass moldings, reveals and related stainless trim, dual sport mirrors with driver's remote and manual passenger side, and a rear deck spoiler.

Inside the cab is in very good original, unrestored condition. The Carmine color carpet is original and shows some very light wear but is still rich and vibrant in color and protected by the factory original GM vinyl floor mats. The Carmine checkered cloth velour seat upholstery is original showing only some light wear on the front driver's seat bolster welting. The dash and console vinyl are in equally well-preserved condition and remain soft and flexible and free of any cracks. Options include the Formula three-spoke steering wheel, and the engine-turned aluminum dash trim holds the factory rally gauge package with the clock. Other options include A/C, cruise control, and Delco AM/FM stereo radio with front and rear dual speaker system.

Under the hood is the L37 301cid V8 that was rebuilt in 2010 and features a performance camshaft upgrade and Edelbrock electric choke carburetor. The engine compartment has been well kept and looks darn close to showroom condition with factory decals still present as well as the factory smog controls. Power is transferred through a 350 GM Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission that was serviced at the same time as the motor. The power is transferred to the road via GU1 2.41:1 rear axle and meets the road riding on a set of original Pontiac honeycomb aluminum wheels wrapped in 225/70R15 BF Goodrich raised white letter radial tires.

Underneath as part of the Formula Sport Package is the specially tuned suspension which features power steering and power brakes with front discs and rear drums. The suspension presents as well maintained with new stabilizers bushings, and shocks. Unrestored, the subframe and floors are still well coated from the original Ziebart treatment with no rust shown. The exhaust dumps into a single catalytic converter that flows to a rear-mounted transverse muffler that has dual outlets that exit into chrome dual tailpipe tips.

This car is a real head-turner with its sporty looks that still look classy 40-plus years later. This car is well documented with all the dealership delivery paperwork and based on its originality is set to hold its value well as an iconic and rare car of the early 80's era.
