Hahaha, I wish this was my car! One day, one day! Though it won’t probably be the 455 Formula. The 455 Formula in 1971 is INCREDIBLY rare. There were only 11 produced, this is one of them. The engine is stock and matching numbers. If I had 60k, this is what I would be spending it on.
Storm, the other car is a newer Firebird as well. :p
And it has nothing to do with penis either, as, well, I’m female. XD I just like fast vintage cars.
Exacerbate, actually, the Pontiacs are a little better on gas then anything else. About 15mpg actually.
I had a 1970 Firebird, buccaneer red, very little difference to the ’71 except for the grill grid and it didn’t have the Formula hood. Gawd, I miss that car.
Jediadept, how do you give up something like that? XD The 70’s are nice, I’d pretty much take any Firebird up to 77, though the years I really want are 70 – 73. I nearly had a 74 Formula last year but it sold a few hours previous of my call! It was $7000 with only 80k miles!
It was 1982, I was 20 and stupid, I was going 100mph and did an unintentional Dukes of Hazard (the road was out and unmarked)and the under carriage was never quite right after that; so I sold her and regretted it ever sense, the kid totaled her within a month.
At the same time I also had a 1972 Challeger and the kid who bought that killed himself in it a few days after he bought it. Two beautiful cars gone because drunk driving.
Original engine?
all I have to say to that is…DAMN. Now thats a car…screw all the electronics and useless sensors in modern cars.
9 MPG awesomeness.
“Fancy lad” is my new nickname for someone here. I have jotted it down in a notepad file.
I’m not a car buff, at all. But that is sexy. Always had a soft spot for those.
wow. two Firebirds in one garage…
sorry about your penis, dude.
I used to have a ’70 Chevelle SS, 396. I loved that car. 8 mpg, I joked that it passed everything but the gas station. Your Firebird is a beauty.
wait- is there a Corvette in the other stall??!! ROFLMFAO…..

For me the all the 70’s muscle cars look pretty ugly.
This one isn’t too bad but I’d much rather have a charger.

@awfulintentions
oops- sorry, my mistake. it is completely appropriate for a woman to drive a Firebird…
