1973 Pontiac Firebird

Maybe a 1 of 1. 1973 Ascot Silver Formula 455 Ram air hood and having a rare optioned back seat center console. The car body is super straight and driver's straight as an arrow. The car has paperwork to show its original features. This appears to be a special ordered 1973 Formula 455 ordered on 10/27/72 by Vincent C Ilardi at McDonald Pontiac in Morristown. New Jersey. I will include a picture of the dealer's invoice including all options ordered 25 in all from what I count. I have never seen a muscle car/firebird that has a rear center console. I will also include a picture of PHS showing all ordered options for this Formula 455.

Clear Florida title in hand. LAST OF THE TRUE AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS.

All body and vin tags are in place. Dash vin and door vin tag are in place as well as body/trim tag is in place. Original sticker by radiator showing it was a 455 from the factory.

This car runs fantastic down the road at any speed.  Dual exhaust is newer and sounds awesome. The engine was upgraded/rebuilt in 2009 with over $10. 00 in receipts on the rebuild. Also $750 recondition/rebuild on transmission in 2015.  Nice Performance upgrades. This bird is quick. Over $2000 in aluminum heads and upgraded intake and new carburetor. The extra parts I have. nbsp;I was told is the original heads. exhaust manifolds. oil pan and intake. that were removed on the rebuild.   Original Intake manifold casting # is 492744 dated L092. nbsp;Heads are 4X dated L082.  Previous owner stated it was still the original 455 HO engine in the car and these were the original parts for it. I'm no Pontiac motor head but I did find in the front of the block a YC code but was unable to find the vin casting numbers due to it being by the timing mark and I cant see it. I did see on the back of the block a 73 on the block.  I'm willing to look for more numbers if the experts want to give me locations to look. But the previous 2nd owner has had the Formula here in Florida for close to 20 years and said no doubt it is a numbers matching car. I just found what I could so far.

The underside of this 455 is in super condition. The 2nd owner said it had always been garage kept and it looks like it by the body and undercarriage. There is like 3 bubbles behind drivers and passengers door. Super easy fixes and not rotted. The front nose has a some lines from someone leaning on it and it could use a repaint or you just leave this car alone and drive it as it looks damn good.   

The car has all 5 original Honeycomb rims. The car also has over $1500 in 15x8 American racing rims and nice tires on it. The spare is even new.

The interior is pretty much original and in good driver condition. A crack in center of the dash. I BELIEVE IT IS possibly A 1 OF 1 1973. 455 FORMULA WITH THE REAR BACKSEAT CENTER CONSOLE. I have not found another one like it online anywhere with rear center console/arm rest. From what I have read. less than 5% of all Pontiac vehicles had this option ordered and Pontiac ended this option. So for it to be in a 455 sports car has to be unheard of from what I see.

The Formula is available for viewing in Punta Gorda. Fl.

The car is being sold as/is with no warranty implied or expressed. Seller will not be held liable as I have done my absolute best to describe the vehicle as I know. I will do all I can do to email more pictures of answer any questions I can.

Local pick up only and I will help all I can with the shipper of your choice. This is one sweet/bad 455 Formula Firebird.
