The exterior trim shows no evidence of problems, and the original Rally II wheels are equally impressive.īy 1974, engine power was being sapped by tightening emission laws. The original owner ordered this classic with Soft Ray tinted glass, and this appears to be in excellent condition. It isn’t clear whether the Firebird has received any restoration work, but if it hasn’t, that makes the paint condition particularly noteworthy. The paint holds an impressive shine, with no glaring flaws or marks. However, he does use the word “excellent” when describing the body, which I find reassuring. There are no issues visible in any of the usually prone spots, while the owner doesn’t mention any problems in his listing. That makes it no surprise to learn that the car appears to be rust-free. That means that this Regatta Blue classic has split its time between the favorable climates of Texas and Florida. The car’s history is slightly vague, but I believe that the seller probably purchased the vehicle sometime in the 1980s. The original owner purchased this Firebird from a dealership located in Lufkin, Texas. I have to say a huge thank you to Barn Finder Pat L for once again spotting an excellent survivor for us. The Firebird is located in Tallahassee, Florida, and the owner has set the sale price at $29,500, although he may consider reasonable offers. Therefore, he has listed it for sale here on Craigslist. The seller is only this classic’s second owner, and after years of enjoyment, he’s decided that it is time for this gem to have a third owner. This 1974 Firebird Formula 400 is a solid and healthy survivor that features a desirable drivetrain combination. I have never been lucky enough to own one, but that doesn’t mean you need to miss out. I may have been a Ford man, but I longed to own a Firebird with every fiber of my body. I always waited for the briefest glimpse of the Pontiac Firebird driven by the late James Garner’s character. This wasn’t so much because I was a devoted fan of the show. When I was younger, I used to sit glued to the television through every episode of The Rockford Files.
