Carolina Muscle Cars is proud to present this exceptionally rare and highly desirable 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 455 HO, one of the most respected muscle cars of the era and a true collector-grade investment. Finished in its original factory-correct Quasar Gold exterior with Custom Sandalwood (Tan) interior and supported by extensive documentation, this Formula represents the pinnacle of Pontiac performance during the final years of the high-compression muscle car wars.
According to the included Pontiac factory documentation, this Formula was built with the legendary 455 HO V8 producing 335 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Even more desirable, it was ordered with the M22 ""Rock Crusher"" close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission, making it one of the most sought-after drivetrain combinations available in 1971.
