1977 Pontiac Firebird Formula, Custom Resto Mod, Over $125,000 Invested This is not your average second-generation Firebird. This 1977 Pontiac Firebird Formula has been transformed into a professionally built, high-end resto mod with performance, drivability, and modern engineering at its core while still maintaining the soul of the original car. Originally a one-owner vehicle until now, this Firebird comes with its Original Title, Build Sheet, and Window Sticker — an incredible foundation for what has become a six-figure custom build. Performance & Drivetrain At the heart of this build is a powerful LS2 V8 engine, delivering modern reliability and serious performance. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, this Firebird offers smooth shifting, strong acceleration, and highway-friendly cruising. • LS2 V8 Engine • 6-Speed Automatic Transmission • Narrowed W6 Trans Am Rear End • Detroit Speed Mini Tub Kit with Subframe Connectors This is a car built to handle real power not just look good parked. Suspension, Handling & Braking The suspension and chassis upgrades were done right, making this car as impressive underneath as it is on top. • Hotchkis Performance Suspension • RideTech Air Ride System – adjustable stance and comfort • 4-Wheel Wilwood Disc Brakes • Subframe Connectors for Added Rigidity This Firebird stops confidently, corners flat, and rides smoothly. You can dial in the stance and enjoy modern handling in a classic body style. Interior & Comfort This isn’t a stripped-down hot rod it’s a refined resto mod built to be driven. • Vintage Air Conditioning – modern climate control • Clean, updated interior • Comfortable enough for daily driving or long cruises Exterior & Stance The Detroit Speed mini tub setup allows for a more aggressive rear tire fitment, giving this Firebird the muscular stance it deserves. • Billet Wheels • Wide Performance Tires • Aggressive, Pro-Touring Look Investment & Value Over $125,000 was invested into this build. The level of parts and craftsmanship reflects that number. Today, it is being offered for a fraction of what was spent — making this an exceptional value for someone looking to step into a fully sorted, high-end resto mod without waiting years or spending six figures to build one. This is the kind of car you can: • Drive comfortably on the street • Take to weekend car shows • Cruise long distances with confidence • Or simply enjoy as a turnkey modern muscle machine The combination of one-owner history, original documentation, and serious modern performance upgrades makes this 1977 Firebird Formula a rare opportunity. If you want a second-gen F-body that blends classic Pontiac style with modern engineering and real performance this is it. Turn the key. Air it down. Drive it anywhere. While we do our best to provide the highest quality muscle cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. That being said, we have not built, modified, changed or personally owned this vehicle. Whether this vehicle is consigned or owned by Past & Present Motor Cars we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we not only welcome but we encourage 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. We list our vehicles on multiple websites and a vehicle can sell at any time. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Financing is Available with low rates and Vehicle Shipping is available from our Showroom to your Garage. A Classic Car Warranty is Available for Purchase from a 3rd Party. Please speak to our Sales Associate or Company Representative for more information. Our team is working and available anytime by Phone or Text for your convenience at 407-559-7759. Thank you for your interest!

Past & Present Motor Cars was founded in June of 2018 by Jack and Jeff and began in 2 small warehouses in Ocala and Winter Garden, Florida. After seeing the business have steady growth in the first year and a half in March 2020 we moved our Main Location in Winter Garden to a new location that at the time seemed huge. We were a little nervous to take on this larger building and higher rent but we knew we had to THINK BIG. After getting moved in, that was the start of Covid. Just after getting settled in we put signs on the door saying we were only open by appointment. While it was a tough time in the world it actually was a good time to be in the car business especially the classic car business and we continued to see steady growth. After 2 1/2 years in that location we proceeded to acquire 4 buildings and lease a 5th building. This allowed for the operation we have today with 150+ Classic Cars and a Service Department. We are still doing the same thing we have done everyday since we opened, Great Customer Service, Owners that are Available and Accessible for our customers and very happy to talk cars anytime anywhere. We will never grow too big to be real with anyone! Keeping our commitment to our customers through straightforward business and ALWAYS doing the right thing! We are the same people with the same commitment as the day we opened and our slogan is and remains:
Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
