A second Pontiac in a row? Yes, and for good reason. Yesterday’s Formula Turbo was a neat look into the dark days at Pontiac and was a beautifully restored example that looked museum-quality. Today’s car is all about details and drivability. It might be pretty easy to make a joke about a white third-gen Firebird of any kind (I was once told that those were the prototypical chick’s car when I was looking at buying a 1991 Formula in my early Army days) but this GTA is a properly-sorted machine that was put together buy someone who has their stuff together. I don’t need to sell the car, the listing sells itself:
Engine:
383 cubic inch
10.5:1 compression ratio
Comp XFI268 camshaft
1.6 ratio roller rockers.
Profiler 185cc aluminum heads. (Ported and I have flow numbers on them)
Lingenfelter/Accel SuperRam intake. Fully ported with a 58mm throttle body.
1 3/4” ceramic coated shorty headers into completely custom dual cat Y-pipe with dual 2.5” catalytic converters and a 3.5” single exhaust with magnaflow muffler.

Centerforce clutch
PRO 5.0 billet aluminum shifter

Power adjustable front seats with inflatable lumbar and bolster support.
Aftermarket stereo with single 10” subwoofer and 500 watt amplifier

Other
When I built the car I also did various other repairs or preventative fixes. The headlight motors are rebuilt, hood and hatch struts have been replaced, fuel pump is a high capacity Walbro 255, Starter and alternator were new when the engine was built. Paint is nearly all original, rear spoiler is a Hawks fiberglass replacement. Car gets 28mpg on the highway if you’re nice to it. Usually averages 19-21 in mixed driving.
Has 18” wheels with real good tires, or I can put the original wheels back on. The original wheels will need tires.
We love it when a real car person puts a proper write-up with their machine that they hate to let go. We understand their pain, but we also appreciate the work involved that goes above and beyond.

For the price it seems like a good deal just have to get a white snake tape and mullet wig and rock it out
