I had a 76 Formula back in the 80's. It was a 400 4 speed. LOVED that car.

With the fire bird, being some what of a America Classic.. I would like to see some kind of a full restore (Budget wise) like you did with the Porche.

@byronmills5952 9 ай бұрын

Agreed these 1970s 2nd generation Firebirds and all their variants are iconic American classics recognised throughout the world. This car fully deserves some sympathetic restoration treatment. Considering it's been idle for so long it's in remarkable shape.

Your backs will thank you for the 4 post lift! And your family should appreciate the safety aspect of it too. Manuals are great in the country, but in stop and go on a freeway for your morning commute, or crawling through downtown traffic in you daily rush hour home, not so much.

Great work! 👍 I'm hoping for a fifth episode showing off the new interior. BTW, I have two Pontiac Firebid cars in my garage. A Pontiac Firebird 350 convertible, built in 1968 and a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 6.6 liter, built in 1978. Both in very good original condition after restoration.

One thing with a Saginaw, the shift linkage tab bolts on the transmission should have a special washer that you bend the tabs up. You really want those on there, trust me.

If your universal joints are too loose, making them difficult to use, wrap some electrical tape around the center to keep the joint from relaxing to either side. Good score on the lift.

Most of his Formulas gad hood slits like GTO. James Garner owned his own production co. so he got to choose what car he drove on the show. He liked Firebirds and there was a Pontiac dealer nearby the studio office.

Rockford did not drive formulas. He drove esprit’s. The base model. None of his cars ever had the formula hood

@@Jstme303We try to keep true to our roots. Waiting and saving for years now to get to the point of having a lift. We live week to week. It was a very inexpensive one. But truly, something we felt would help tremendously with our rebuild efforts here on the channel.
