1979 Pontiac Firebird Formula
Rust-free, VIN-decoded Formula with a solid reputation for longevity and classic appeal. This two-tone Black-on-Black Formula features a smooth 4.9L V8 & automatic transmission, — believed to be 111,000 original miles.
Genuine 1979 Formula model — a distinctive and less common Firebird variation from a strong production year.
In 1979, Pontiac built 211,454 Firebirds, across all trims. Of those, only about 24,850 were Formulas, making this a notably rarer sibling to the more common base and Trans Am models.
This car presents very well with a clean older repaint, updated wheels, and an interior that’s exceptionally preserved for its age. A comfortable driver as-is, it includes sought-after factory options like power windows, power locks, tilt steering, cruise control, A/C, hot heat, and a working stock AM/FM radio — all currently operational.
Whether you’re looking for a classic daily driver or a standout in your collection, this Firebird Formula delivers personality, authenticity, and presence.
