Absolutely gorgeous car!.. I would love to have that... Once upon a time I had a 1970 bird, and added the same exact Sun tachometer to the column... We all did that back then ..lol
That hood was designed for the Trans Am, but management ruined the plan. The creator loved the hood soo much that he pushed for it to be on the Formula. This design is much more functional than the Trans Am scoop, as proven in tests by Pontiac.
Great Car, mines only a 350 esprit, green on green but 1 owner before me 27,000 miles with every original hose clip never been touched except the exhaust and a set of tires !
The 1970-72 Formula Firebirds were the best. You could also get a 455 H.O. called a Formula 455. In 1973-74 if you were lucky you could get a 455 Super Duty in either a Trans Am or Formula. The yellow Formula in your video is beautiful and I love the ram air option on it as well.
Base engine 400 engine in this car, I freezed on the sheet. So 330 HP for you asking. THere would have been an option on the sheet listed if it was upgraded to RAIII or IV. Still a fantastic car...plenty of torque there. Grew up with a friend had a 71 Formula 350 3 speed, Black w white stripes, It was a dog off the line but would get up at top end 135 or so and handled and braked amazingly! Really getting very hard to find these.
What people in America is failing to realize is these beautiful classic cars are being shipped in groves out the country ,Wake up one day & most will be gone overseas
So, the most important question is which 400? There were 3 available, the regular passenger car 400, the 366hp ram alr 3 or the beast ram air 4 rated at 370 hp. Of course, a ram air 4 makes this a 6 figure car. Instead of messing with a bunch of papers show us the beef!
I wuz curious about the motor too Greg. Was waiting for the walk down the passenger side fender, so we could see the center ports, and try an dissect the head code. But "no". slam the hood quickly. Oh, and by the way, I'm sure you know the RAIV in the F/B was rated at 345, rather than 370. Same motor as the Goat. The factory just stuck a restrictor on the secondary linkage, to cut the power down. Don't wanna "degrade" the Goat, anymore than it already had been. :)
The ram air IV was not available for the 1970 formula model, only for the Trans Am.. Any 1970 formula that claims it has the ram air IV tells me it was not factory installed...
I had a chance to own a 1970 firebird formula 400 with all matching numbers and a balanced and blueprinted engine that flat out screamed ! My dad's friend wanted $3500 cash so I worked a 30 hour a week job and mowed grass and saved every nickel . Took me a few months and when I had the money and went to purchase it ........the guy backed out and said it was his first real car and he got it for a graduation present and just couldn't part with it ! This was in 1986 .......the car had 27,000 one owmer miles on it and was kept under a cover in a climate controlled warehouse ! The guy still owns that car but he's a multi millionaire now and no amount of money would be enough ! Damnit man !
Never changed the springs to accommodate the rear spoiler. Rear spoiler wasn't available for the formula, from the factory...many people added it though.
What a beautiful Firebird Formula! My first car was a 1980 Formula. I wish I still had it.
Mopar fan checking in; the early gen 2 F bodies were so uncluttered & elegant. This car is just lovely.
My.first car was identical to that one except mine had the black interior. Drove it all through high school. I miss that old girl.

This car is gorgeous. This is the hood Pontiac should have used for the Trans Am.

I couldn’t agree more
Man that's beautiful, the best looking 2nd gen.
That car is *expletive beautiful. Love the color.
Great Car, mines only a 350 esprit, green on green but 1 owner before me 27,000 miles with every original hose clip never been touched except the exhaust and a set of tires !
That's a beauty. My first car purchase was an '91 Formula 350
Super Sweet car. Thanks for showing. Appreciate all your cars and videos.

love the ram air option on it as well.
70 to 73 the best nose of these cars
Beatiful Formula 400 my dream car 🚗 🚘
I loved my 72 formula 400 four on the floor !

Max hp for that year was 335 right? 😉
@@ryryy1980wrong max HP for 1970 would have been the RAIV 370 hp

Wow never seen that colour interior on a Firebird. Gorgeous car wish I could buy it but I live in Canada 😪
Why cant you buy it if you live in Canada? cant you just fly down look at it, then transport it?
My dream car right here
Favorite body style FB

No such thing as a RA IV Formula
@@chutoparadinni5474 Where do you get your info from? There were well over 100 69 firebirds with the RAIV engine. Only 55 were in T/As.
@@joequillun7790 The Video is about the 70 Formula 400, so again, No such thing as a RA IV Formula, not in 70.
The ram air IV was not available for the 1970 formula model, only for the Trans Am..
Any 1970 formula that claims it has the ram air IV tells me it was not factory installed...
James Garner would Like it !
His was an ugly one. Lol.

I see the car must have sold. What was the purchase price for this beauty?
They never tell you....
Had a 71 / 400 & 73 / 455 , the 73 was yellow we called it big bird 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Beating Formula 400 my dream car 🚗 😍
No mention of the factory RAM Air....
Love this body style but don't care for the color. Had a 1970 Trans Am back in my younger days. God I miss that car.
Dude, I get sick of people who say original, it’s been restored to original, quit lying.
I thought the hood on my 99 trans am ram air was long. You can land a helicopter on that hood!
Original plate from 1967 ❓❓❓whAT‼️
How much?
You should do a lot walk around,,
Juan Carlos Next time i get a chance we will do a walk around ! We got everything on our website www.affordableclassicsinc.com
Cool vid!
The wheels on that Camaro look ghetto and do this classic car injustice. Please replace them with the stock wheels ASAP.
на этих машинах большие диски на низком профиле смотрятся как колеса от кареты ....вот на желтом авто круто!!!!
How much are you , asking for 1970 Formula 400 W/ ram air 61,400 miles on the clock...LL KOOL RAY 👍🇺🇸😎
A real 💎 gem. But, I hate the color. Lacquer Black would be awesome.
original broomstick to hold up the trunk lid
Someone always has something negative to say 👍🏽
Very common to need a prop up stick when the lid has a spoiler on it...
@@karaDee2363 I have one of these cars. In his the spring is broken
Snooter hood.....
The wheels on the Camaro = TRASH!!!!
Hate that tach! That’s the first to go!
What's matter for you ! Saying 1967 it's a 1970 !
I’ll give you $5760 for it...
@Pika.chu977 I'd be willing to meet in the middle @$7k
@Pika.chu977 By now I assume this car has been sold?
swooshing pants...
Needs a stick to hold the trunk up 🤣 wrong springs not original
@Joshua Hendrix You're right, nobody cares.
Never changed the springs to accommodate the rear spoiler. Rear spoiler wasn't available for the formula, from the factory...many people added it though.
I love the car but I can't belive they painted it yellow. Arggg
The '69 is ruined by the gnomesayin' "rims"
Drugs are BAD OKAY.
Jambs are a different shade.
WTF are “jambs” 🧐???
Original is ok. Prefer a tour car all day long, night and day ride difference. classic rides like a bucket of 🔩🔩
This car was a very rare find... a needle in the haystack ... originality is becoming harder and harder to find with now everybody restomoding cars .
It even has the original license plate from 1967 !!!!!🐒💩🙉
Those awful hip hop rims ruin american muscle cars
What!!! Are you fkn blind or stupid, Rally’s are awesome wheels and your dumb comment makes me wonder about your taste in cars or anything in general.
How much for the tweety boid?
original exhaust......but bumper rechromed ...oruginal license plates from 1967 ????
