No excuses. No apologies. Just old-school American muscle.

If you've been shopping for a clean second-generation Firebird, you already know what's out there. Rust buckets. Half-finished projects. Overpriced "restorations." This isn't one of them.

This 1980 Pontiac Firebird Formula is a solid, driver-quality car that was built to be driven, not hidden under a car cover.

Under the hood sits a 6.6L V8 backed by an automatic transmission and a long list of performance upgrades reportedly completed by the previous owner, including:

• Edelbrock 650 CFM Carburetor
• Edelbrock Intake Manifold
• Edelbrock Timing Chain
• Fairbanks Torque Converter
• Crane Roller Rocker Arms
• New Push Rods
• New Lifters
• BlackJack Aluminum Headers
• Moroso 7-Quart Oil Pan
• Dual Electric Cooling Fans
• Reinforced Frame
• New 3.73 Positraction Rear End

The straight-pipe exhaust dumps off the headers and sounds exactly like it should. It doesn't whisper. It doesn't purr. It barks. Turn the key, and everyone within earshot knows you're leaving.

Inside, you'll find a freshly redone interior with new seats and carpet. Power steering, power 4-wheel brakes, lightweight aluminum wheels, and the unmistakable Formula styling complete the package.

Let's be clear—this is NOT a show car. It has paint imperfections, chips, blemishes, and the normal cosmetic flaws you'd expect from a driver. If you're looking for perfection, this isn't your car.

If you're looking for an affordable V8 muscle car that you can jump in, cruise, take to local shows, or roast the tires leaving Cars & Coffee, you're going to have a hard time finding more car for the money.

All performance modifications listed are based on information provided by the previous owner. We have not disassembled or independently verified the engine build.

Sold 100% AS-IS, AS TRADED. No warranties. No stories. No games.

$14,500 PLUS TAX, PLATES & $394 DOC FEE.
