Pontiac Firebird Formula, Gold, for sale in Charlotte, North Carolina, for $39,995.

Documentation is everything, and this 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula might be the most heavily documented car we've ever seen. This is a one-owner car, and not only do we have the original purchase documents, but it also includes every oil change, replacement part, EVEN THE DATES THE CAR WAS WASHED AND WAXED. For example, when were the brakes serviced? Look it up and you'll find out when they were replaced, how many miles were on the car, and how much it cost. Other documentation includes the original title, dealer sales invoice, installment contract, original warranty card, and owner's manuals.

Restored in 1991, the original gold paint was refinished using PPG Yellow Gold two-stage urethane, and it probably looks better now than when it was new. Seeing as it has had just one conscientious owner from new, you know it has never been wrecked or damaged, and it has not seen snow or salt-ever. You'll love the Formula's combination of aggressive hood scoops right above the split grille, and the clean rear devoid of add-on spoilers or wings, making it an exceptionally clean design. All the brightwork, including the bright red Firebird emblems, is original and either wonderfully preserved or restored.

The black vinyl interior is simply astounding, and the level of detail inside this car is jaw-dropping. Those front buckets are as comfortable as they look, and look ready for another 40 years of driving excitement. The dash, with its wood applique, is immaculate, and the dash pad shows no signs of age or UV damage. Carpets, console, door panels, and the headliner are all similarly well preserved and simply too nice to be believed. Equipped with noteworthy options such as factory A/C, and an AM/FM radio, all in working condition, makes this car a pleasure to drive. In back, the trunk features what may very well be the original spare tire along with a complete jack assembly.

The 400 cubic inch V8 is the original, matching-numbers piece, and was fully rebuilt several years ago. This engine bay is absolutely show ready. There's bright Pontiac Turquoise paint on the block, vivid chrome accents, and all the original decals remain intact. Almost every component you see under the hood is original, and if it is a replacement, it's noted in the extensive service records. The TH400 automatic is also numbers-matching, fully rebuilt and drives the original rear end full of 3.08 gears. The chassis tells you everything you need to know about this incredible time capsule of a car, with zero rust or damage, and a highly original patina. It rolls on 15-inch honeycomb wheels that look fantastic, but the original 14-inch wheels are included with the sale.
