'73 ventura with Shaker
 MikeNoun's Avatar MikeNoun MikeNoun is offline Ultimate Warrior Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Bolingbrook, IL Posts: 1,473 Default They were design proposals to offer a line of performance Pontiacs under one banner called Formula X, similar to how Pontiac marketed the GXP line decades later (Bonneville GXP, Grand Prix GXP, Torrent GXP, Solstice GXP, etc.). The Formula X idea was scrapped, but some of the styling cues found on these three prototypes appeared later. The 1973 Ventura Formula X styling ended up becoming the base for the 1974 GTO. The 1973 LeMans Formula X foreshadowed the styling of the 1977 Can-Am. The 1973 Firebird Formula X used a combination of Trans Am parts such as T/A fender extractors and shaker hood. The red, white, and blue paint scheme was not necessarily intended to cash in on the then popular 1976 Bicentennial craze, but it would have fit in well with all the other special patriotic editions that other manufacturers were releasing.

I liked all of theFormula X cars . The Formula X A-body was close to the Can Am, only a few thing didn't make it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
