Looking for a good source for production numbers and options for the early 70s Formulas. I saw a reply by 73wu3 in a post that in 1973 (I think),
From June 1994 HPP Formula 350 4,771 Formula 400 4,622 Formula 455 M/T 227 Formula 455 A/T 503 Formula SD M/T 10 Formula SD A/T 33 Trans Am 455 M/T 1,420 Trams Am 455 A/T 3,130 Trans Am SD M/T 72 Trans Am SD A/T 536 533 Formulas had the Ram Air hood Looking for other years and option availability also. I guess I could go out and find dealer brochures but would like to see if I can by one book or something. I'm lokking through back posts know. |

Try to find the "Illustrated Firebird Buyers Guide" by John Gunnell.
Lots of what you are looking for in it. |

the firebird buyers guide doesn't give any production numbers - the only source of production numbers I have found is the 'numbers matching' series in HPP.
If you have anything specific you want to know email me at [email protected] and I'll do my best to get back to you asap.

The book i'm talking about dose have production numbers. One thing it does lack though is a break down on Formula numbers. It gives the numbers for autos and manuals but not engine option sizes.

I haven’t seen the book at any of the local stores but I’m really more interested in options and styling changes in the interior of the car. I will most likely end up with a 350 or a 400 car but if the prices aren’t what I was thinking of I just might build a clone if I find a solid standard bird.

I think as more people get on the Formula train and realize that you could get the same performance, with a true RAM AIR hood and without the Mr T styling these cars will follow in the Trans Am pricing. Don't build a clone - pricing is still low enough to find a quality Formula for little more than a base car these days.

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.
