Is that a 455 HO which would make it more desirable. That is a major project....

1971 was a weird year for the Firebird. You could get the base 325 HP, 455 4BBL with the regular cylinder heads in the Formula and also the 335 HP, 455HO with the round port heads, for a little more. They didn't sell many of the 325 HP version. Rare but not that valuable.
In 72 it was just the 455HO version of the 455. |

It is a very rare black car which was still an available color in 1971.
As you may recall in 1972, Pontiac didn't offer black as a Firebird paint option. (You could get around it by doing a special order paint color and paying $20 or so and then choosing black). Last edited by njsteve; 09-11-2022 at 10:33 PM. |
