Finished in green metallic paint over black leather and vinyl upholstery, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 is the subject of a custom restoration including a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine paired with a Tremec 6-speed manual gearbox. The car is equipped with Detroit Speed disc brakes and coilover suspension, power steering, a 9” rear axle, 18” Boze alloy wheels, a roll bar, TMI Products bucket seats, Vintage Air climate control, and a retro-style digital stereo. Completed in 2019 and acquired by the seller in 2022, this custom Firebird restomod is now being offered for auction out of Wisconsin.
This Firebird has been refinished in bright metallic green paint and features a Ram Air-style hood, a chrome rear bumper and rocker trim, tinted windows, dual side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. The car rides on 18” Boze alloy wheels with BFGoodrich g-Force Rival tires measuring 275/35 in front and 335/30 at the rear.
The cabin has been reupholstered featuring a black leather dashboard, a leather-wrapped roll bar, and a pair of TMI Products high-back front bucket seats in black vinyl with microfiber suede inserts. Other accessories include woodgrain dashboard trim, a three-spoke Formula-style steering wheel, a Hurst shifter, power windows, Vintage Air climate control, Lizard Skin ceramic floor insulation, and a retro-style digital stereo with satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity.
Power comes from a 6.2-liter GM LT4 V8 crate engine paired with a 1.7-liter Eaton R1740 TVS supercharger, a Killer Chiller heat exchanger, a Holley oil pan, an aluminum radiator, and ceramic-coated headers with a 3” stainless-steel exhaust system. The rear wheels are driven through a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission and a 9” rear axle. The car is equipped with power-assisted rack & pinion steering, Baer disc brakes with cross-drilled and slotted rotors, a Detroit Speed brake booster, and a Detroit Speed suspension featuring tubular front control arms, a Quadara Link rear setup, anti-roll bars, and coilovers at each corner.
This sale will include a clean title.

Thanks for the comments! This is a real driver's car and it does everything extremely well. The early 2nd gen F-Bodies are by far one of my favorite muscle cars...and that's coming from a HUGE Porschephile. It still carries that true muscle car feel but actually boasts modern horsepower and transmission (this thing RIPS) and proper suspension and brakes that actually work! And the rare Key Lime Green color is just icing on the cake!
Amazing build! Thanks for the real driving videos! The first one had me worried like you were on your way to church or something. The 2nd was the real deal! GLWA.

My dad bought one of these brand new in 1970 and to this day thought it was the coolest car ever. Will never forget the rasp exhaust of the 400 Pontiac shortblock. Love this build but sound does not sound anything like the old Pontiac mill, but I am sure it is better in every way....Good luck with the sale.
Nice looking Firebird. Shame that much was spent without cataloging the build with images. She's a looker all the same.
The car was built in Florida, then came to Wisconsin around 2022. Under 1,500 miles since completion. Full receipt documentation of the build (over 200k in receipts) but not photo documented.
awesome resto mod, Seller where did this car reside since being completed in 2019 as I see lots of surface rust in the trunk, hardware throughout etc, was this in FL or near salt water? How many miles driven since completion and does the car come with a complete photo build documenting the entire build?
