1971 Pontiac Formula, 350 Pontiac
Motor, Automatic Transmission, Posi Traction Rear End, Front Disc
Brakes.
This Pontiac Formula was actually purchased by the owner of Muscle
Car City. The owner responded to an advertisement about a 1971 Trans
AM for sale in Riverside California. We all got frothy mouths, hooked
up the trailer and drove out to find sad 1971 Formula. We had an
empty trailer and we all felt like the next stop for this car would
be the Junk Yard so we took it home.

THE SOLUTION
Paint and Body: As you can
see everything needed restoring, so everything came apart. The
floor pans and trunk pans where in amazingly good condition, but
every other panel on this car was worked and then reworked. The
nose and passenger fender where beyond repair so they where replaced
with original parts. After intense body work. The Formula was
sprayed with a gallon and a half of P.P.G Emerald Blue and Clear.
When we put her back together. We went over the top a little.
The side vents on the fenders which are originally painted to
match the car where chromed. The bezels for side marker lights
chromed along with bumpers, headlight bezels, etc. We added front
and back spoilers along with trunk spoilers giving her that little
extra sport look..









Motor: Was rebuilt with a mild cam, after market intake,
carburetor, new gas tank, radiator, electrical components, exhaust
and a dress up kit.




Interior::What a mess it was.
The complete interior except for the steering wheel and gauges
where replaced..
.





Suspension and Drive Train:
Was completely rebuilt including all new bushings, control arms,
brakes, rebuilt transmission, and rear end.
This Car went from heap to a very happy buyer in Beverly Hills
California, another Great American Muscle Car Saved From The Junk
Yard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
