Description
A 1970 Pontiac Firebird 400 -
One of the most affordable, most recognisable, fastest appreciating and iconic muscle cars ever built.
Over a 40 year period the Pontiac Firebird has earned itself a unique place amongst automotive icons.
What started out as just another contender in the "Me Too" pony car race ended up becoming so much more, only visionaries at Pontiac such as John DeLorean could have come up with a coupe like the Firebird that kept the performance fires burning once the mighty GTO was gone.
As a collector's car, the Firebird has all the right credentials, competition history, a wide variety of power and trim options, various low volume and commemorative models and a healthy helping of nostalgia thrown in for good measure thus making the older versions some of the fastest appreciating American muscle cars available today.
Whether you are investing or simply looking for a way to etch a permanent smile on your face, or maybe both, this 1970 Pontiac Formula 400 represent...
