1977 Pontiac Firebird for Sale. 1977 Pontiac Firebird Formula Very nice clean original with the 6.6 T/A 400 4Bbl. I had a 1988 Pontiac Formula Firebird when was a young man, but we live in a city where there are many hills and rear-wheel drive is not ideal. You are looking at a 1977 Pontiac Firebird Formula. No engine or transmission. You can own this classic for only $3,000.00 which I feel is very fair for a car like this one with the potential that.
Sep 24, 2018 The base Firebird engine was a new 231-cu.in. Buick V-6, but the Formula came standard with a Pontiac 301 V-8 (soon replaced by a Chevy 305) and offered a 49-state Pontiac 350 or the alternate California/high-altitude Olds 350. For 1978, the Chevy 305 was joined.
