This is my beautiful 1970 Pontiac Firebird, Formula 400. This is one of less then 687 "Ram Air III" cars that where made. This car has less then 72,400 original miles on it, and is pretty much all stock and numbers matching except for intake manifold, carburator, and full exhaust system. Other then that it's pretty much stock. The 1970 Formula 400 came with two engines, one being the base 400, that produced 330hp and 430 torque, and of course the Ram Air III engine, which was rated at 345hp with 430 lbs of torque, again a massive under rating done by GM. The difference between the two engines where very drastic, the camshafts where different, the cylinder heads, intake manifolds, carburators, and exhaust manifold where all different. In the real world, the Ram Air III engine made a little over 360 hp, and over 480 lbs of torque. It was an under rated factory monster from Pontiac, and in 1970, there was stiff compition on the streets.

This is what it looked like when I got it out of the garage for the first time in over 20 years.

You have a very nice collection. The Firebirds are my favorite. Yeah, I think the 70-74 firebirds are forgotten for the real performers they are. Infact the ram air 5, and latter SD-455 could take hemi's and the mighter but heavy 454 chevys. I like that you explain that to everyone. Because it slipped into alittle known fact because of those week 400s to come after 71. To bad. Good luck with it, its an amazing peice of history.

Very nice time machine. Some cars are worth preserving and keeping stock, like yours. Excellent choices in gen 3 and 4, also. Entertaining site. Keep up the good work and try to be nicer to your tires, ha!
