1997 Pontiac Firebird

Rare, fast, and fun are traits that add up to the perfect collector car. Along with that trifecta of traits, this 1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula also comes with a shockingly low 27,241 believed actual miles on its odometer. Also believed to be original are the body panels and Mystic Teal Metallic paint, and while exact numbers are fuzzy, reliable sources agree that finding a final-year LT1-powered Fourth Gen with a manual transmission and such low mileage is an incredibly rare vehicle by any account. Inside, we find a Light Grey leather interior. A power driver's seat, complete with lumbar support gives a clear view of the expansive dashboard. A power-assisted, padded steering wheel offers thumb controls for the radio and cruise control, along with a direct view of the 7,000-rpm tachometer and 150-mph speedometer, flanked by four smaller auxiliary gauges on either side. The original-style AC Delco AM/FM/CD player and easy-to-use analog HVAC controls are well-placed on the center stack, while power locks, mirrors, windows, and air conditioning offer all the amenities one could want in a modern late-1990s muscle car. Under that long, sleek hood, we find a 350-cubic-inch LT1 V-8 engine tucked neatly between the front fenders. Thanks to sequential port fuel injection and aluminum heads, this small block produced a healthy (and reportedly underrated) 285 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. Those ponies are routed through a six-speed manual transmission before heading out to the 3.42-geared limited-slip rear end. A set of beautiful 17-inch alloy wheels is shod in Z-rated high-performance rubber.
