1987 Pontiac Formula for sale.

Engine: Originally an LG4, but has been swapped at some point with a 350 shortblock. I've begun a swap over to TPI, but it's not finished. Needs fuel pump installed (LG4 had a lower pressure one) and some other misc changes to be complete - or you can strap on a carb/intake and be done with it.

Trans: T5 5-speed seems to be in good working order. I have driven the car several times and have not had any problem with it. Clutch engages fine.

Rear: B/W 9-bolt (disk brakes) with 3.73 gears. Reportedly installed recently by prior owner.

Interior: Black cloth interior. Seats are faded but usable. Center console was replaced with a 4th gen 6-speed console. Carpet is worn, but usable. Radio pod was removed at some point (I have it, just not installed and face plate missing). Power windows work (slowly). Power locks (sticky like most 3rd gens). T-tops.

Exterior: The car is black, with the Aero spoiler (split from heat/age). Tires need replacing but can be used short-term. Some scratches/chips in the paint but it looks pretty good overall.

I’m asking $1500, but will entertain offers. I debated parting it out, but I’d hate to pull apart a car this complete/nice.

Here are some pics. Please note that some are “before” shots.

Thanks!

 

I wish I had the cash for it, mu buddy had one in High school and I really feel in love with those cars.

 

Back up for sale with a reduced price!

 

That wouldnt make a bad beater. Why dont you keep it? Not kid friendly enough? Looks like a good project car

 

Yeah, it would be a terrific project car (the reason I bought it). However if I can get this sold, and some cash for my (probably) totaled Volvo - along with income tax I can get a nice daily driver.

Besides, I have a '71 Camaro that was my project before this car and I feel I've neglected it long enough.

 

Still for sale.

Any offers?

 

Sucks your not a dealer! I'd make payments on that bad boy. I'd buy it outright, but I don't have $1500 cash

 

Hmm...well if I were a dealer, how much down payment could you afford?

 

When I get my taxes back, prolly about $700. ( Have to pay for some kid, wife, and college expenses with the rest )

 

Hmm. PM/Email me when you get it. I'm in no really hurry to sell it and if I still have it (probably) maybe we can figure something out.

 

Cool! I'm trying to sell my 81 Firebird. Anyone need a project car? lol. Hopefully I can sell that one and get my check back and hit you up!

 

Sounds good - let me know. If it sells before then, I'll post it here.

Thanks!

 

When you say begun, what do you mean? Does it already have part of the TPI intake on it? If it had the carb back on it and ran I might be interested....

 

What's the condition of your '81 firebird your trying to turn?

 

It's in OK condition. I mean, the body is straight and everything is there. It's got T-Tops (two sets). It's primered right now. It's got the Turbo Hood on it, but I have the Shaker Hood and T/A fenders and another front bumper cover for it. I have a leaky Turbo 350 Tranny from a 78 T/A and a 305 V8 from a late model pickup that needs a rebuild for it right now to get it running. I dunno yet though. I have to wait and see what happens with this tax return. My wife wants another car and she may win out on this fight, lol. If I decide to fully go ahead and sell it, I'll make a post and have pictures and a more detailed description.
