"1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula
""The Formula and coupe exist for purists who want a completely distilled driving experience.� Their form is unmistakable, their hardware is present and accounted for. �And that's all you need to know.""� But the sales brochure from '89 then goes into great detail about the features of the Formula. �1989 would be a banner year for the Firebird line as it was crowned by the Indy pace car version of the Trans Am, up until then, the fastest Firebird ever produced.�
For consignment, a 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula with a title verified 18,999 actual miles, an astounding 3 owner time capsule that will come to you with original paperwork right down to the original salesman's card.� It's been converted to R134a air conditioning, but beyond that, it's just as it left the showroom floor.�
Exterior
Formulas were available in two tones and this one arrived with Silver Blue Metallic over Silver, separated by a red accent line that fully encircles the car and underscores Formula decals on the door, in true Firebird fashion, unapologetically large. �Black bumper guards reside on the wedge's front and� pop up headlights live on a smooth hood that wears an offset power bulge, compliments of previous Trans Ams, and 5.0 Liter F.I. is spelled out there. �The one piece wing first hugs the rear window before flattening out over the hatch lid above tri-colored tail lights that meet at a black center panel with a small screaming eagle image.� 16-inch wheels are in impeccable condition and wrapped in 245/50R16 tires with an early 2021 date code.� The paint is excellent on the car with two small imperfections that include a spot of rough texture on the rocker panel and a chip near the door gap.��
Interior
Angular panels and mixed materials make up the door panels which are neat and functional and not overwrought with controls or hard plastic.� Inside, cloth gray buckets seats look as new as you would expect on the sub 20k mile car, and these show no wear, especially the 2+2 seating in back which is also very nice. �The gray theme continues with the steering wheel that leads to a black plastic gauge cluster with four major gauges, orange needles and a Tron-like background to each.� Gray buttons adorn the center stack's AM/FM/Cassette radio and the levers on the A/C panel and to the right, we find the leatherette storage pouch in front of the navigator in the guest seat.� More grid design exists on plastic panels including on the button pad in the center console, just behind the t-handle shifter in remarkably fine condition.� Low pile gray carpet covers the floor, protected by mats, and that's also what covers the cargo area that holds the T-top covers.��
Drivetrain
Time has caused some discoloration of particular components of the engine but overall, we're looking at a near showroom condition bay, housing a 305ci V8 rated at 170 horsepower and fuel injected.� A 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission leads to a 10 bolt rear with 2.73 gears, a combination that found its way into millions of GM vehicles of this era. �Power brakes bring the car to a stop with front discs and rear drums.�
Undercarriage
Once again, time does its business by turning some components including the driveshaft and axle, reddish with surface rust on an otherwise spotless underside.� A single exhaust runs back to a large muffler that sends out dual tailpipes.� Suspension consists of coil springs in front and a torque arm with coil springs in back.� Hefty front and rear sway bars keep this F-body grounded around turns.�
Drive-Ability
Ergonomically speaking, the F-body provides a comfortable cabin with a reclined seating position and shifter in exactly the right place. �The injected V8 is a quick starter, and we baby this Formula onto the test loop for a short run so we don't rack up any more miles than necessary.� It's not the fastest of the Firebird line, but its handling is on par with the best and with equal tires on all four wheels, tracks straight as an arrow as it cuts through the air with its streamlined body.� As expected, all functional items on the car worked as they should.� While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.�
This nicely optioned time capsule might be one of the cleanest '89 Formulas in the country.� All Firebirds were produced at the Van Nuys plant, including the 16,670 Formulas.� Each of the three owners of this car had the same thing in mind; keep the miles low and the car as pristine as possible and each accomplished that goal. �What you choose to do with it is up to you but the first decision you have to make is when you're going to call the mall.� How about as soon as you're done reading this?�
