I am the 2nd owner of this 1988
Formula 350 factory original car. I purchased the car in June of 2004
from the original owner. Formula was a special order from Dworak Motors
Inc, Kewaunee, WI.Car always garaged and covered when not in use. Every
receipt & all original sale paperwork (Pontiac Firebird Owner’s Manual,
GM Passenger maintenance schedule booklets, Delco ETR Music System Manual,
build sheet, pre-delivery inspection sheet, 1988 Firebird/TA showroom brochures,
Goodyear tire warranty info, various other warranties, sales agreement
paperwork from original sale and original Window Sticker). There is more
paperwork I did not mention! Pictures will give you an idea of it all. All
the paperwork will leave no doubt of the Formula’s provenance and history!
I had the car shipped from Wisconsin to NYS via enclosed
carrier. I used Pass-Port Transport and have paperwork that will go
with the sale of the car. I am selling the car to replace it with either
a 2nd gen TA or a new Saturn Sky for my wife. I owned a 1980 TA for 23
years and I now miss the 2nd gen TA!
Items that will be included with the car are the Beverly
Hills Motoring Accessories Cloth Car Cover and 3 piece Wolf front end
bra.
The car has 33366 original miles at the time of this
narrative (03/02/08), and shows/drives as you would expect the car
to with both the low miles and adult driven care this car has received.
Car is always garaged and covered when not in use. Car stored winter
months and does not see rain in the summer. Car has A/C (still blows cold),
power windows & locks, cruise control, intermittent wipers, original
Delco AM/FM Cassette Stereo System. Everything works, even the rear hatch
locking mechanism which are known to fail. Headlights open up and retract
normally.
To date, work that I have done is a tune-up (new injectors,
distributor, spark plugs & wires). New Dunlop G-Force Sport (ZR
speed rating) Radials installed 4/27/06 to replace original Goodyear
Eagle’s. I kept the Eagles’ if buyer wants them. I also just replaced
the original hood insulation due to fairly poor show condition of the
original insulation. New MAS replaced Fall '07 with factory OEM
BOSCH sensor. Otherwise, the car is all original.
Formula 350’s
Condition:
1.) The paint is in excellent condition,
with no sun fading, factory original, Paint looks great, no peeling, cracking
or fading. Local Pontiac Service Technician remarked how great the paint
looked for the age of the car! All door rubber moldings in excellent, near
showroom condition due to minimal sunlight exposure and great care.
2.) Aluminum wheels/rims are in excellent factory/showroom
original condition, as seen in the picture. These are the factory
original Western cast aluminum offset rims.
3.) The undercarriage shows as near showroom new condition
due to the factory undercoating & fair weather driving. The rear
pumpkin still has an original factory spec sticker on it. All undercarriage
components are original to include the muffler system.
4.) Interior shows as factory/showroom new with no visible
fading and/or wear. There are no dashboard cracks. The car still retains
the original red GM cloth floor mats.
5.) Engine compartment is in excellent condition. As
mentioned above, the hood insulation has just been replaced. There
are no leaks/drips.
Now, for the Cars Performance:
The car drives and handles as factory new. The
GM 350 engine pulls strong as you would expect from an adult driven car
with low miles. The handling is awesome, to the point that most drivers
will never experience its full performance capabilities.
Absolutely no disapointments
with this car!! A picture and credit of the car is currently featured
in May 06 edition of High Performance Pontiac Magazine. It is the article
of last summer’s 3rd Annual All Firebird Lawn Show held at Saratoga Springs,
NY. The car won a Sponsors Award for favorite/best 3rd generation Firebird.
