Description

Any Knight Rider fan will agree that the third generation of the Firebird is an exceptionally striking vehicle from any angle. Sleek and sporty, the 1982 to 1992 models draw attention anywhere they go. However, if we're being honest with ourselves, if these cars had one weak point, it would be under the hood. That sentiment is exactly why this particular 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula LS Restomod WS6 is such a stellar vehicle. Fully repainted in Medium Green Pearl, this Formula sports the late-model front fascia of the third gen's final two years, along with its signature T-tops to allow for the open-air fun of a convertible without sacrificing the rigidity of a coupe.

Inside, we find a new Beachwood-colored interior that has been redone to mimic the car's original look. Power mirrors, power locks, power windows, and cruise control all allow for a comfortable ride, while the brand-new air-conditioning system just needs to be gassed up to get it going. An upgraded three-spoke padded steering wheel sits just in front of the big four-pod gauge cluster, while an analog set of HVAC and radio controls for the AM/FM/cassette player make adjustments easy without taking your eyes off the road.

Under that cowl hood is where this Firebird really sets itself apart. A 5.3-liter aluminum-block LS V-8 with less than a thousand miles of use since it was rebuilt waits to be fired up. New rod and main bearings, new pistons, a high-volume oil pump, LS6 cam, LS6 valve springs, new intake valves, and an Edelbrock hi-rise intake manifold all work in harmony with an Edelbrock Pro-Flo EFI system to create fourth-generation power inside this gen-three body. That power is routed through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the Ford nine-inch Positraction rear end, fitted with launch-friendly 3.90:1 gears to get this bird in flight down the road with alacrity.

Along with its beastly motor, this 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula LS Restomod WS6 rides on an upgraded and one-inch-lowered suspension that includes tubular trailing arms, a UMI transmission tunnel brace, and matching stabilizer bar to keep its 16-inch WS6-specific wheels shod in 245/50R-16 Hankook tires firmly planted on the tarmac. Four-wheel power disc brakes are ready and willing to rein in those ponies whenever the need arises. But, if you've been looking for a great looking third-gen Firebird with a fourth-gen soul, then don't you dare pump those brakes of your own, this is the car you've been waiting for. Don't wait, call today!
