1996 Pontiac Formula Firebird with 28K miles Review and Test Drive by Bill - Auto Europa Naples

Did a video and auction on this car for a very good friend of mine. Fun car - great to drive.

[@chop2093]

I had a 1996 formula from 2001-2006. Bought it with 38k and traded it in with over 150k miles. Great , reliable car. The only thing I ever had to fix was the radiator and clutch at 140K miles.

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

Your lucky to have a 6spd

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

I bet it was fun daily

[@JeffsWorld1]

I purchased this very car two years ago and it has a little over 31k miles now. It’s a truly amazing car!! ✌️

[@speedfiend925]

I can understand wanting to keep it's value up but these cars were meant to be driven. I recall a friend of mine fresh out of the Marines bought one of these back in 1993 when they first came out. The exhaust sound alone sold me on them. His was also red with the same color velour interior ironically.

[@devinsimms5699]

I just got one of these for my first car

[@safetuhul5250]

How is it?

[@C-Raw2Raw]

yea how is it

[@blakejackson35]

How is it I’m planning on buying one

[@seanwoodson1143]

How is it

[@DOUBLEODDZERO]

get rid of it. If it has the LT1 V8 Engine, its going to cause big problems.

[@scottwolverine3062]

i have this same car, but with chrome rims. 35,000 miles. I love it. such a beautiful fun car to cruise around..

[@MultiCfoster]

beautiful 4th Gen Firebird

[@Rinluyen420]

3rd gen is 82' to 92', this is a 4th gen.

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

I said that fourth out loud when he said 3rd lol. So is the 4th 93-103?

[@WSNO]

Love it when Dodger from the dog and cat in new york talks about cars the same way that coyotes talk about Baseball

[@johnhenrymcmahon6878]

Amazingly hot and gorgeous Pontiac Firebird, Bill. WOW!

[@DrunkenSailor883]

Thinking about getting this for my first car, family member selling to me for $2,000 full restoration, complete rebuilt engine about 100,000 miles on it, thoughts?

[@dontegivan262]

Just bought one check for rust under the body and the fuel and brakes lines had to replace mine have 95 formula

[@tayvin6538]

How’s it running? might by the same thing for 2K tommorow.

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

I have a 95 quasar blue fire chicken

[@niksatt4843]

I hope you did it

[@Lulnateee]

I have a 94 Trans am i only paid 1700 for it, only issue was the key was broken in the ignition 200 for the steering column so basically paid 1900 for a 115,000 mile transam

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

Sell me the trans

[@Lulnateee]

@@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285 hell naw im passing that thing down to my son 🤣

[@liammaupin9492]

My auto shop has one of these I’m gonna see if I can buy it

[@sergiog8972]

Did you get it?

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

Probably got skeered bcuz the power

[@AnthonyOldhandGarcia]

Your voice almost sounds like actor Elliot Gould from Ocean's 11. Nice review and cool car my dad used to own a '71 Pontiac Firebird formula with a 350 engine in it, too bad he had to donate it due to the transmission being shot.

[@mikemassey7458]

Zf 6 speed ? Wow it must be super special Thought it wld have a borg warner t56 🥴

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

It does. This dude is just making it up as he goes

[@seanwoodson1143]

I’m buying one with 240k miles on it lol but it’s been well maintained for its overall lifetime. Had 2 owners. First owner had it for 11 years 2 owner had it for 14. Always been well serviced and maintain. Do you guys think It’s a good idea to get it? It still runs and everything

[@seanwoodson1143]

Is it reliable?

[@philipmolino9782]

Did you buy it?jw

[@chevelle99xify]

Nice red lining the car with those take off's. Psshh!!

[@lucius0malfoy]

I had one exacly the same. only i need a motor than lifts the left headlight.

[@lance-pc1qz]

I had a purple 350 ls1 6 speed manual I miss her

[@JonOffgrid]

I just got a v6 firebird 475 but i had to get a motor for it

[@hunnterful1]

Tbh id change out and get custom seats

[@ryanwilliams3369]

That's a soft close bill!

[@byronblackwell4314]

Does it have automatic transmission, cruise control,v8, Power steering , power brack

[@silentrage8961]

You're a Dumaz!

[@gyrokaptain5985]

If I ever get a car like this, I will raise up one hand and say "I rule".

[@Lucas-qb3bs]

How does it do in rain? I doubt it’s even decent in snow

[@niksatt4843]

Bro anything not 4 wheel drive can't handle snow. I lost IQ points reading your dumbass comment Jesus wept

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

I don’t think your lights are flashing there bub. The specs you gave are incorrect

[@georgewilson1184]

Funny you say formula one because it is a formula Firebird

[@bordfronco]

I have the black t/a package convertible model

[@sergiog8972]

I have a care model of that😎

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

Of this? What size?

[@johnconway8975]

It's first to 3rd damnit.. c'mon people

[@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285]

Or second to fourth depends on what driving your doing

[@subeyguy66]

No, it's 1st to 4th when the lockout engages. 1st to 3rd doesn't make any sense.

[@tonytynes3891]

Of course it's 1st to 4th! Seems to me there's not much product knowledge on this site, starting with Bill.

[@renaissanceman5847]

not original front to back the tail pipes are aftermarket... as is the intake.

[@JeffsWorld1]

I own this car and absolutely love it. Check it out in my KZbin channel.✌️

[@angelaperezaleman8951]

Localization

[@44yamx70]

I dont get why Americans like cars Like These. You would get laughed at if you was In the uk driving that.

[@WestCoastDon448]

Oh yeah, you'd get laughed at for having those British teeth in America too

[@brianholmes6626]

They are just as common there as they are here lol they look pretty much the same to except the tail lights were required to have amber turn signals

[@44yamx70]

@@brianholmes6626 There really not you actually see nice cars in the uk, 90% off the cars America’s drive are just big boats that’s are slow af 😂 I’m not even trying to over exaggerate. And trust me they are not common in the uk thank god. You’ll very really see them around.
