Description

1973 Pontiac Formula 350 – Pontiac overhauled its intermediate lines this year, standardizing them on a 116-inch wheelbase. Federal regulations required a 5-mph impact bumper in front and 2.5-inch impact in the rear and it was accomplished with hydraulic bumper shocks, or in the Firebird’s case an Endura flexible nose. As a result, 1973 Firebirds looked much the same but the grille now had an egg-crate pattern and cold-air intakes were closed on Formula and Trans Am models. Firebird still offered four distinct lines – base hardtop, Esprit, Formula, and Trans Am, totaling 46,313 sales. Of those, 14,096 buyers opted for the Base Firebird but only 1,370 ordered a six-cylinder engine. 17,249 bought the Esprit, 10,123 chose the Formula, 43 bought the Formula SD-455, 4,550 chose the Trans Am, and 252 went for the Trans Am SD-455. Prices rose slightly, as base Firebirds began at $2895 ($3380 with V-8), Esprits at $3249, Formulas at $3276, and Trans Ams at $4204.
