This very cool black Formula is owned
by Daniel Chamness. He picked it up for the low price of $2,500 with only 34,000 miles
showing on the odometer. After purchase he drove it for about a year without a single
problem until deciding to start working on improvements. Daniel writes: "My name is Daniel Chamness and this is my 1977 Firebird Formula. I am 16 years old and have had this car for 2 years. I live on a farm and have a very limited budget, so I don't get to put many accessories on my car. But having the car for 2 years, I was able to do many little projects and a couple large projects to make this car look and perform well. It has the W-72 performance package, which includes the T/A 6.6 litre engine. It came with the 4-speed and 3.23 gears. I was sick and tired of hearing about this hot Porsche 911 that was storming around town, so I HAD to do something about it. I put in a Comp Cams 270H cam, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, and summit headers. I guess I'm running 375-400 HP. It sure shut him up. I added Eagle alloy 028 series wheels on it. 7" on front, and 10" on back. I hope to one day get around to put in the Ford 9-inch that I got laying around and put in 4.11 gears. If anybody knows how many '77 Formulas were made with the W-72 perf. package, please send me an email." E-mail: Daniel Chamness |

This Formula is spectacular. With the popularity following the Trans Ams
maintain its not very often you come across a vintage 2nd Gen Formula like
this one. Kelby Dickey owns this one and here's what he had to say: "This is my '77 Formula Firebird. It has a 301ci engine. In '96 it was given a new paint job and I am currently working on the interior. I have never been able to find the lower door panels and that is really bothering me since the upper door panels are easy to find." Thanks, Kelby E-mail: Kelby |
