It’s Wednesday. One of my readers sent in a photo of his 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula and wondered why he doesn’t see many others like his. I’ve seen many Firebirds throughout the years, but the early 70s Firebird Formula’s are definitely harder to find. There were a total of 53,125 Firebirds made in 1971 but I was unable to find out how many of those were the Firebird Formula model. The Firebird Formula was just one of four models available in ’71. There was the Firebird Base, Firebird Esprit, Firebird Formula, and the Firebird Trans-Am. So with only 53,125 Firebirds originally produced in ’71, and split up over four models, and then God knows how many survive to this day, I’d say yes, it’s a rare bird. Thanks for taking the time to send it in, Dave!

Hi Keep, I have been a fan of your site since just about the beginning , I found you when you visited a Canadian site in I believe Victoria B.C. I think he was working for an airline and you visited his site and said to him hey check out my site and you listed it there and that’s when I discovered your site. I have shared it with many of my friends and they all are regular visitors . Two things I just want to say thank you for all your work on here and all of the cars you have pictured, but for some reason in all these years I have never once seen a car like mine in any of the car shows that you have been to. The years 1970-1973 Firebird, are they a rare car or did people just not like them? Anyway was curious. And thanks again. -Dave
