1976 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 W50 – Rare Black & Gold Special Edition | Matching Numbers Engine

For sale is an extremely rare and iconic 1976 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 W50 Special Edition, finished in the legendary black with gold accents—a color scheme made famous by the “Bandit” Trans Am, yet even rarer and more exclusive in Formula trim. This car is a true matching-numbers example, retaining its original 400 ci (6.6L) YZ-code V8, automatic transmission, and all correct factory details.

With only 56,177 miles (approx. 90,400 km) on the odometer, this Formula 400 is in great condition and comes with a U.S. title. A Dutch registration can be arranged upon request.

The Vehicle

This 1976 Firebird is the real deal — not a clone or tribute. It’s an original W50 Formula 400 Special Edition, featuring the correct Formula hood, full factory gold striping, limited-slip differential, custom Rally dashboard with tachometer, and the powerful YZ-code 400 V8 with 4-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake. The engine sounds and performs exactly as a muscle car of this era should.

Finished in its factory-correct Black with Gold trim, the car sits on original Rally II wheels, wrapped in period-correct rubber. Inside, you'll find luxury black bucket seats, air conditioning, power windows, and a tilt steering column — all in good condition with the regular wear and tear to be expected from a low mileage 50-year-old classic.
