For sale is my 2002 SOM Pontiac Formula. The car is a 6 speed with cloth interior, T top, Monsoon CD Player and no traction control. It currently has about 96k miles. I purchased the car last year from the original owner (she ordered it from a Pontiac dealer right outside Boston). When I received the car it was bone stock with the only add on as an XM Radio player. As it sits now I have added a few bolt on mods. It has the MGW shifter with the Mustang shift ****, Kooks 1 7/8’’ LTs with their True Dual system (no cats, dual/dual tips), SLP Lid (stock paper air filter), and a Founders adjustable Panhard Bar and relocation kit (these were purchased to make room for the duals and also with the wheels I wanted to put on the car). I also recently had Frost tune the PCM. The car has been driven daily for the past few weeks (weather was nasty around here up until the beginning of April) and was garage kept during winters. During the header install we had a manifold bolt snap which required a head to be pulled or to pull the engine, we absolutely could NOT get a welder on the broken stud. We dropped the engine out the bottom. When the engine was out we flushed the fluids, cleaned things up, deleted the AIR system, and also cleaned up some of the brake lines (had some surface rust).
As the car sits, the paint is gorgeous (what did you expect, it is SOM), however there are two trouble spots. There is a little bubble right in the nose of the hood and the clear on the spoiler is peeling just a bit. I would say the paint is 8/10 and the interior is 9/10 (no qualms with the interior, other than the cloth seats just aren’t too appealing, but keep reading I can solve that problem for you).
I also have a set of 6LE black leather seats with orange stitching (had the stitching dyed to match the car) and the seat brackets for the Fbody cars. I do have a set of the chrome C5 DD wheels (17/18 deep dish combo) sitting in my garage with brand new Continental tires. Both the seats and wheels/tires are not yet installed and waiting for the buyer of the car or if someone wants just the car I will sell those separately.
As you can see I purchased the absolute best for this car and had plans for cam/heads and wanted that reliable, low 12 second daily driver car. I have to move closer to (or into) the city and cannot take this car with me, I have to take my daily driver with me instead.
I am looking for $9100 with the mods installed and we could negotiate on the additional mods (Seats and the wheels/tire combo). I think the car alone is worth $7600-8200 and with the $2,300+ in exhaust mods alone, the price is very fair. Car is located in Southern, Maine (Kittery). I am about 45 Minutes north of Boston and maybe 40 minutes South of Portland, Maine. Car drives like stock (except of course the power and volume increase). I promise that if you haven’t heard a true dual setup on this engine before, you will never want a single exhaust setup again. I have tons of ground clearance and have never scraped or hit anything with the exhaust and no matter what I do with the car, you cannot lose power with this exhaust.
You can reply or PM here, but I would prefer a phone call. Someone who is truly interested can give me a ring during normal hours (9am-10pm) or a text to get things started. I may not pickup as I work quite a bit, but I will get back to you. My phone number is: 207- six four one – 5441. I had the car up for sale on Craiglist, but just had a bunch of idiots who wanted to hear the exhaust and throw out figures like $5,000 for the car.
I will post more pics in a bit and hope to have some videos of the car up on Youtube for everyone to see by the end of the day.

 

Pictures and Videos of the trual dual exhaust (with the dual/dual tips) will be coming soon!

Anything else you want to see...let me know.

**Forgot to add** I have a CLEAN title in hand. Cash only, no trades.

Hoping to find someone to hold my phone and let me start it during the day and maybe a driveby.

 

Bump. Open to offers...especially if someone wants the car, wheels/tires, and seats.

 

I'll be down in Mass this weekend if someone wants to see the car.

Also, car is pending local sale.

 

Memorial weekend bump..... $8700

 

Maybe you should try taking differnent pictures. The ones you posted makes the paint look oxidized.

Just trying to help out. Good luck with sale.

 

If you were local and i had never bought my car this thing would've BEEN sold. GL man, thats a beautiful formula.

 

Jesus! You're right....that pic was like 6am and the car had some nice dew on it....my phone didn't capture that at all, it does look faded. I promise the paint is nice and shiny, I'll get some more pics up!

good god dont budge on the price its perfectly priced...no doubt. maby you could psot pics of the seats and pics of the car with the other wheels on it? GLWS

 

The seats and wheels/tires are NEW IN BOX. I took them out, drooled on them, and put them back.

How has no one bought this car???

Kooks true duals, founders rear suspension, SOM, and it is a 6 speed!! For $1,000 you could have a WS6 or other hood painted and installed....car would be insane (and what I may do if it doesnt sell).

Did I mention the MGW shifter with the $80 mustang ****, and a Frost tune??

AIR was deleted as well. AC may need a re-charge, isn't too cold.

 

Have any pictures of the interior? Engine bay?

 

If you're interested, get in touch and I can get pics/vids of anything you need.

Clean Maine Title in hand!

 

Great looking car, I love my SOM. Great price and GLWS.
