Vehicle Description
1974 Pontiac Trans Am
The sporty Firebird was Pontiac's answer to the Ford Mustang and
Chevrolet Camaro. The car combined an available big V8 with
aggressive, attention-grabbing styling and delivered it in a
relatively practical four-passenger package. Like its pony-car
competitors, the rear-wheel-drive Firebird offered tire-smoking
power and impressive acceleration. The F-body platform on which it
and the Camaro were based, was Pontiac's iconic speed machine.
What happens when we take the best year of the Trans Am, put a big
V8 engine in it, throw on a 4-barrel carburetor, back it up with a
Muncie M22 4-speed manual transmission, put a screaming chicken
logo on the hood, and bathe the car in White? You get a one owner,
numbers matching, original unrestored car with low mileage to boot!
Ordered new by the consignor and garaged all its life with all the
proper documentation to go along with it including original bill of
sale, order sheet and keys and key tabs. Even the decals are
original!
Exterior
With its original paint which presents in fair condition, with no
rust, just some fading, and numerous small scratches throughout,
you need to keep in mind we are speaking of an all original car. It
has straight panels, plastic wheel well flares, and a front and
rear spoiler setup. With its sleek sloping rear, front quarter air
intakes, and scooped hood, it's easy to see why this was THE year
Trans Am to have. Throw on a foursome of Rally 2 wheels, some
sticky Goodrich radial T/A's, a dual headlight setup within a split
front grille, and we are rockkin'. Also noted is the flaring are
slightly discolored form the body color, and black inset bumpers
have some scratching probably from encounters in parking lots. Last
but not least the original screaming chicken decal in blue two tone
spreads its wings around the scoop.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we are in black vinyl land. Buckets
upfront and a 2+2 bench tin the rear, they have good padding, and
the drivers bucket has a longitudinal tear in the seat area. A
center console races toward the dash, has a storage compartment
between the seats, and houses a T shaped Hurst shifter. Looking
toward the dash we see more black, but here it frames a spun
pattern aluminum panel which stretches across the drivers area, and
makes a home for the gauge cluster. Noted is the odometer which
consigner contains the original mileage of 48,665 miles. A factory
AM/FM radio is fitted nicely just under the dash. Looking down we
see good black carpet with rubber floor mats preserving it. This
car has air conditioning and a rear defogger installed. A last
shout out to the trunk which is covered with original patterned
vinyl, showing some soiling with original jack and space saver
spare tire.
Drivetrain
A pop of the hood and we are met with an unrestored original
matching numbers 400ci V8, with a 4-barrel carb atop, and a Muncie
M22 4-speed manual transmission. Overall a nice patina shows, but
remember it is original and numbers matching!
Undercarriage
As we would expect minor areas of surface rust, but all
structurally sound and obviously was kept in a dry location...Did I
mention a garaged its entire life?
Unrestored, an overall nice 1 owner, numbers matching, low mileage
car, a desired year, and plenty of power to boot...or put your boot
into!
