The twin of the Chevrolet Camaro, the Pontiac Firebird was renowned
for its sleek design and muscular performance. With its distinctive
styling, iconic split grille, and bold presence on the road, the
Firebird captured the essence of the golden age of muscle cars in
the 1960s and 1970s. This 1974 Firebird Formula is no different,
with its eye-catching dual snorkel hood and numbers-matching
drivetrain to boot. Popping open the hood reveals an original,
massive 400 C.I. Pontiac V8 breathing through a 4-barrel
carburetor, a combination that delivers adrenaline-pumping thrills
every time you press the throttle. Torque is stomped into the
pavement through an equally original 3-speed automatic
transmission, which shifts smoothly and seamlessly as this Firebird
screams down the road. The exterior's laser-straight bodylines and
bulging hood intakes are covered in a fantastic shade of correct
64-code "Ascot Silver Metallic" paint, which has a beautiful shine
in the sun. That silver paint is contrasted wonderfully by black
grille and trim accenting, which help this '74 Formula to really
stick apart from the crowd. The undercarriage of this Firebird is
both straight and rock-solid, with firm floors, frame rails, trunk,
and door jambs. Opening the doors and stepping inside welcomes you
to a gorgeous black vinyl interior, with comfy patterned bucket
seats, contrasting red seatbelts, and attractive "fish-eye" brushed
aluminum dashboard trim to top it all off. Other options on this
mean '74 Firebird include power steering, power 4-wheel disc
brakes, the factory gauges & tachometer, Vintage Air A/C, a carbon
fiber rear spoiler, carbon fiber exhaust tip coverings, an
aftermarket AM/FM digital radio, dual sport mirrors, and a
mean-sounding dual exhaust system. The car is shoed with an
attractive set of 17" "Snowflake" wheels wrapped with blackwall
tires for an aggressive appearance that's sure to turn heads! Rest
assured, this '74 Firebird both runs and drives great and is ready
to jump in and enjoy at the push of a pedal. It's not going to be
on the showroom for long with its attractive color combination and
numbers-matching drivetrain, so don't let it pass you by!
