Vehicle Description
This 1974 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was the recipient of a
frame-off restoration and is powered by a rebuilt 455ci HO V8
engine backed by a factory 3-speed automatic transmission. This
example was born as one of 4,648 L75 455ci examples from the
factory for the model year, and all those came with an automatic
transmission. During the rebuilding of the engine, it was brought
up to Super Duty standards with new rings, new cam bearings, and
new crank and connecting rods. It has a full roller top end with a
timing chain, gears, Comp Cam roller lifters and push rods. It uses
Edelbrock Performer heads with roller rockers, an Edelbrock
Performer intake and Edelbrock 1406 4-barrel carburetor. It also
features a factory Shaker hood with "SD-455" script. The body was
carefully reassembled during the restoration and finished in its
factory Trans Am 75-code Buccaneer Red exterior. This car also has
the factory dual exhaust, factory Trans Am spoilers and disc brakes
mounted under factory-restored honeycomb-style wheels wrapped in
period-correct BFGoodrich radial T/As. The factory red interior is
equipped with power steering, power windows, factory buckets and
console, TA Rally tachometer and gauges and factory AM/FM/8-track
stereo. The original Data Tag and VIN are still intact, and the
sale includes the original owner's manuals, Pontiac Historical
Services (PHS) paperwork, factory jack and original spare with
factory bias-ply Polyglas GT tires. It has been driven 1,770 miles
since the build completion.
