Offered by Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is this wicked 1974
Pontiac Trans Am restomod - a second-gen F-body that blends iconic
Trans Am looks with modern LS power, pro-touring suspension, and a
custom interior that's all business. Finished in a brilliant
custom-mix Red with bold hood bird graphics, this car looks every
bit as serious as it drives.
Drivetrain & Performance
Under the shaker-style hood lives a 350 HP LS1 fuel-injected V8,
giving this '74 the reliability and punch of a modern powerplant
with that unmistakable Trans Am attitude. The engine bay is clean
and purpose-built:
Coated headers feed a free-flowing dual exhaust system with Turbo
mufflers, delivering a deep, aggressive tone without being
obnoxious.
A polished aluminum radiator and electric fan keep temps in check,
even in traffic or spirited driving.
The LS1 is backed by a 4L60 4-speed automatic overdrive
transmission, making highway cruising comfortable while still
responding quickly when you dip into the throttle.
Out back, a heavy-duty Moser Positraction rear axle puts the power
to the pavement and is built to handle the extra horsepower and
grip from the modern suspension and tire package.
Suspension, Steering & Brakes
This Trans Am is far more than a cosmetic build - the chassis has
been upgraded front to rear:
Tubular front upper and lower control arms paired with front
coilovers sharpen steering response and allow precise ride-height
tuning.
The rear features a coilover suspension as well, giving the car a
true four-corner coilover setup for modern handling and improved
ride quality.
Power steering makes low-speed maneuvering easy while still giving
good feedback at speed.
Stopping power comes from 4-wheel power disc brakes, with large
drilled/slotted rotors and red multi-piston calipers visible behind
the wheels - a serious upgrade over stock T/A hardware.
The undercarriage photos show clean, painted components and neatly
routed exhaust, confirming this is a properly thought-out
pro-touring style build, not just a quick cosmetic swap.
Exterior
From any angle, this car has presence. The body wears a high-gloss
custom Red paint that highlights the muscular second-gen Trans Am
lines. The finish has great depth and shine, complemented by black
and gold graphics:
Trans Am style hood with functional scoop and a large "Screaming
Chicken" hood bird that instantly identifies it as a T/A.
Trans Am style wheel fairings/flares and front air dam give the car
the classic wide, planted stance enthusiasts love.
Modern black multi-spoke wheels with polished lips are wrapped in
Continental performance radials, filling the wheel wells just right
and adding to the aggressive look.
The overall effect is a car that looks like a classic T/A at first
glance but clearly reveals its modern, purpose-built character the
closer you get.
Interior
The interior is a custom environment built for spirited driving and
shows:
Recaro-style bucket seats with plaid inserts and RJS racing
harnesses, keeping driver and passenger firmly planted.
A custom red and black color scheme flows from the door panels
through the center console and rear shelf, tying the cabin visually
to the exterior.
The stock gauge cluster has been re-imagined with AutoMeter Phantom
white-face gauges for RPM, speed, and key engine vitals, giving a
race-car look and easy readability.
A billet steering wheel with carbon-look rim provides a modern,
performance feel in your hands.
A custom center console houses a B&M-style shifter, cupholders,
and controls, while a rear-seat delete with integrated roll bar
underscores the car's pro-touring/intended track-day
personality.
The result is a cockpit that feels tight, focused, and far more
contemporary than a factory '74, yet still unmistakably Trans
Am.
Fuel System & Rear Details
At the back, the car features a quick-fill rear fuel tank, giving
it a purposeful, race-inspired look and adding practicality at the
track or fuel stop. The underside photos highlight the Moser rear
end with a finned aluminum cover and the neatly routed dual exhaust
system.
Documentation
Included with the car is a collection of receipts, parts
documentation, and installation literature for many of the upgrades
- from suspension and brake components to engine and accessory
items. This paperwork helps validate the quality of the build and
gives the next owner a clear look at what went into creating this
Trans Am.

Delivers modern LS power and overdrive,
Rides on full coilover suspension with tubular front control
arms,

and
Still looks every bit the part with its custom Red paint, hood
bird, and T/A flares,
