Details

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.
