Here for auction is an outstanding 1974 Pontiac Trans Am 455 with just 53,000 actual miles!

It is equipped with its original matching # 455 4 barrel engine, Turbo 400 automatic transmission and 3.08 posi-traction rearend. It  has power steering and power disc brakes. It also has an original factory console mounted 8 track player , however the radio has been upgraded to an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette stereo. This T/A was ordered as a true muscle car, no unnecessary frills like A/C or power windows. Under the hood is uncluttered wall to wall Pontiac power! The 74' 455 T/A was the last of a breed, with true dual exhaust,and the stump pulling 067 camshaft. This particular 74' T/A has the rare feature of factory installed HEI ignition. I want to stress that this is how this car was built, and not an ignition "swap".  1975 was the first full year of GM's new High Energy Ignition or HEI in all V-8's. However Pontiac began installing the HEI in its V-8's built from May of 74' on. This car was built in May of 74'. One of the last 74' T/As produced! 1975 was a big letdown for true performance enthusiasts.

This is a solid rust-free car including floors and trunk pan. It was recently professionally refinished in the original color, Buccaneer red, with PPG urethane. This car is straight and smooth! Panel alignment is awesome. The doors close smooth and with ease. The color really "pops"! The car draws a crowd wherever I drive it.

The black interior is near perfect with minimal wear for a nearly 40 year old car. No rips ,tears, splits. No unusual odors. The dashboard is perfect, no cracks. Instrument panel is also near perfect, all gauges work properly. Carpet is clean, rear package shelf is nice.

Mechanically this T/A is strong and tight. The 455 fires right up and has the traditional Pontiac rumble of authority through its factory duals. This is not a Super Duty , but it is the next best thing, at a fraction of the price! The  turbo 400 shifts crisp. this car runs and drives fantastic and will light the tires at will! There are no visible fluid leaks. you can drive this car anywhere with complete confidence.

The following parts were recently replaced;

New radiator ,hoses and thermostat

Fresh antifreeze

New battery and cables

Rebuilt starter

Correct original Rochester Quadra-jet carb professionally rebuilt
