OriginalNumbers Matching 400/4 barrel/dual exhaust
These are some of my favorite cars from this era. I especially like the remodeled for 1974front and rear but carries over the ram hood scoops. This example is nice in the pictures, but inperson is even better. What makes thisexample so nice so much of the sheet metal on this is untouched. This is a rust free example, purchased out ofCalifornia last year, and the underside is a clean, though not refreshed, rustfree example. Under the hood, you willfind the Pontiac 400 with the 4 barrel carb.Originally a dual exhaust and this one is as well. This combination is rare, and the engine isthe one it was born with in 1974.
There is nothing major to fault on this Firebird, itis in excellent condition overall.Interior is clean and in great condition. All gauges work, but clock is notworking. Don’t ask me if the stereoworks, as that was not important to me, as the exhaust tone is just magicalIMO, but it is upgraded and newer rear speakers. The air even works on this car.
I would call this a top quality driver and local showcar. Something you would enjoy drivingto the dairy bar on a Friday night, or running up the road on Sunday morning ata good clip. The added 17in Honeycombwheels and new tires set this off yet give you plenty of holding for the canyonroads.
The EXTERIOR of the car is in very goodcondition. There is no rust, dents,dings, major scratches, and virtually blemish free for the age. Most of the body panels appear to be originalto the car. It has been repainted atsome time in its life, which is in good shape overall. Doors hang well and close as they should, butyou have to close with effort. Theredoes not appear to be body filler on this car, all the panels feel allsteel. Stainless is good, but to be evenbetter after an afternoon of polish.There is a scuff on the driver side front bumper under the black bumperstrip and a small crack starting to develop on the nose that is under 1/2in atthis point. Nothing else to fault on theexterior of the car.
Underneath the car is clean and rust free, but not inrestored condition. Meaning, it is ingreat original condition. Pans appear tobe original, as well as trunk, frame rails, rear trunk sill plate. All are excellent. I have pictures of the underside, but it’sbetter in person. In addition, new frontbrakes and ball joints up front. Rearhas air shocks, so you can adjust ride height up or down to your taste level.
The INTERIOR of the car is in GOOD condition. Seats are free of tears and are plush. Headliner has been replaced but looks verygood. Gauges work, but clock does notwork. Only real nit pic on the interioris the seatbelts are original and faded.I did not get around to replacing those, so new owner can decide whichroute they would want to go with it. Thereis nothing to fault with the interior.
The mechanicals are in VERY GOOD condition. It starts right up, drives straight, iscomfortable. Will drip a drop of oilafter use, but I haven’t owned an old car that didn’t do this, so I would callit a non-issue. Does not smoke at startup or while driving. Power steeringworks, A/C works, etc. It fires right upevery time, tracks straight down the road, stops like it should. I would call it ready to go. I have not had any issues with it whendriving it.
Overall, this 1974 Formula would make a nice additionto any garage. Title is in hand andready for the new owner. It should go without saying, but even though there is nothing wrong with the car, it is sold as-is where-is with any and all faults known or unknown. $100 deposit within 48hrs, balance in cash in person, cashiers check (must give 7 business days to clear), bank to bank wire transfer.
