1974 Pontiac Trans Am Super Duty Description

This Beautiful 1974 455 Trans am was originally ordered and sold at Dave Ross Pontiac in Costa Mesa, California. Where the original owner had Dave Ross Pontiac install a factory SUPER DUTY package to the vehicle. Hence the "Y" in the VIN #. The car was sold in 1976 to a man that owned the car until 2014 where it sold at Barrett Jackson in 2014. Car comes with a ton of receipts and paper work DOCUMENTING the 44,000 miles that the odometer read at the time. I purchased this car in 2017 where it sat in a public storage garage with 44,900 miles.
The car drives like BRAND NEW! There are no creaks, rattles or noises. The car handles amazing, shifts like new, starts every time with a bump of the ignition, idle sounds crisp and deep, runs flawlessly. A/C blows nice and cold. Does not leak fluids.Car is original!!Low mileage!!NO RUST!!Paint has some rock chips to be expected with a un restored car of this age.

Engine
The Super Duty 455 was the result of the accumulation of knowledge gained from years of racing, applied to the street. Its 290hp made it the fastest muscle car of its time, an instant legend, and a desirable collector car today.Brakes
Unlike the engine, the SD-455's brakes were standard-issue, power-assisted 11.0-inch front discs and finned 9.5-inch rear drums, just like every other Firebird made in the era; aftermarket upgrades include a rear disc conversion kit.Transmission
With its massive torque, the SD-455 was well mated to either the three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 automatic transmission or the wide-ratio four-speed manual; if you wanted A/C, you had to opt for the automatic transmission.Interior
Trans Am offered more interior equipment standard, like a tachometer and gauge cluster set in an aluminum panel; the Firebird could be optioned like the T/A, except that it had a "simulated Crossfire African mahogany" panel in place of the T/A's aluminum.Chassis
The Trans Am and the Firebird Formula (when equipped with the optional handling package) set the benchmark for muscle cars that handled, with fat anti-roll bars front and rear and beefier shocks and springs, along with wider tires.Body
While many collectors prefer the lower-volume 1973 SD-455s with the one-piece Endura nose and chrome rear bumper, the 1974 models still cut a pretty mean profile; rear spoiler was standard kit on the T/A but optional on the Firebird.
