Buccaneer Red 1974 GTO, rear end view. This one is a notchback.CLICK-> 
Buccaneer Red 1974 GTO, interior view. It has a bench seat with a floor shifted manual transmission. Judging from the shift pattern on the knob, this is the Saginaw M11 3-speed manual which is the standard transmission offered on the 1974 GTO. A 4-speed manual and 3-speed automatic were the optional transmissions.CLICK->

This is the data plate for this Buccaneer Red 1974 GTO. It's on the firewall under the hood. Let's decode it! 74 is the model year of 1974. 2 is for Pontiac. XY is for the standard Ventura and GTO, which is different from what the VIN states. The VIN has a 'Z' in it which indicates a Ventura Custom. The emblems behind the rear side windows say 'Custom'. Hummm. I wonder why this data plate appears to have phillips screws? Come to think of it, I've seen other '74 cars like this. If you know of these strange "phillip's rivets", please leave a comment in the "comments" section, below. Let's continue to decode. The 27 is for the coupe notchback. The L is for the Van Nuys, California assembly plant. The 114177 is the sequential body number out of that assembly plant. Second line. The 542 is for the white seats. The B might have to do with the green or optional red stitching. The A52 is for bench seats. 75 and 75 is for Buccaneer Red paint top and bottom.CLICK-> 
This is a Crestwood Brown 1974 GTO. It has a Sandalwood colored interior.CLICK-> 
Red 1974 GTO owned by George Sawatzky from Windsor Ontario, Canada. George tells us, "I got the car about a year and a half ago in the summer. That winter, we had it restored. This winter we are going to put an electronic ignition in it and a Holley carb. We're also going to give it another coat of clear coat and paint the interior to match the seat covers."CLICK->

Who poked out the eyes? Restoration was started then halted on this Fernmist Green 1974 GTO. I can show you what one of these would look like if restored. There was a Fernmist Green GTO at the Nats one year. Here it is found with the Advanced Picture Searcher loaded with color=Fernmist Green and owner=BobCLICK-> 
This is an interesting view. The entire lower rear fender has been cut out. The door has been replaced with one from a red car. The interior is lying on the ground.CLICK-> 
The interior has been completely stripped out. Pop quiz. Is this an automatic or manual? Hint - look at the brake pedal.CLICK-> 
Red 1974 GTO owned by Dennis Homsey. Dennis tells us, "I got this on eBay 10-15-05 for $5,600. I always wanted the 74 hatchback because of its looks and rarity. I know nothing about engines but this thing is a beast! The seller spent $9,500 in the motor and transmission alone. It has 28x10.5 x 15 Drag radials in the back and skinnies up front. The seller also gave me brand new regular tires for the front, an extra axle, Pontiac emblems, and a lot of other engine stuff. The car runs 7.90 in 8th mile short shifting."CLICK-> 
The interior in Dennis' red 1974 GTO is mostly red with white trim around the seats.PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ... |
