Another shot of the engine in Dennis' red 1974 GTO. In the lower right you can see a black bracket. I suspect this is used to keep the engine from "breaking loose" during hard acceleration.CLICK->

Here is what the 1974 Owner's Manual and Operating Instructions looks like. Dennis adds, "I had problems starting the 74 GTO Ventura Custom. Here's the reason. The car came with a front seating weight detector. It would not start unless seatbelts were fastened. Also the passenger side must have items stowed elsewhere otherwise weight detector would stop car from starting."CLICK->

Robert Paouncic is in the process of restoring his 1974 GTO. He is painting it Gulfmist Aqua. Robert adds, "I got this car four years ago [2002] for $1000. I did a frame off rotisserie restoration. It has the orignal engine-transmission-rear end. Every number matches on this car. The only thing I don't like is the column shift. I hope to have it ready for spring of 2007 for cruising."CLICK->
Robert has the top and inside edges all painted in Gulfmist Aqua. The prep work looks real neat. I'd like to have THIS guy paint my car.CLICK->
The engine compartment looks great!PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ... |
