Here is a close-up of that in-dash tach. It has a 4500rpm red line. The fuel gauge normally goes here. The fuel guage is located on the console within the Rally Gauge cluster. Is that actual miles? I never could understand why GM was so brain-dead when designing the odometer. Why didn't they just include 1 extra digit to indicate hundreds of thousands of miles? This factory omission causes endless debates on cars, messes up car sales, causes mis-reporting and bogus sales on used cars. I'm sure they had enough room for one extra digit on the odometers.CLICK-> 
This is the data plate for this Pinemist Green 1974 GTO. Let's decode it. First Line: The 74 is for the 1974 model year. 2 is for Pontiac as the manufacturer. XY is for the Ventura and GTO models. 27 is for the two-door coupe. L is for the Van Nuys, California assembly plant. 182947 is the sequential body coming off that line. Second Line: 542 is for the white seats. Not sure what the B is for. The A51 is for the Bench seats. 49 49 is for the Pinemist Green paint on the bottom and roof of the car.CLICK-> 
  
Take a look at this purple 1974 GTO. It is jacked way up in the rear with Cragars all the way around.CLICK-> 
This purple car has a shaker hood scoop. The front end is a bit messed up here.CLICK-> 
Inside we have bucket seats, a console, and what looks to be an automatic transmission conversion. See how the clutch is tied way back against the floorboard? Examining the door jambs, the car must have been originally red or burgundy.CLICK-> 
This one has a huge carb on the engine and lots of wire braided hoses. The block is red - and the alternator is on the wrong side. Is it a Cheby?CLICK-> 
This 1974 GTO coupe is sitting in the Pull-A-Part in Atlanta, Georgia as of summer 2007. It is a 4-speed coupe (one of 2,487 built). This car was sacrificed to help keep other GTOs on the road. There are still salvageable parts such as the glass, but is basically just an empty shell. This one will be going to the crusher.CLICK-> 
Another shot of that picked apart 1974 GTO. Look at dat fine gravel.CLICK-> 
Here is a shot down the driver's side. CLICK-> 
So that's where I left my sleeping bag.CLICK-> 
That's some door panel mold. If you have allergies, stay away from that stuff. At least don't put your tongue on it or breathe it. And don't eat mushrooms that grow on carpeting. Ugh! The dangers of toxic mold are that they can cause serious health ailments but are hard to detect. A microbiologist can only determine differences between just mold and toxic mold. Common symptoms of toxic mold exposure include memory loss, allergies, and breathing difficulties. People with existing respiratory illness, asthma, and infants should be especially careful because of the fever and mold infections that can be suffered within their lungs due to toxic mold exposure.CLICK-> 
Raise your hand if you ever seen one of these! This is a 1974 LeMans GT! I've never seen one of these, not to mention the "Unique" stripe scheme. It is owned by Bob Murphy from Long Island, New York. Bob says that it is all original with a 350ci 4 barrel, 4-speed manual transmission, one repaint, and only 51K miles on the clock. Yes, it's parked next to Unique Autosports.CLICK-> 
On this website at UltimateGTO.com, you can see photos of thousands of cars. Other websites have that too. But this is the website that shows a nice photo caption with details about the specific mods that have been done to a car. The owners supply not only the photos, but the information that makes the photos worth looking at. Here is a Black Cherry 1974 GTO owned by Scott Mezzapeso from Youngstown, Ohio. Scott tells us, "I have had the car about four years. This past summer [2007] was the first it was on the road and registered since 1989. It spent the years from 1989 till 2004 in a pole barn covered in bird poo. It is a 4-speed with the original motor. This car has new stainless brake and fuel lines from Inline Tube, chrome Rally II wheels from Wheel Vintiques, new front springs and rear leaf springs along with all new brake parts from
Tamraz, plugs, wires, hoses, radiator, Holley carb and misc. under hood
parts. I also had custom headers made."CLICK->
