Pinemist Green 1974 GTO, engine view. The valve covers have been changed. Factory ones are painted for this year, not chrome. This car has the original carb. CLICK->
Look at this. Another Pinemist Green 1974 GTO for your viewing pleasure. This car has never been restored. The paint and stripes are factory. The pinstripe accents are not factory. CLICK->

This car has it all on the inside. It has Rally Gauges on the console, an In-Dash Tach, and the Rally Clock. CLICK->
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.

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. PICTURE SET CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ...
