Here is a window sticker. Looks like an orignal one. Lots of options including the all important GTO option. The 1974 GTO option consisted of; 4bbl 350ci V8 engine, 3-speed manual floor shifted transmission, E70x14 black-wall fiberglass tires, sport mirrors, Rally II wheels without trim rings, dual exhaust, firm shocks, rear stabilizer bar, functional shaker hood scoop, GTO front styling, and GTO identification. The GTO option cost $398.60. Add another $200 for the upgrade from the 3-speed to a 4-speed transmission. Add $100 for power steering. Add $135 for the AM/FM radio. CLICK-> 
Ryan Blumenstein owns this Sunstorm Yellow 1974 GTO. Ryan tells us, I originally purchased this car about 15 years ago from the second owner who got it in 1975. I would love to restore it someday or find someone who would like one. It is a shame to let it sit and rot.CLICK->

Robert Paouncic is restoring this 1974 GTO. I see another one hiding in the background. Bob comments, "I just had the new vinyl top put on. A little more work and I'll be ready for paint and crusin in the Spring. This car has had a frame-off restoration, numbers matching engine and automatic transmission 3.08:1 posi rear end, bucket seats, bumper strips, factory AM radio, rubber mats, column shift. Anyone needing any tech advice can contact me as I have a vast knowledge of these cars as this is the 3rd one I've owned."CLICK-> 
Jerry Daize is restoring this 1974 Ventura notchback into a GTO clone. The paint color is a Mopar 1971 Sassy Green. Jerry describes his car, "It was a 6-cylinder 2-speed automatic manual steering, manual brakes, one wheel wonder. Now it has a 462 Pontiac, Borg-Warner 4-speed, 3.73 Posi, power steering and brakes, 7 inch booster from a '60 Buick, aluminum radiator, big block heater core relocation, and 3-inch exhaust from the headers back. I pushed the rear 72 bumper in 3 inches, as well as the front which is not back from the chrome shop. The cowl hood scoop mounted from underneath which is good. There is no bondo on the hood. I welded the cowl slotted section. Interior is being worked on now. I am now looking for the right wheels."CLICK->

Red 1974 GTO owned by Reggie Horning from Traverse City, Michigan. Reggie adds, "I bought my car in the Fall of 2004 and had it painted and running by the Spring of 2005. The motor and front end had been rebuilt when I bought the car. I installed a set of #62 heads and installed a Comp Cams into the stock 350, and she really ran great. Unfortunately, the rebuild was not all that good and the crankshaft broke destroying the numbers matching block. I have since built a 455 engine (450 HP 550 TQ)using those same heads and Pontiac Long Branch headers and a little stouter cam. I have made subtle Pontiac only mods to the car including, early style PMD center caps and black dot lug nuts, 1968 hood tach, 1969 wood steering wheel and shifter knob, and blacked out the rear tailight panel. The hood scoop is functional when you hit 3/4 throttle and plans are to update to 15-inch Rally wheels and drive her to some shows this summer."CLICK->
