The rear suspension was rebuilt with new leaf springs and urethane
bushings everywhere including the anti-sway bar. Additional
reinforcements include subframe connectors, traction bars and
urethane body-to-frame mounts. Hmm, wonder if the owner did all this paint work himself? The color of the jack stands does match the underside of the car!

Here's a new shot. It's the headliner in this 1974 GTO. It's got a light in the center of it.

Dark green 1974 GTO owned by Tom Corbin. Tom had this to say, "I got this car (Jan 2002) for $3000. It was restored and
drove for a year. The owner's friend died and he parked it. It sat for ten years. The only things I did to it was exhaust, back tires, front brakes, and of course, remove some rust. Love my new car."

Dark green 1974 GTO, front end view. This web site has more pictures of 1974 GTO's on it than any other. The shaker scoops on the 1974 cars were a different twist. That is my favorite feature of the 1974 cars. I also like the horizontal tail lights which were reminiscent of the older models. I also used to drive a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird that had the attractive horizontal tail light treatment as well.

Dark green 1974 GTO, engine view. You can see what a Shaker hood scoop looks like with the hood up. This car has power brakes, air conditioning, and all that good stuff like power steering.

Coy Higginbotham from Elwood, Kansas is restoring this 1974 GTO. It's going to be red with a 6.6 liter T/A 400 engine. It has a factory 4-speed manual transmission, tach and console gauges. A red GTO powered by a Trans Am? You can bet it will Rock and Roll down the road.

Left front view of Coy's project. The front bumper is yet to be seen.

A little more red paint and a little more assembly and Coy will have it complete.

Black 1974 GTO hatchback found for sale in Seymour, Connecticut.

Black 1974 GTO, left rear view. Here you can see the hatchback door seam. And there are the horizontal tail lights I was discussing earlier. They are a clean, simple design, that looks like something a car customizer would make. But the factory did that.

Black 1974 GTO, engine view. This one has lots of modifications: MSD ignition, double oil filter, Edelbrock carburetor, Edelbrock headers, 3-speed transmission with an Indy Hurst floor mounted shift kit, GT steering wheel, digital speedometer, and Radial GT Road Hugger tires with Progressive custom rims.

Gray 1974 GTO owned by Henry of Amery, Wisconsin. The car has a 3-speed manual transmission and a 350 cubic inch engine. The engine has a street & strip cam, Torker II intake, Hooker headers, with forged flat top pistons. Henry has this for sale.

This black 1974 LeMans is owned by Gregory Wise from Mount Prospect, Illinois. Here's what Greg had to say, "This is the first car I ever owned. I bought it 23 years ago (1979) and I have restored it twice in my garage. Each restoration was a little more complete than the last but its hard to find parts for this car. Recently, the engine was rebuilt and the 455 now puts out 551 HP and 579 ft/lbs of torque. Quarter mile times are in the mid 12s and with slicks I hope to hit a high 11. This is a great car to cruise the streets. This car came with a 4.11 rear end, turbo 400 transmision, moon roof, louvered windows, 455 engine and the hood scoops. All this from the factory. It's a shame that they don't build these cars any more!"
This car has the NACA hood scoops. NACA was the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which in 1958 became NASA. Does anyone know how Pontiac referred to these scoops in their literature? Did they call them NACA or NASA in print?
