Used 1974 Pontiac Firebird for sale in Mesa, AZ

Oh yes, this is a true 1974 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Super Duty, and it's numbers-matching, mega-power V8 is still under the hood. So while you'll be looking over every inch of this restored classic, you already know this red baron is muscle car royalty. Muscle car fans already know this is something special. Pontiac only got to sneak a few big power machines out the door for two short years, and as a result, there were only about 1,000 Super Duty Firebirds built in 1974. This rarity and desirability is also why they made sure to make proper investments in this restoration. The Buccaneer Red has a fantastic smooth and shiny appearance that further highlights the straightness of the sheetmetal. The impression is full-on aggressive when it's combined with the Trans Am's deep chin spoiler, shaker hood, air extractors on the front fenders, flared body kit, and a full-width spoiler. And that famous scramming hood bird makes for a terrific coordinating package as the orange flames match the Trans Am lettering on the car, and the black bird coordinates with the crisp black bumpers. This sporty look is finished off with those iconic honeycomb wheels. So you get a total package that will attract plenty of attention even if they don't hear this coupe growl. If you thought the exterior color was bold, then you'll love the coordinating interior. It's a true red-on-red car from the factory. While this is already a low mileage car (averaging less than 1,110 miles annually) you can tell that there was an investment in making sure that any major components that were not up to standard were correctly replaced. It shows quite well today as the bucket seats, door panels, carpeting, dash, and center console are very nice. Full instrumentation is a hallmark of these premium Trans Ams, including the tach/clock combination. The dials look great set in the iconic and aggressive machine-turned instrument panel. Ahead of that, the driver gets the three-spoke sports steering wheel that should be quite familiar to Pontiac fans. This feels like such a time capsule that the AM/FM stereo with separate 8-track player is still on display. But really, this SD's best soundtrack will always begin under the hood. The 455 cubic-inch V8 under the hood fills the engine bay with American muscle, and everyone gets drawn in by the shaker-style cover. But what will really bring the crowds is that you're looking at an original numbers-matching Super Duty 455 cubic-inch V8. These SDs were a seriously beefed-up package from Pontiac. There were other 455 motors on the books, but this one is a special competition-style package, right down to the castings. That's what makes these rare power juggernauts continually in-demand today. This original motor appears correct, right down to the extra-large Rochester four-barrel carburetor that lets this mighty machine inhale deeply. And as you look at the undercarriage photos, you're going to recognize a sweet upgrade that few people will see, but they'll surely hear. The Hooker long tube headers really allows this might motor unleash its power and fury. You'll love this package on the road, as a tip of the throttle will feel like diving into a well of bottomless torque. And keeping this under control is well in-hand thanks to the stout and original TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Plus, you have a limited-slip rear end, power brakes w/discs up front, and sway bars front & rear. Complete with Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) copies, registry info, and owner's manual, this is the ultra-rare and ultra-powerful Pontiac you've been waiting for. So when it's so nicely restored, you know you need to hurry if you want this in your garage. Call today!!!
