Seems like a pretty reasonable price too.

Very Nice one.

Even nicer 75 455, 4 spd, non-AC car. Wow. That's almost perfect.

Very nice, neat car. I thought pricey.

I don't know. Those are both low miles, numbers matching cars that are nearly true survivors. And the 455 car is pretty rare.

The 1975 have for a VERY long time been the low value point for second gen Trans Am's.

Prices of second gen cars have been getting nutty, and Volo is not going to buck that trend, but I'd be hard pressed to see a 1975 Firebird ever getting $67k.

I have always preferred the 74 then 75, followed by 1976 before the 77/78... and lastly the 79-81;
But my preferences seldom are reflective of the market - I believe that you can get a 74 every day of the week cheaper than a 77, all because of that movie

I think that the value low-point for 1975 Firebirds could be pointed to that they were on paper at least, the most gutless of the whole second gen run;
They were the first year for catalytic converters;
They just had another compression drop, so that the real compression was now 7.6:1 across the board...
And except for those handful ordered at the tail end of the year, the best you could get was a 400/4bbl motor rated at a whopping 185hp - that was on paper a 130hp drop from the 1970 entry level 350-2bbl, and was equal to the 1973-400/2bbl rating.

For 1976, styling became a little more streamlined (the 5mph bumpers were now better concealed), and the 455 was a full year regular production engine;
Then for 1977 PMD breathed on the 400 a bit to ring some power back...

I like the 74/75 look, but prefer the square back glass and the 1974 signal light arrangement.

It's a 400 auto.

Love the car but 30-40 max I think.

Like you, I prefer the 74-76 look (76 is my least favorite because of the bumper fascia) over the 77 and up. The contoured hood, the more rounded shaker and the front end look much better to me. And yes, I also prefer the square rear glass. The horsepower thing is easy to fix, and I would do that with whatever year car, wouldn't matter. I would keep it all stock looking though, like I did with my motor.

The 76 is gorgeous imho but the 74 is special to me as the "last musclecar" - if I was smart I would have bought a 75 and saved a lot of green however....these two are divine

there are a couple 1975 "455-HO" cars in town;
This one showed up at a KMS S&S this past year:
