My 'new' Pontiac
I just bought an interesting Grand Am, a 74 400 4bbl, 4spd, 4dr!! It is coming from El Paso, TX and comes with all documents including the written order sheet and window sticker.
And if a 4dr 4spd isn't unusual enough, this one is Limefire Green, green interior, honeycombs, cornering lights, tilt, AM radio, H/D air cleaner and radiator and NO A/C. The nose is crumbling, but is an original. The right quarter and rear door have been repainted, but there is no rust since it has been an AZ/NM car since new. It was ordered new by a Lt Col. Can't wait to get it here. Here's a few pics I have, I'll post more when I can take them myself.. Dave

With a New nose, dash pad, and some paint it will be excellent.

I like the car but I wonder why no A/C if the car is an AZ/NM car. It gets really hot there , you think A/C would be the first thing checked on the order boxs.

That was the same color that my '74 was originally. Damn, that sure would look nice sitting in my garage next to my Grand Am. Kind of a dream car for me, a 4 door 4 speed...and looks to be in great condition!
Congrats on a cool find....let me know when you get tired of it!

Limefire is a great color. Please tell us you'd repaint in the original color... unless you're already tired of owning it.

Thanks guys. I've been known to get tired of a car quickly sometimes, but never one I haven't got yet, LoL. Honestly, it is a bit of an experiment for me....I've always loved driving a manual trans, but with the lower back issues I've had much of my life (which have worsened as I've aged), I last had an m/t in 2006. So there is the chance I won't be able to drive it without pain.
This is only the 2nd 74 4dr 4spd I have seen, the other one was Silver with a Red int and had A/C. Yes, I will be keeping it the original color (if I own it that long, LoL). muscle_collector, please do give me more info on the 73 4dr 4spd, I like both 73s and 74s. Fake Goat, I'll keep you in mind if I ever decide to sell. Dave

A third '74 4 door 4 speed was the donor car for the Ascot Silver SD-455 1973 GTO.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
