Thanks - just looked that up on Mecum’s site. Hammer price was $17,050. Actually some better photos on the Mecum site. Mostly original paint, unrestored car.

Would have been nice to have found the Pontiac build sheet instead of the Chevrolet one.

Wide Oval 60's look odd on a 74.

Nice Formula

My car came originally Ascot Silver

I’ve had it 19 years and still haven’t had it painted Back the original color.

Sone day , just not sure when.

So CMC has $ 18,755 in this plus shipping . Looking for a 5K payday....
It's a VERY nice car.. To Me all the good boxes got checked.
I would have to drive the car.. some at least..
Hope all is getting Better BJ :)

17050 includes the buyers 10 percent

Noticed it didn't match even though they showed it twice in the pics. :pound:

Not sure what happened, but the listing is no longer available?? Link now goes to a yellow 87 Firebird.

Looks like someone bought it for the $23,500 listing.

Nice car, but Ascot Silver is not a great color. They removed the RTS emblem on the glovebox door, and ran incorrect bias tires.

I see they fixed the paint problems on the rear bumper.

There's a live link.......on the upper left...of the 87 firebird auction...that will take you back to the 74 listing....

All things considered......I'd say that's the best detailed "survivor" 74 Firebird I've seen.....

Most others.....including the SD's....are over restored...or over detailed...

Whoever did the work on this really got it right.

Looks like the floorboards were washed...and clear coated....

The ebay buyer got a great deal....on a turnkey 74.......with all the right stuff...(other than a stick)...........and my hat is off to the seller......for picking it off at an auction....where a 74 Formula 400 would be a DOG.......and putting it on ebay........where somebody else recognized the quality and value.......Now that.....was a nice clean fast flip....

Could never build one for that, or restore one for that either.

It really was a nice car. Needed paint and a bit of upholstery,,but a great car. Kudos on the flip.

Agreed - great buy at auction and nice fluffing for the ebay sale. I have more than that in mine but I think that it is at about the same level of originality/refreshing and well sorted out. The difference is mine is a 455 so I think I’m at the right investment level given this sale. Glad to see the 74 Formys getting some action.

IMHO, your car just stands alone. The color, the stripes, the 455, the Code 514, it's a HOT Anomaly !! Great car to see, and look at, and Learn about... Im Glad you have it and share its little secrets!!

That speedo cable clip should be on the chassis rail?

Thanks Bruce! I think I'll have a tee shirt made that says "Ask Me About My HOT Anomaly" and wear it to the TA Nats!

That is where the clip is located on my 74.

thanks for that, it was relocated on later years so wasn't sure.
