I got married in Sept '71. I bought a new '72 HO 455 Trans Am Feb. of 1972. Late ,73 when the '74 GTO came out I went up to the little local Pontiac dealer and they had just received a "RED" (see they were all red, LOL) '74 GTO with most all options. I no longer remember the sticker but I really liked the car. The 350 did not bother me because I knew its potential and I also knew any Pontiac would virtually bolt in. The only thing that turned me off was the cheap Nova Dash. It was just not up to the standards of a GTO. It had a nice white/black interior which looked really good. Rally gauges in the console too. But GTOs were known for their great feeling solid, classy interiors. The dash on the '74 looked too Nova. But with that said, I would not hesitate to own one if I found a good and affordable example.
P.S. My second Pontiac was a '6 GTO.
