Ever wonder what a SE Trans Am would look like if it came out
a few years earlier? Here's a 75

Sweet car! I have a soft spot for basemodel birds & I love the color too.
Is it the factory glacier blue or is it a custom color?

I'd love to see more photos of it, I was considering painting my 75
bird the same shade of blue.

Thanks for posting.

Hi Rack, I don't know if it is an original Pontiac color. It was repainted. The original color must have been green metalic.
On this particular years I like the base or non TransAms better. On the others the Trans Am rules. The front end looks just better without spoilers I think. With spoilers of course also great. Just great cars!
Here are some more pictures. If u want some more, bigger ones u can email me.

Those Wheels were already on the car! I just drive them as the tires are new...

Thanks again for the photos!
Cool car, I always wonder why some cars
got ordered with an extra cost option like it being an Espirit
but than they skipped the extra gagues, console ect?

My base 75 was built with the standard exposed wipers, no rear spoiler
and no gagues,
But it was ordered with the sport stripes and extra cost white letter tires?!?

I love to see base model or no option firebirds.
It's refreshing to see one thats not a T/A or Formula,
My base 75 had a formula hood on it whenI got it,
its too cool to take off and swap for a flat one,
but if it had a flat hood on it I would leave it on.

Any one else have more base model or luxury optioned
birds they want to share?

I'm craving photos of hub caps, vinyl tops, colum shifters, and no gagues.

I'll have to scan in some photos of my cars & post them.

My Bird is actually a x-port version for Switzerland. Maybe that is why some things are different. Or the swiss guys are sometimes a bit strange in what they order.

The best part of the mid 70's car history was the F bodies sales surge, in spite of it all.
