You must have not been around in 1974. The first arab oil embargo happened just after the '74 models were released. Gas was almost onoexistant. Then, after some time when you could buy gas, the price doubled. It was a time of going backward as far as progress is concerned.

there are many but, the more interesting ones- I have a 70 GTO conv from Westward Pontiac here in Phoenix. Have a '71 GTO and '78 Macho TA from mecham Pontiac.

'72 WW5 455HO GTO was bought new in Scottsdale at Bud Beck Pontiac.

'70 GTO Ram Air IV was delivered to a southern California Pontiac zone office. May have been used for magazine tests and promotions.

'71 GTO 455HO- delivered to GM proving grounds Mesa, Az. My guess is it was an exec car as it is very loaded with options.

I was 11 in '74, but I remember the lines, the odd/even tag days and all. It was a pretty brief period of time where gas was really that hard to get, and more of an inconvenience than anything.

Still though, it's not like everybody was just sitting at home crying. Some would argue that progress is going backward today as well, but people aren't blowing their brains out over today's gas prices either.

My parents bought this 66 new in Nov 1965 from Mark Howard Pontiac in Uniontown Pa.

It is now a closed Honda dealership.

My dad passed away in 1999. That is my 73 yr old mom a few years back.
On the way home from picking up the car at the dealer they stopped off to do some street racing.
