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 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.

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.... |

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.
