Look for the letter B in the 5th place of the VIN.

Thanks for the info! Unfortuantly the guy is holding on to the ownership till next week,And i didnt get the VIN when i was there. The car has been in the barn in 15 yrs theres a whole lot of pidgin **** on it i couldnt even see in the front window.Its driving me crazy I should have gotten the VIN #.

That B in the V.I.N. will not be proof positive that it is a real GTO. Any Ventura in '74 could have been ordered with the 4bbl 350 and dual exhaust. However, if there is a letter other than B in the V.I.N., it will not be a GTO. Having said that, the only way to tell if it is a real GTO-optioned Ventura is to have original paperwork or to get PHS documentation. You will need the V.I.N. to get the PHS packet. Unless the current owner is trying to pull something funny with this deal, he should not have a problem with providing paperwork or the V.I.N. for verification purposes.

who cares? sounds like a DEAL!!!

Wadaya mean "who cares?", for one Mikey04 cares since he started this thread!

6000 in Canada is like 1.98 here...if they have the hoods,grills, and trim. I SAY BUY it and stop tire kicking...not like 74 GTO's are worth anything.

So, the tach in the dash and speedometer cluster doesn't mean it's a "real" gto?
