I have come across a local 1974 Trans Am, 84000 miles, Y coded VIN with numbers matching 455 engine, non-AC, red exterior, black interior, column shift automatic, new paint, new decals, NOS grills, NOS front valance, new windshield and the engine has been rebuilt (did not need anything major on the engine rebuild). This TA only needs tires, brakes, seat covers, exhaust system, LH & RH windows, other misc detailing, but is otherwise a very complete car, very solid no rust and the new paint is very good to excellent condition. Overall this should finish up to be a very sharp red Trans Am.

I have not seen many sold examples of 1974 Trans Am's except the recent 455 SD cars which are not equal comparisons. What would this 1974 Trans Am be worth with the standard 455 engine?

My guess would be around $5500-7000, assuming the body isn't full of bondo. Those "minor" details that you mentioned will end up costing some money, and the comment about the engine "rebuild" would have me running away from the car. When someone says that an engine was "rebuilt, but didn't need anything major", I'd take that to mean a basic tear-down, ring replacement with ball-honed cylinders, and a re-gasket job. In other words- not really a rebuild at all.

I would say if the body is in good shape. Its worth a minimum 10,000. 74 Buccaneer Red 455's are starting to get up there in value. 74 Cars are your most desired after anything 70-73. Last year low production. Anything later than that unless its a Bandit or turbo is not worth anything.

Its worth close to 10 k. The column shifter is nifty.. these cars are going to do nothing but increase in value so its a good investment too. good luck

The car looks good Gary!
Both of mine are white cars, and boy, do I wish I had a red one!
maybe some day.
