Pontiac Grand Am 455 CID V8 1974
General description :
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this absolutely stunning 1974 Pontiac Grand Am. Touting a massive 7.4L V8, this luxury power-cruiser is very capable of getting up to speed. The 455 cubic inch V8 is paired to a 3-speed automatic transmission to get this beautiful Burgundy boulevard bruiser down the road in the smoothest way possible. Having just had a repaint, the shine on this peppy Pontiac is incredible. Firing up the monster V8 brings a satisfying low rumble that is quiet enough to enjoy cruising all day, but just loud enough to hear while sitting at red lights or in parking lots. Slide into the extremely comfortable captain’s chair and prepare for takeoff. The entire dash and center console have a slight cant towards the driver, even furthering the cockpit feel. The refinished white leather interior is as classy as it gets, and ties the whole car together in a wonderful way. The fastback roofline make this slick coupe look fast even while standing still. With a huge V8 and style for days, this ’74 Pontiac Grand Am is sure to impress. Options include: Air-Conditioning, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Seat Belts, Leather Interior, Radial Tires with Raised White Letters, and Rally Wheels.
