Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1974 Pontiac Grand Am 2 dr. Colonnade Hardtop! In the early 70s there was a big influx of foreign cars entering the American market and they offered both performance and luxury whereas in America you normally didn't get both in 1 car. Pontiac went to work to create a car that would be able to go head-to-head with the foreigners. The Grand Prix was selected for its natural luxury features and the Trans Am for its performance enhancements. If you take the Grand Prix and Trans Am and put them together, there you have the Grand Am! If you didn't know that I bet you aren't alone. The Grand Am would leap frog through time with 5 generations spanning up until 2005. Here we have a '74 model, 2nd year of the first generation. The maroon paint and white Landau Cordova top look great! She had a repaint mid to late 80s and has been garage kept since. The maroon cloth interior matches and is also in good shape. Under the hood is a 6.5L 400ci V8 backed by a rebuilt automatic transmission. The car runs and drives out so smooth, shifts great and sounds good. The sole owner (1-owner) bought it new at Parks Motor Sales out of Columbia, TN. We have the original window sticker that shows the incredible amount of factory additions (14 items) which bumped the price up almost 20% to a total MSRP of $5,644.50. Some of those options were AM/FM Stereo, Air Conditioning, Dual Exhaust, Landau Cordova Top, Soft Ray Glass Windows, and much more. Car also comes with 1974 Pontiac, Grand Am, and Accessories brochures. The title is clean and clear and ready to be transferred into your name now. These cars are not common anymore as many of the 70s era cars have been used in demo derbies, let alone in condition, even more so as a survivor! Don't miss your chance and give us a call today! Options on this Grand Am include: A/C, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Cloth Seats, Tilt Wheel, AM/FM Radio, Seat Belts, and Radial Tires. This 1974 Pontiac Grand Am 2 dr. Colonnade Hardtop is offered by our Louisville Showroom and can be seen in greater detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at http://www.GatewayClassicCars.com.
