This is a great opportunity to own one of the finest 1974 Firebird Trans Am's still in existence today. In 2014 this car went thru an extensive body restoration over a 6 month period.
The cars body was stripped to bare metal and refinished in it's original buccaneer red paint followed by 6 coats of clear coating. It was then blocked and buffed to a true show finish.
The original style graphics were then applied to give this low mileage vintage muscle car a better than factory showroom appearance. New tires were added to the original refinished rims and then highlighted with new trim rings. No expense was spared with this restoration work performed by a professional paint and body restoration shop in Winter Park, lorida.
The interior is still all original and looks every bit as good as the pictures indicate. The only change made was to add a retro/radio to the dash. This sound system with CD changer carries great sound complimented by the 4 (front is a dual mode center Mount) new speakers inside the car. It also has a USB port. Everything is working but the clock in the rally gauges (but it does keep accurate time twice a day).
Engine and transmission are running strong. Dual exhaust is not too loud, ut you know when this bird is flying by. No smoke, tarts up great. Newer retro battery installed in 2014.
This car has been serviced and checked by a local professional seasoned mechanic and has no known problems or issues. The under carriage/chassis is un-restored and still has themarkings from the under-coating that the original owner had done back in the 70' and 80's.
