I actually know Cecil. I think he is looking for 10-12K out of it. It was in a neighbors basement for 15 years with stuff stacked on it. He has been collecting nice parts for it for about 2 years.If I remember right it is all original but had some damage to the front fenders so he fould a nice set somewhere.

He recently found a Corvette though that he wants to focus on. Cecil lives in the DALTON area....very cool car guy..and easy to talk to.

Title? I'll bet I haven't had a title on half the cars I've owned. It's always nice but they just don't stay with the car that long in most cases.

I have a title for my 78, but not for my 74, If I ever move out of state or want to sell it, It will be a pain.

If you need a points Distributor I got one from a 69 GTO 400 4SPD Don't know if there is a difference but if you find there isnt one I'll sell it to you for dirt cheap.

The seatbelt interlock. I sent my case off to be zinc plated, but I am still looking for the little rubber bulb that fits over the button. I am thinking some kind of small motor priming bulb will work maybe.

A vacuum nipple can be made to look pretty close if you're not real fussy.

Default Look what my son made for me.

He made a dolly for me to move my Trans Am around in the garage, or in and out of the garage so I could take everything of the underside.

Always great to see another 1974 Trans Am coming back from the dead.
As 1974 was my first Trans Am, I have always had a spot for them in my heart.
Next to the 1970 year, the 1974 always stands out for me.
I will go look at them before other year Trans Ams.
Congrads on your score.
Did you ever get the PHS documents for the car?
That way, you can find out about the car having the big bird on it as well.

Good.
That tends to be the only way to see if there was a hood bird, besides the build sheet.
With no wheel option, looks like Rally IIs.
One of my cars (I have 2 455 Trans Ams, both white with blue/white custom deluxe interiors) came with Honeycombs added by the dealership, and one car came with rally IIs put on by the dealership.
Two different dealerships.
Now, I have a set of rally IIs and Honeycombs for each car!

Looks real good. I have to do the exact same thing on the exact same side on mine. Been putting it off for 3 or 4 years.
