Great car I took my driver's test in a 74 Formula 400 gold. It was my mom's But it had Deluxe inter. It had General dual steel belt tires Thanks for the Memories😊

Thanks for parking it in an alley contrasting against a white and navy blue striped wall. This Firebird so empbodies the capacity to rekinkdle the essence and spirit of the 70s. It's beautiful. Astutely designed rear bumper almost as appealing as the chrome even while still meeting newly imposed crash impact standards.

Love the hood looks great

[@chrisbudai409]

I love the snorkel hoods on these cars they were operational they had the louvers that would open up in 1975 they didn't open up ypu would have had to punch them out

Super looking car. Great with the 455. Talk about a survivor. What a find!

Really nice automobile, we have a 1975 Esprit, 350 4bbl, 4spd manual car in Bimini blue with white/blue contrast interior, classy ride....

What a treasure, thanks for sharing! Grew up just blocks away from Seifert Pontiac when it was on South Havana Near Buckingham Square. Wonderfully optioned Firebird. The colors have to be very rare for 74. Interesting the name of the exterior color is Aquamist. In 1970 Buick had what I believe is the same color and they call it Aquamist as well.

WOW! What an interesting history on the car, Gary! Loved the day one pics at the end. Love the car!

Back in the day, a high school girl had the same blue '74 Formula 455 but without the vinyl top which looks better without in my opinion. Hers had an optional chrome luggage rack on the trunk lid which looked great. I think this Formula would look even more awesome if it had the rear spoiler. Without a spoiler, the rear looks bare in my opinion. Very nice find!!!

I’d like to see a bench racing vid about the owner of Level One. When and where it al began. The excellent business name choice, the lessons, (L88 Legend Status ceiling grind, etc.). It takes a certain type of person to fuel such a niche and this man fits in with the guy I trusted to finish a LS6 Chevelle restoration and the look after I arrived to drop the last few items off and mentioned that the “SS” grille badge was upside down was akin to a slap across the face, (hint: I should have whispered it, trust me, as it was Over in how I said it, which I regret, which was not my first time thinking I’m funny-as I’m committing a massacre of sorts, character flaw😞). I can picture the female first owner and how particular she was and became making sure her favorite vehicle was protected and maintained, her being the quietest person in every room, ie: the smartest, (type/note to self: FLICK to the forehead from The MARINE Drill Instructor).

Had from brand new a 1974 Formula 400 2bbl car. This one, it wouldn't have surprised me if it were a column shift car but isn't.

[@scrappy7571]

A friend of mine had a '74 Formula 350. Bought in '78, all original. It did not have the ratchet shifter, but my '73 Camaro type LT did have the ratchet shifter. Not sure which models had them or did not.

[@JerryM-p2v]

Great car, too bad the ram air wasn't functional.

[@thud9797]

It was a $56 option but in the notes it says available with the L78 400 4bbl only so maybe couldn't have gotten it with the 455. Also this was the last year for the cable controlled ram air option on Formula.
