Dave Accorsi, Premier’s Midwest Sales Manager is intrigued by the 1974 Pontiac Firebird at Lot 744.  One of Dave’s customer’s has a collection of Pontiac Firebirds. The 1974 Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am Super Duties were the very last of the high-performance cars from the ’70s. A total of 943 were produced for the 1974 model year. Of that number, only 212 were equipped with the Pontiac 455 Super Duty engine and 4-speed transmission, and this is one of them, with less than 9,500 actual miles.
