Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Cool Cars: 1974 Pontiac Grand Am

Posted January 12, 2010 12:01 AM by dstrohl

Love for the Colonnade? Koch's 1974 Buick Regal driving impressions last month brought it out; let's see if today's HFOD, a four-speed 1974 Pontiac Grand Am, offered for $15,000 out of Hopkinton, Massachusetts, does the same.

From the seller's description:

"Very rare Factory 4SPD one of only 146 made, Rebuilt 400 motor, rebuilt Muncie trans, Matching numbers drivetrain, new exhaust, etc. Rust free body, New paint/vinyl top, Oxblood interior in great shape with some wear on front seats. Runs well. Two owner car, Turn key."

Then the 1973-1974 oil crisis came along and spoiled all the fun. By '74, production quantities for the Grand Am were down about 50% That 400-block V8 made it a real monster, though.

My brother had a '76. For such a gas guzzling monster it had almost no headroom even for normal sized people. The interior reminds me of a Corolla.

So sad that they have to withdraw the production of this classic car hope GM can find a way to continue the legacy of Pontiac, and for classic car collectors there should be sufficient pontiac grand am parts for restorations
