    Nice car. I had a 74 Formula SD and still own a 74 SD 4 spd. Great full throttle run on your video. I get nervous when I hear that SD roar

      HAD a 74 Formula SD....what was the spec. I owned a 74 Formula 400 and LUSTED after the Formula SD once I figured out what they were. TODAY, I own a 1974 SD 455 Trans/Am and it is better than new and totally bad ass.

      @@74SD455TA My Formula SD was a 74 Regatta Blue with auto, ac, honeycombs. It was in Aug 1991 High Performance Pontiac magazine (cover and inside article), under a new owner. I bought it for abouut $5000. I sold it in 1981.

      @@clevlandblock You have to be hating yourself everyday for ever getting rid of it. I would never have sold that car ( I have owned my 1969 Camaro now for the past 43 years for example). The only thing I may not have liked about any Formula SD is if it had air conditioning as most were automatics. I do no like A/C on these cars at all. Glad that you made up for it by getting your current 74 SD 4 spd car.

    Where's a time machine when you need one? I'd visit 1974 for a week & buy one of these.
    The 70s gave us the 455 SD Trans Am, Led Zeppelin & Blazing Saddles 😆

    Great video but what you should do...is, start from a dead stop, shift at around 5700 ( I was watching your tach/etc.) , and KEEP YOUR FOOT IN IT! I have let a couple friends drive my 74 SD 455 TransAm and I tell em, OK, you think you're neat, should you want to exercise this SD, you have to keep your foot in it, for a quarter mile....its exhilarating. Non Aspirated, no turbo BS, just rock and roll tree stump pulling power

      Oh c'mon don't be so sillly. Each and EVERY SD had a posi in it whether it be the non A/C car with a 3.42 rear end or the A/C car with the 3.08. NOW, with the Formula 455 SD, the posi was an option and if not ordered you would get the open rear end.

      @74SD455TA Рік тому

      Limited Slip is what they called posi back in 1974 for the Pontiacs. Its posi. Now, when a Super Duty was ordered with air conditioning, (bad idea) you could only get a 3.08 rear end and a 4 speed was not available. The 4 speed cars got the 3.42 as did the non A/C automatics with that 3.42.

    Too bad it's not a 4-speed like mine I can get chirp in 4th gear, cameo white with the blue interior

    • @74SD455TA
      @74SD455TA Рік тому +1

      I prefer the drag racers spec'd THM 400 to which I can get chirp in 3rd gear, it only has 3. Put a shift kit in it, a stall speed, and I will consistently beat the clutch car all day long as did the drag racers. Plus when you get a used 4 speed car, you get all the rattles in it from the turkey's before that missed gears and blew up engines....no thanks.

    My favorite year Firebird . Prefer the tight grill on these cars compared to the sloppy look of the 73's and under . But can't do that turned metal dash . Just too shiny and too reflective . Liked the Formulas wood grain dash much better which also offered the SD 455 , A true sleeper """
