A 1974 Pontiac Firebird, featuring only 19,000 miles, is now available for sale on eBay after being imported from Europe. The vehicle, listed by a seller known as Consignify1, requires minor restoration but is noted for its low mileage and overall condition.
The Firebird has an odometer reading of approximately 32,000 kilometers, which converts to just under 20,000 miles. Specific details regarding the car’s history and the circumstances of its time in Europe remain unclear. Pontiac produced 73,729 Firebirds in 1974, with the base model making up the majority of those sales at 26,372 units.
Despite the rise in popularity of the Trans Am model that year, the Firebird continued to attract buyers, offering an affordable option in the lineup. The Esprit followed closely in sales with 22,583 units sold, while the Formula and Trans Am accounted for 14,519 and 10,255 units, respectively. Notably, the Trans Am saw an increase in sales that year, rising from 4,802 units to over 10,000.
This specific Firebird features a six-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission, which is often viewed favorably by those seeking a vehicle for daily driving. The condition of the car appears good, with a complete and original interior, although further investigation into its previous ownership and repairs would be prudent for potential buyers.
The seller describes the vehicle as a strong candidate for restoration without major repairs needed, aside from minor rust issues. It remains uncertain if the car retains its original metal on the floors and body, a detail important to collectors.
While six-cylinder engines may deter some buyers, the unique aspect of this Firebird being exported to Europe could be a compelling factor for collectors. The car is currently located in Belgium, and the seller is asking for $24,800, with options for negotiation. Interested buyers should also factor in shipping costs for transportation back to the U.S.
The seller indicates that the car is export-ready, suggesting that prospective buyers could quickly secure the necessary paperwork to bring the Firebird back to its native market.
