Found this on Facebook Market place for sale.. Not mine
Selling my 1974 GTO 350 4 SPD Saginaw car. Has 4 SPD console and needs restoration. The car is complete and has several new parts and other incidentals also have a new carpet kit. The block was machined and ready for bottom end rebuild 20 years ago. The vehicle has since sat and the block now has some rust. It appears not to be pitted. This car is complete less the cylinder heads. Have floor patch panel for drivers side. Will require new quarter, trunk drops,outer wheel houses and hatch. Otherwise all parts are restorable.i have owned this for many years and do not have the time to restore the car. I would like to see some one restore this piece of history, this would be a fun car restored back to factory specs or a great donor for an LS swap or road course car. Please message for any other information or come to view. Located 15 min east of Chestermere on Hwy 1
I had the twin in 86. Mine was missing it's engine though and must have been an american block as i had to change the engine mount towers to accept a small block 350 I put in instead. Few other small changes with mid sixties bellhousing flywheel and clutch parts and I had a fun winter car for a few years. Back then it was just another twelve year old car with no engine I picked up cheap, boy do I wish I'd kept that one. Hindsight is 2020.
The shaker & air cleaner look right, but don't let the blue paint fool you, that is a small block Chevy under it. It should be a Pontiac 350. 74 marked the first time for the 4-barrel on a 350 Pontiac since 69's 350 H.O.
I'd run a 400 Pontiac & maybe a Super T10.

Even though it wasn't really much of a GTO I always thought this was a pretty cool package Pontiac put together. if anybody is looking at this car to restore he says the original heads are missing. Crazy as it sounds I have a set of original 74 GTO heads for sale cheap! Maybe he has the rest of the original engine but not the heads.

I may know the seller of this car. I'm waiting to hear back. He has been on this forum a few times I believe but if it's the guy I think it is, he's not regular here. He has a very nice 67 Canso SD.

I have always had a very difficult time considering this car as a GTO. The only thing GTO about this car is the name.
I remember thinking the same thing when these cars were new. Retrospectively, when you think about the void of exciting vehicles that followed, it now seems pretty neat.
Maybe they should have called it something else, like Ventura GT or something, but regardless a Ventura with a shaker and 4-speed is a cool ride.
I actually rather like them;
they went back to the roots of what made the GTO popular, even if they had a less spectacular 350 vs the old 389 or 400...
They were a compact car, when the GTO just the year before was getting to be bloated - I'd put my money on a 1974 4 spd GTO being faster than a 1973 4 spd GTO;
It seems that most cars tended to increase with size and curb weight as they aged - where the GTO started out as a 'sport compact', this one went back to being a 'sport compact'.
But hey, I only have the luxury of hindsight.
