This is my first second generation Firebird. I have owned it about a year and a half and I bought it from a man who owned it for 40 years. The car was originally sold in Tucson Arizona at Quebedeaux Pontiac Tucson with a sticker price of $7,375.00 and has been in Arizona it's entire life. I also own a 1967 Firebird convertible. This photo was taken at a cars & Coffee at an American Legion post here in Tucson in front of an F-4 Phantom that is painted in the colors of the USAF Thunderbirds Flight Demonstration Team. I am a retired USAF and US Marine Corps veteran.

In August 1984 it was sold to the second owner in who lived Wilcox AZ. He owned the vehicle for 40 years and used it daily for about half of that time, and started a partial restoration in 2014. Restoration included a rebuild of the original engine and transmission, a custom exterior paint, interior updates and all new window glass as well as front and rear bumpers and fascia panels. Current ownership began in February 2025 from the 40-year owner.

Here’s my 1974 Pontiac Firebird Esprit, my first car. Purchased in the fall of 1974 as a leftover at Kemper Pontiac in Bridgewater, NJ. Honduras Maroon with White interior. Original paint, interior, transmission and 350 2 barrel engine. 30,000 miles, garage kept. Stored in my Dad’s garage from 1985 until resurrected in April 2014. So happy that I still have this car!
