1 of 212 made! Extremely desirable 4 speed Super Duty. These cars
hardly ever come to market, this is a rare opportunity. This one
has 41,156 actual miles. It is # s matching, documented and has
original metal. We just bought it back from the collector we sold
it to 17 years ago. It was part of his 50 car collection up in the
mountains of Georgia.
The legendary Super Duty- Early 1970s was a time where cars were
heavily regulated, emissions and gas mileage was far more important
than horsepower. A few engineers at Pontiac still had the need for
speed. The Super Duty was built under the radar from the top brass.
It may look like the standard 455, but that's all they have in
common. These were special cast blocks that were hand assembled
with upgraded performance parts. This is considered the last muscle
car of that era.
EXTERIOR: Beautiful Admirality Blue with the screaming chicken on
the hood. The SD on the scoop is what really counts. The body is
clean and straight. No rust bubbles and the paint is at least 20
years old. The rubber bumpers and fender flares all fit real nice
and are not broken. The paint presents itself very well. Smooth,
glossy finish. We recently ran it through the shop for a days worth
of polishing. It has the optional trim on the hood, doors annd
gutters. The grills, trim, glass are all very good. Weatherstrips
are excellent. The tires are brand new BFGs, we replaced them after
the pictures were taken. Rally ll wheels are in good shape.
INTERIOR: We believe the interior is all original and it is in
great shape. I bet the original build sheet is in the car still.
Upper and lower door panels are excellent. The dash pad is not
cracked, original machine turned instrument panel is very good. It
has complete set of rally gauges. The formula wheel is very good.
It has optional am-fm 8-track radio. The console is very good. That
4-speed really makes the car extra special, it still has the
original knob. These seats are very comfy. The cushions and
upholstery are excellent. The headliner is drooping down, dome
light works. The plastic trim is real nice.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original #s matching 455. The blocks were
strengthened, they had 4 bolt mains, forged rods, aluminum pistons,
ram air cam and high flow heads, a unique intake, an 800 cfm carb
and ram air exhaust manifolds. Each engine was hand assembled to
keep tolerances tight. There is a sticker on the valve cover that
gives specs that are typical of a race engine. Unique to the SD the
breather hose attaches to the oil cap. Rare # match carb. The hp
was net 290, gross 390 and it made 395 lbs of torque. This was much
higher than any other car produced at that time. Overall very
proper motor compartment. It features power steering and power
brakes.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is clean and complete. It had a rally
ll wheel spare, the jack is properly located under the deck. Solid
metal, no rust. The mat has some stains but it is original.
UNDERSIDE: Very well preserved original condition. The floors are
completely solid original metal. The floors, rockers, lower
quarters are uncut rust free metal. It was cleaned up and given a
coat of primer. It's been maintained as needed. At some point the
shocks were replaced. The fuel system was gone through- the tank
and fuel pump were replaced. It has disc brakes in front, e-brake
assembly is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it's very clean. The
original numbers matching 4-speed trans looks clean. It also has
it's original 3.42 posi rear end.
This is a very significant car in the muscle car history. This one
is an excellent example of a low mile, unmolested car. Very sought
after and very few people can say they own one. If you want to be
that person, here is your chance. Don't hesitate, a 4-speed hardly
ever becomes available. They say it's the last muscle car of that
era, this one was built middle of June, it's really one of the
last!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.

showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
