Historical Services documented.
The legendary Super Duty: Early 1970s was a time where cars were
heavily regulated, emissions and gas mileage were 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: This body was stripped down to a bare shell and put on a
rotisserie, we have pictures. It is clean and straight from the
rockers to the roof. The panels, spoilers, bumpers all align
properly. Those big doors even close effortlessly. Repainted it's
original Admirality Blue and polished to a mirror finish. Fresh
decals including the hood bird. All the weatherstrips and seals
were replaced. The rally II wheels were restored and are wearing
BFG tires.
INTERIOR: Rare saddle interior with the blue exterior looks rich.
It is very fresh and detailed from carpet to headliner. It has been
dyed all one color, the plastic trim, console, door panels all
match the seats perfectly. The machine turned instrument panel
looks great around the rally gauges. I also love the formula wheel
which is on a tilt column. Other options include power windows and
a rear window defogger.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original born with Super Duty engine. Original
#s matching 455 block and it's components, we have photos of the
numbers before the restoration to really verify authenticity. The
heads, carb, distributor and even the alternator are original. The
SD blocks were strengthened: they had 4 bolt mains, forged rods,
aluminum pistons, ram air cam, 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. 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. It features factory air
conditioning, power steering and brakes. It is complete including
the ductwork off the air cleaner, squirters are hooked up, it has a
Delco battery topper, the overflow bottle is in place, the brake
booster is cadmium plated etc.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb were painted
very nicely. They replaced the weatherstrip and sticker, it even
has a working trunk lamp. Inside is all clean metal with an
insulated trunk mat. It has a restored jack assembly and rally ll
rim.
UNDERSIDE: Every component was removed from under this car and then
it was put on a rotisserie. The floors are completely rust free
metal that was correctly sprayed with the red oxide primer then all
the components were restored, rebuilt, detailed and reinstalled.
First year for the Radial Tune Suspension which was completely
rebuilt. It has fatter swaybars front and rear. It has a correct
exhaust system with transverse muffler and polished slash cut tips.
The fuel system was replaced including the tank. The brake system
was completely rebuilt to stock with disc in front and working
e-brake assembly. Looking up at the motor it is clean, starter look
new. The Turbo 400 automatic is also fresh and is original to this
car with matching VIN number and it's original 1974 tag. The
rebuilt driveshaft leads back to it's original posi rear with 3.08
gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
Only 1,296 Firebird Super Dutys were made total in all years, all
models. How many still exist? Only hundreds of people on this
entire planet can say they own one. Here is your chance to not only
own one, but own one of the best ones!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights.
Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are
interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment
with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an
admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a
car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year
museum membership.
