Vehicle Description
1973 Pontiac Trans Am 455 Super Duty - Restored, Documented, 4
Speed For Sale Full Documented,� Super Duty 4 Speed , 1 of only 72
Produced By 1973 the Muscle Car era was quickly showing signs of
coming to an end. But there was one final surprise waiting to come
out from the performance enthusiasts at Pontiac. They had been
working on a new performance engine and weren't going to let a fuel
crisis or insurance costs stop them from dropping one final
performance option on the industry. Introduced for 1973 and lasting
only two model years would be the Super Duty 455 available on the
Legendary Trans Am. For 1973 a mere 252 would be produced including
180 automatics and only 72 4 speed cars. Very under rated at 290hp,
they were providing performance numbers that everyone was more
accustomed to seeing in 1969 and 1970 even with government
regulated smog equipment installed. What this motor could have done
to the industry had it emerged a few years earlier will always be
questioned, but one thing is certain, the Super Duty Trans Am will
forever be a special and very sought after collector car. Sold new
at Cerami Pontiac, this Trans Am has been a very rare and special
car since day one.� Finished in Cameo White with black interior,
the car has always had a great look but going through the PHS
documentation, it was also well optioned since day one including
stereo radio, console and of course the WS4 Trans Am option, heavy
duty battery and heavy duty radiator for the big Super Duty 455 and
ultra rare 4 speed transmission. Although probably not realized at
the time, that drivetrain combination would make this car one of
only 72 SD455 4 speed cars ever produced for the entire model year.
Today the car has benefited from a complete nut and bolt rotisserie
restoration, to better than new condition. Undercarriage has been
finished in correct primer with fully detailed suspension front and
rear, paint has been polished to a beautiful finish and the
interior shows like new having been treated to an equal level of
detail. During the restoration the owner at the time elected to
save and preserve the original numbers matching, ZJ coded 455 SD 4
speed engine block as it is a valuable piece of the cars history
and authenticity. Installed in the car is another 455 Super Duty
engine, properly detailed and running strong.� Thus allowing the
car to be driven and enjoyed without the worry of hurting the
original motor.� The car is also completely documented including
previously mentioned PHS documentation, owner history, listed in
the SD Registry and more. Opportunities to acquire a real 1973,
factory 4 speed Super Duty are few and far between, this car is one
not to be overlooked by the astute collector wanting one of the
last, ultra rare, highly coveted and most desirable muscle cars of
all time. Additional Details: 1973 PONTIAC TRANS AM 455SD - 19554,
