Pontiac Trans Am 455 CID V8 1973
General description :
For sale in our Nashville showroom is a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am Super Duty. If there is such a thing as a “Holy Grail car” this would be a top five finalist. In 1973 Pontiac built and sold some 46,313 Firebirds, 4,802 of these were Trans Am’s, 252 were Super Dutys and of these 252 only 180 were equipped with an automatic transmissions! Now, factor in the Brewster green exterior with saddle tan interior and let’s just say you will not pass yourself on the way to the car show. This 1972 Super Duty for sale is fresh off a full restoration and looking like the day it rolled off the showroom floor. Numbers matching from front to back this 1973 Trans Am for sale has the bullet proof 455 Super duty engine under the hood which the factory claimed in 1973 to have a ground pounding 290 horsepower, that’s right 290HP. I think the factory fudged a little on this one. Take 455 cubic inches of displacement, add heads that flow even better than the ram air IV’s, multiply that by a four barrel carburetor and that equals, wait, carry the one, divide by 3.14, ok I’am not sure, but surely more than 290! This 1973 Firebird Trans Am for sale is more than just power, with some of the smoothest body lines to ever come out of Michigan, covered in Brewster green, (have you ever seen a Brewster green T/A? thought not) with the light green and yellow Phoenix on the hood that contrasts so well with the saddle interior, what could be better? Options for this 1973 Super Duty for sale include: Air conditioning, AM/FM radio, Power steering, Power brakes, Seat belts, Vinyl interior, Radial tire that are wrapped around Pontiac rims.
