'73 Trans Am 455 SD, auto and a/c. This is a #s matching car. The owner had put headers on, aftermarket intake& carb, Hurst dual gate shifter, but still has all the original parts that came off of it, including a real nice build sheet. I have known this car since '82 and have been after this car for 15 years. It has 66k original miles and all original panels. Last Friday the owner called me and said he needed to sell it to pay some bills off. It's been sitting in this garage for the past 12 years. I went over and looked at it and we made a deal today. This will not be a Pro-tour build. I plan on restoring it back to factory original. I do have to lower it just a little because they sat so high from the factory.

I won't be able to sleep tonight until it's with me tomorrow. This is my dream Trans Am.. I will post some pictures up after I pick it up.

Congrats man! You've had quite a few nice early birds, and this one I'm sure will be at least up to par!

Keep us posted!

That is once in a lifetime right there! All the original parts, build sheets, panels! Not that many miles! WOW

Thats rough the owner had to part with it because of bills, but by the looks of it, I am sure you will be taking much better care of it.

Any future plans to take it on a road course with the Z06 and Miata? Maybe before you turn it mint condition again?

Congrats!
