1973 455
TRANS AM This Trans Am has had a complete frame off
restoration on the entire car approximately 10 years ago and has barely been
driven since it was completed. The car just came out of a six year
storage and was gone through to make sure it was road worthy. The gas tank was drained and all fuel
lines flushed prior to starting motor. The oil was changed and the
coolant was replaced along with water pump in the last week. The engine
runs super smooth with that classic Engine and Transmission: This
455 original engine is the correct numbers matching motor that the car was
built with. The motor still all of its original components such as block,
heads, exhaust manifolds, etc. as when new with exception to the intake
which is a 1968 428 HO intake. I have a NOS(new old stock) correct 1973
intake for the car still in the box that will be included in the sale of the
car. It performs exceptionally well and is strong
runner. The carburetor is a new old stock correct 1973 455
Trans Am automatic carb(7043262) that I just purchased new in the GM box($1,000)
and installed recently. Great find getting that carb. The
transmission shifts nice and crisp between gears and the kick down works when
you leave it in drive and press down on the accelerator pedal for passing or
just for the thrill of it. The engine and transmission run and operate
properly with strong performance. Rear Axle, Brake, and
Suspension: The rear axle is the 3.08 that came with the car
because of A/C. The posi-traction works great with no noise and puts the
power down on the pavement. The entire suspension was gone through
and springs, bushings, sway bar links, etc where all replaced. The shocks
are high pressure KYB new on all four corners which give’s still car
exceptional handling. It goes down the road nice and flat, even in the
corners. The brakes are all new with all new rotors, drums, pads and hardware.
It also and it has a nice strong pedal. The brakes work great and
stop the car very quick. Interior: The interior has had new
carpet, door panels, seat covers, headliner and package tray installed when it
was restored years ago. The dash is absolutely beautiful from one corner
to the next. The gauges are nice and clear and all function correctly
with exception to the clock not working. The seat belts and
shoulder belts are all correct and original to the car with the one year only
1973 buckle. It does have the correct original pre-RTS turned metal dash
bezel. Body and Paint: Wow! The
car was painted its original color code 11 Cameo White. The body and
paint are both extremely straight and nice. The car has had new
rear quarter panels installed and the fit is very nice. The margins on
the panels all line up from quarters to trunk and doors to fenders to
hood. The tail panel is perfect with correct alignment to the rear
quarters under the rear bumper. See pics of rear. The doors
have nice well defined lips on them with no filler what so ever.
The paint is a high dollar paint job that I would estimate in today
dollars cost to be equivalent to around $7000 to $9000. The texture is
smooth and well color sanded and buffed. All of the jambs were painted
out and smooth as well with no over spray. The front nose does not
have and cracks and lines up nice to fenders. All decals are new
also and look great. The entire bottom of the car was painted black
at time of restoration and is extremely solid. There is no
undercoating on the bottom side. Nothing to hide! Very nice
car!
Wheels and Tires: I have the original 15” Paperwork: I have the PHS documents
on the car and all of the equipment and codes match this car. The
car has 36500 miles on it now but I cannot guarantee the mileage as
original. There are a few other receipts also that I will include
with car when sold. Terms: I am selling the car “AS IS”
because cars of this age are. I will require a $2,000 deposit
within two days of end of auction and the balance within seven days.
Please have your funds available to purchase. If you need additional time
for balance just call me and I am sure we can work something out on time.
I will be happy to store the car for you until you have made transportation
arrangements. I will help in coordinating the shipping if you need me to
but the cost will be paid by you. Thank you for viewing my auction and feel
free to call me at 248-760-0021 if you have any questions. Bob |

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
