1973 PONTIAC 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
checked also. The engine runs super
smooth with that classic Pontiac sound through its new 2 1/2 ”performance dual
exhaust system. The engine temp is nice
and cool around 180 degrees and the oil pressure is strong at 60 psi to 80
under acceleration.
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, intake, exhaust manifolds, etc. as when new
with exception to a performance cam, lifters and 1.6 rockers. It performs exceptionally well and is strong
runner. The carb is not original to the
car but I do have a correct 1973 Trans Am automatic carb that I will include
with the sale of the car. 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 and pretty stiff.
If you have smooth roads to drive on they feel very nice. If you drive on some bumpy roads they are a
little stiff. An easy swap if you want
to soften up the suspension. The brakes
are all new 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 it's 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 $6000 to
$7000. 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!
Paperwork: I have the PHS documents on the car and all
of the equipment and codes match this car.
I do have some additional documents dating back to the 80’s with 19000
mile odometer statement and a copy of Ohio title with 35000 miles in 2007. The car has 36000 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. |

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
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.
