Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Looking for pics or where to look on the net.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

I have some on my site http://www.haleperformance.com/trans-am.htm

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

I love that 73 front end. I'm a big fan of the 73 SD, not as much of the 74.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Personally, I'm looking for more pics of 73-74 SD Formula's. I've got a few on the hard drive but am always looking for more.
74's
73's

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

I like the 73's myself. I dont like the nose on the 74 and a few other items. I really like this 70 RA4 I am working on now, it should be a real looker when done.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Not sure of what exactly you could be looking for. Here is a page with my 73 SD Trans Am on it. The car is almost returned back to original "look" condition. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Don't mind the "extra mopar shots" title. I was going to trash the page and help a friend with some mopar stuff but decided to make a new page for him and I never got around to changing this back.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

WOW! Nice Trans Am. I absolutely love those honey comb wheels! Did you do the work on the car yourself?

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Cool Car..I also found a Super Duty fact and pic page... Super Duty Page

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

mosport, I did as much of the work that I possibly could. Only thing I didn't do was the paint.

Charley? Feeling like the ole garege is a wee bit too empty????? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

I got one, just needs a little TLC.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

I have to say that ChrisB's SD is gorgeous! Chris, I met you through a friend of a friend up at Ruttle's one night (I was the 2nd gen F-body fan w/ a pony tail...Mark). Didn't you have a 74 also? I seem to remember that you were going to sell one of your's for a newer Hurst or Anniversary T/A. Still have another SD?

Nice SD car Charley.Buccaneer red is the @#$% on those cars. Looks like all the right stuff is all there. Nice original Formula wheel. Show us some pics after the TLC.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Looks real nice to start with. Almost a twin to the one I did a while back except for the A/C and auto.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Maybe you wanna do it for me really cheap since you are so familiar......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Depends what your definition of cheap is. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif We can do it though. Had a few cool T/A's come thru here.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Hi Mark, you'll have to pardon me for not remembering.
Yes, Had a 74 SD as well as the Lucerne Blue 455 HO 4 Spd 1972 Trans Am. That car wasn't for sale but I was offered a price I couldn't refuse.
I didn't buy anything new though.

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Hi Chris. Are you planning to get any more TAs? I picked up 2 71s. Both are real nice orig. cars. 1 is M-22 car. 1 owner. eric from pittsburgh https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Hmmmmm...call me a cynic, but I think this is Charley's passive-aggressive marketing effort to sell this cool restoration project to one of the Pontiac geeks who have gravitated to the board in recent months. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Passive (I need some pics and info for this TLC-needing car)
Aggressive (oh, BTW, here's every picture you need to decide this one-owner diamond in the rough should be your next project)

Hey, aforementioned Pontiac geeks, can you confirm that the John Wayne cop movie featuring one of these cars in my town of Seattle was "McQ", and was it a Brewster Green non-SD? 4speed or auto? THANKS!

TOM

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

I'm not sure about "pontiac geeks", but the green TA in McQ, was a non SD I think. As far the sales "thing", Charlie- Tuna?, You kind of lost me. Unless you mean the 73 will be for sale? There is alot more collectors going into to the pontiac world. I think this is great, should bring more diversity into the hobby. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Thanks for the McQ trivia.

Please don't read the "geek" terminology as a slam. I use it as a sarcastic term of endearment. I've been a total car geek since I was a toddler. My userID, tom406, is based on the most dear to me of the number of FORDS I've owned-but I like everything, including Pontiacs and a whole bunch of pre-musclecar-era stuff like 30's Packards and 50's finned cars, to say nothing of my station wagon fetish. I don't bemoan the new faces on here, its just apparent by the userID's and the caliber of rare cars these guys own or owned, that they take their Pontiacs seriously.

I'm sure Charley Lillard would be happy to sell the '73 SD to someone with good intentions , a neat trade, and/or enough money. I'm just needling him a little for presenting it here and not in the CARS FOR SALE section. Maybe he will restore the darn thing, it is <font color="red">RED </font>after all, so it won't disrupt the color vibe in the BARN. But wasn't he the guy needling the Pontiac guys just a few days ago? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Thats because the Pontiac Guys Suck.....Just kidding. Actually the last Pontiac I restored was a 70 SJ 455 4 spd. Grand Prix. Cool car but slow. No I'm not trying to sell the SD. My big decision is ...1-do the car myself to a lessor degree than I know someone like Micky can do....2-Beg Micky to do it cheap https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif since by the time it is finished it won't be worth what I have in it...3-Just build the engine myself and have it painted and drive it. The third option is the easiest except in reality I probably won't drive it much and I also think this car is so untouched in many areas that it is important for someone like Micky to do so all those details can be referred to for other restorations. This car looks great but my hair is getting Grayer and I lately don't seem to have the enthuasium to tear into a car. I think of all those Guys that have beeen collecting projects to build when they retire. By the time they retire they either don't have the Physical abilities to do them or the desire. Or they have moved on in life to other interests.

It seems by reading into your post that you are turning all gray and crusty and are about to get an estimate from your local undertaker. Sooo,can you see your way clear to sending some of those red and yellow cars? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
Geeze, one minute I see a video of you melting tires in your driveway and the next your barely able to rock your rocking chair...what gives? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Doing a Resto on a car is alot different than just driving the Cr*p out of one. I spend enough time just keeping them running. I already spend a bunch of time just working on what I have. Yes I could probably do just about everything except paint but I don't think I have the patience to do the research to make sure I get every detail right. I have a real appreciation for those Resto Guys that do put that extra effort in to get the little stuff right. So I could do the engine and have it painted but it would be a # 2 type car. This car at some point will get a correct resto so in essence the work I do would have to be repeated again anyway....I have had this discussion with myself before. Last one I did was a 63 Vette about a Year ago. Before that was a 65 Shelby GT 350 that I chose to send off for a Resto that has been going on for 2 Years....I dunno...I guess I just think this car is so neat that it deserves better than I would give it if I did it myself. Ask me again tomorrow and I might give you a different answer.

I was just trying to fire you up a little and it seemed to work https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif Feels good dont it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif
Those restos take time dont they, I had a 40 ford sitting in a shop years ago waiting for paint and a few parts, took almost 5 years to get it finished right..When is the shelby suppose to be finished?

Charley,
I was a senior in HS when that car came out and the Buccaneer red was the ultimate. I had soured on the GTO because of the severe body change in '73 (it turned into a battleship), so the Trans Am was the car I HAD to have.

As soon as I had a fairly-decent full time job, I bought a brand new '75 T/A, and I would KILL to have an SD455 red Trans Am!!
You are lucky, man!

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

I think the Shelby will be finished by Summer. It is at the point where it is just a big puzzle that needs to be put back together. Almost all the parts are there and refinished, the car is painted, engine rebuilt etc...

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

Pontiac geeks?

Re: Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics
 

If I was you I would do it right and sign up to get on the waiting list and send it to that guy in Ohio who knows Pontiacs (as well as Chevys) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
