I know what the hell caused all of the 70s Trans Ams to double in price over night? I've been looking for a clean 73 or 77 and I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay the crazy money that these cars out of no where are bringing. Guess I'm SOL.

They're finally catching on as the rest of the market has gone crazy, these cars were ignored. The 73s show up fairly frequently but its hard to find a non-rusted one. The 77s are moving up because of the "Smokey and the Bandit " effect. There are bargains though. One 77 just was bought locally for $600 and it was a nice car, though it had the 403 Olds and an automatic.

Wow! reserve met and it's at $35K with 3 hours to go. I emailed the seller and informed him that his original selling dealership is still in existance, under the same name up here in NJ. He posted it so at least the buyer will have that info to play with.

I think the SD's have seen the biggest move.Last year or two they were 40-50 for a clean one now try and find one under 80k.It's not just the 77's,try finding nice 78-79 Starlite SE W72's under 25k.They made a ton of them,but with the remake of the movie coming(hear Burt will play Jackie's role) last year for the BB,and so many boomers having owned/wanted one back then they are in huge demand.

Not to take this discussion too far off course...has anyone here ever had (OR SEEN) an SD455 Formula? There couldn't have been too many of those made...

I guess I was pretty close with my original value estimate. I said $37K and it sold for $36,600.

Well, I for one, which is obvious, am very happy about the runup in prices. I would never sell my Tirebird,.but it's nice to see it's getting it's due.

I worked at Hoffman Pontiac Maywood Ill. from 73 to 78 saw one sd 455 Formula 4spd. It was used and was like a pewter color w/red interior. Our factory rep bought it.
