1972 Trans Am 455 HO 4 spd w/ ac & pw on ebay

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

I'll take this one with a B/S and without a "door prize" for about the same cabbage-

Seems like a fair price if the mileage is factual,but it's a dealer..

I does look nice from where I sit: 1000 miles away. I bet that if it has that Pep Boys plastic fuel filter then it no longer has its original carb. No a/c though. If the body is nice up close, it would be a bargain. Original spare tire too.

20,000 original miles and the original air cleaner is gone???? Makes me wonder just after taking a quick look under the hood.

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.

Nice catch on the air cleaner, very observant. That's another $2000 part missing from the car. If it has the late model base it must have the late model shaker as well....another high $$$$$ part to locate.

Well, you didn't think I was gonna pay more than 37k after I asked for your estimate did you? The car will be in Athens Sunday.

Well that scares me that someone out there actually pays attention to what I say??!! Good luck on the car. Looks like an amazing piece. A year from now that will be looked at as a bargain price. (It's double what I paid for mine back in November, 2004) Feel free to email me some photos. I will be happy to trade info if you need help. Also I emailed the seller that the original dealership is still in business up here in Jersey. He posted the address info in the auction. Maybe I can stop by one of these days and check it out for you.

I just found this listing on ebay. This is listed as the correct a/c bracket for the 455 HO engine. I have my doubts. Compare it to the attached photo which is the original bracket from my car. Note the cutout and the rolled edge for the heat riser tubing to pass over, which the ebay piece doesn't have.

By the way, I just re-examined the photos of your car from the auction. It is also missing the front a/c bracket that attaches to the two front intake bolts. (This at least is a standard piece from all Pontiac V8s and is cheap) I can look around in my parts and see if I have one.
