You are right sir. Only that was a regular 455 4bbl not an SD.

This particular car is awesome: rare color and perfect restoration.

Just for info, a four speed 73 SD T/A in need of restoration sold for $125K two weeks ago http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...em=200053176701 and a nice 73 Formula SD w/auto sold for 65K from the same seller http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pontiac-T...044874476QQrdZ1 . He also sold a 74 SD auto for $75K last month. Legit seller and real sales.

The SD-455 was available in both the Trans Am and the Formula. The Formula, though rarer, does not bring the same $$$ as the T/A. Less snazzy looking though it does have the shaker unit. Four speed cars bring a premium over automatics, though you could not get a/c with a four speed.

There are some people out there who say the 71 and 72 455HO's were faster (especially the people who own them )

Greg, what ever happened to your '69 TA? I was after it a couple years ago and you disappeared.
Your '73 is an awesome car. I think 150k may be a bit of a steal. You should have taken to BJ and got "all the money". Good luck with the sale.

Denis, Brewster is a name often given to 'British Racing Green'. This car is in a color derived from BRG, so Pontiac named the color Brewster Green. Very similar to other more familiar colors such as Goodwood Green or Lynndale Blue or Riverside Gold. It goes on and on and on...

Charlie Lillard, great looking car. Thanks for posting it so it can be seen with the trim rings on the Rally II's. It seems to give the car a different look.

Southernfriedcj, I had to sell the '69TA to grab this car. It was a 3 way deal, as the individual who referred me to the SD seller bought my car. I had no chance to market it. Sorry about that! If your interested in this car, I promise not to 'disappear' on you! I'm here, but he car won't be for long! Thank you for the compliment on this car!

Man, that Brewster color is deeeep...love it !!! .

Love seeing T/A's w/ these wheels too, soooo not into honeycombs & later snowflakes...were the S-D's shipped minus trim rings like Judges? .

Hard to beat all you get in one of these...and A/C to boot! .
With S-D production so low especially the '73's, the old supply and demand thing should keep these nice 'real cars' solid! .

370454s, your are right, they used up 3 of the Brewster SD cars in the making of McQ. 2 were totalled, and the third survived. Watching the movie closely, reveals shots with the different cars identified by different license plates, and whitewalls vs. raised white letter tires.

Peteleathersac, the color is awesome.

On the trim rings, '73 was the first year that trim rings were standard, vs. optional in previous years. However, it sounds like you agree, the car looks best without them, and that's how I have chosen to keep it. The car does come with 4 NOS trim rings in GM boxes however, if the buyer would like to add them.

Ouch! I havent seen the McQ movie in a quite a while and I didnt think they used SD's. What a waste of historic cars.
