The shaker hood decal is a ruse, the VIN, and included documentation, tells us that sitting under it is a 250 net HP, 455 CI, non-SD V8 engine, and no, it doesn’t run.

Anyway that you cut it, what’s left of the original Brewster Green is going to have to go to effect a full restoration. Besides the heavy surface corrosion flake-off, there is substantial rust-through in the fenders and quarters along with a smattering of dents. Collins in turn sold it to the current seller. Supposedly, it was originally shipped overseas and then returned to Texas where car flipper and Jeep parts supplier Dennis Collins got a hold of it. The exterior appears to be original and intact but that rust! I understand surface rust bleed-through but this Trans Am has a lot more than that going on. Colorblind? Not really but the finish is just that faded and worn.
The problem here is that if I had not read that this car is green, I would have never known it. Normally I’d say that’s great, I like green and believe that it’s a preferable choice to the over typically found white and blue combination. Located in Lincoln, Nebraska, this old Poncho is available, here on eBay for a current bid of $15,100 with the reserve not yet met.Īccording to Junk Yard Life, of the 4,472 Trans Ams produced in ’73, only 146 were finished, such as this example is, in Brewster Green. One is the SD-455 decal on the shaker hood scoop and the other is its deplorable condition, as in, how’d this happen? I’ll have to dig in to find out. This one, however, caught my attention for two reasons.
I generally take a pass on second-gen (’70-’81) Pontiac Trans Ams – it’s nothing personal, they just don’t draw my interest.
