1973 Brewster Green SD-455 Trans Am Super Duty

[165th TA]

Thanks for sharing that story on your dad. I'm sorry he didn't get the motor he ordered, but that is exactly the reason these cars are where they are today. There has been limited availability on these cars, well, since they were new!

Reason for the sale is a business venture, namely that I'm going into business for myself, and made the decision to sell the car for start up capital as opposed to soliciting angel capital (interpretation: nagging silent partner)! Tough decision?... yes. Thanks for the compliments.

Southernfriedcj, in an earlier post you mentioned it should have gone to the B-J auction. I purposefully avoided the three big auctions out West in January. Although those guys do a terrific job with their events, I felt the 16% to 20% mark up of buyers and sellers premiums would not be necessary for this car.

BigG, thanks for insights on the recently sold comp.

was this car at the Pure Stock drags at Norwalk in 2003?
if not,it's twin was there,and sounded wicked.

andy tantes, I don't believe this was the same car at Norwalk, however, most SD's have that same sound, that of a round port 455 breathing 800cfm's (stock)! If anyone has ever used Gardner exhaust, then you know that the note Eric's mufflers makes are awesome as well.
