'71 455HO/4-sp Trans Am

Neat car with the Sandalwood interior - can't say that I have seen that before. Factory air, too, but I'd like more description before bidding to understand whether any of the drivetrain is original.... Also a number of details that concern me - wrinkled seat covers, paint missing on front air dam, etc...would need to see this one in person.

Snowflake wheels and a Sure Grip differential? That dude is confused.

Incorrect (later 1973 +) Rally IIs, incorrect seat cover material, Radial Tuned Suspension in 1971 - NOPE - so bezel has been changed. Fixable stuff though - if it's numbers match and the body's good that isn't a bad price. 4-speed and AC is a lot of people's cup of tea in these cars.

"From the eagle on the hood"...
Does the seller really believe the front bumper is part of the hood ??
AND it isn't an Eagle...

Everyone knows it's a Screaming Chicken. :-)

Back up for sale again, currently at $24k and change with the reserve not met.

Despite the flaws, I'm a fan of the sandlewood interior against the white/blue paint scheme. I'm surprised more weren't ordered this way.
