1973 Trans Am Red / White 455 - 4 Speed Air Posi-Traction WS4 Rare Orange Carpet

1973 Pontiac Trans Am Deluxe white Description

There have been over 6000 views of this car as counted by ebay:I have tried to get across the true value of this car. A 1 of only 1 true original piece of
history. A factory manufactured original piece of history. A car where every 17 year olds
dream wanted to get a car like this and race it on a cool summer saturday or sunday
afternoon.This is exactly the car that was used to fuel a 17 year olds dream of racing
ona Sundayafternoon of July 23, 1978. This car was raced by a young man who never
raced beforeand was able to pull a 15.22 in the quarter mile and TROPHY with the help
of those wholived the racing 60's. This is exactly the kind of cars that were, back in the
day. Little did weknow it was truly an end of an era.This car is a factory period modified
original timepieceexactly the way they were doing it at the time. With the cragars, the fat
wheels, even thezoomie pipes (long gone) it was all used back then.Sometimes it seems we cannot seethe forest through the trees.
The money (scratch that) value of this car is not a chinesecarbon copy of an original
likethe ones being built today with chinese carbon copied parts.
The value of this car is in that original 1978 picture of the last time
fast cars wereactuallyfast...
The value is in putting this car to as raced and pictured with all the original parts that
are still boxed away. Granted sometimes it is nice to see the way they came from the
factory. But its time we see how the cars really were 5 years down the road from
new, with all the freckles and the little factory defects.. A true example of mass production.
It was back thenWE TOOK PRIDE IN EVERYTHINGAMERICA BUILT.
You see this is where the real values are in these type cars. Those are the
real memories we have of our childhood and youth. And the amount of ebay views
substantiate that...I say if you build it the way they really were they will come to see it...

What a find and lucky hound that person would be...

These cars were considered unusuals because of the odd color carpet options...So if they did not sell right away the dealers would change the interiors out to a more attractive option so it would not sit on the showroomfloor ..The TA I have had that very thing happen.They pulled the orange carpet and consoleAnd changed it to a black carpet no console option..So when your checking carsThe only way to be sure you have that special option is by build sheet or PONTIAC HISTORICAL SERVICES... ..Put your bid in for your chance to own a clear titled Red 1973 Trans Am with the only orange carpet ever built ...
