This car is being re-listed due to the bogus bidder- curtmike8! PLEASE don't bid if you can't buy! To all of the legitimate inquiries and bidders in the first auction last week, THANKS! This car is the real deal- my phone number is in the ad and I have plenty of references- please call me! To all of the talkers, scammers, pushy emailers- DON’T waste your time or mine! This car WILL NOT leave my possession without a wire transfer. I have added a BUY-IT-NOW through Ebay- or just meet my reasonable reserve and wait it out. So, here we go again…. You are bidding on an amazing, documented, numbers matching, Buccaneer Red 1973 Pontiac Trans Am. A true survivor with just 63,700 original miles, this Trans Am has never been hit- all original tin- no rust, and still retains the original interior AND glass. It was professionally repainted and decaled; completed in March 2012. Runs and drives great with plenty of horsepower. The car was ordered by a gentleman as a graduation present for his daughter on November 1, 1972 (what a great dad!) and delivered to Larry Hopkins Pontiac in Sunnyvale, California on December 20, 1972. This car was in sunny California until 1980, and since then has been in the dry high desert of Central Oregon. The original female owner passed away in 2008, and the car was purchased from her estate in late 2010. Included with the car is all documentation including the original Sales Order, all manuals- including a factory Service Manual-, PHS documentation, the original Blue/Gold California plate (with the Hopkins Pontiac dealer plate frame) and the Gold/ Blue Oregon license plates that have been on the car since 1980. Here’s the all important numbers info: Cowl Tag, top row: ST 73 2FS87 N 024167 BDY 2nd row: TR 246 A51 75 75 PNT 3rd row: 12B WS4 Bottom row: 300567 ‘TR 246’ is the interior code of Black vinyl upholstery. ’75 75’ is the code for upper & lower portions of the cars color- Buccaneer Red. ‘12B’ means the car was assembled the second week of December 1972. ‘WS4’ is the all-important Trans Am code. ‘300567’ is the Fisher Body code. ENGINE: Block number 485428, stamped ‘455’ and ‘73’ with a casting date code of ‘K022’ (11/2/1972). Front of block is a ZC code unit number 0228422. VIN stamp below on the block is numbers matching, 23N105626. This is a RPO L-75 California car and is why the somewhat rare ZC coded block was used (see the pontiacpower website). PHS has confirmed this code was used in the 1973 Trans Am’s and this is the original numbers matching block. Both heads are stamped ‘4X’ and have a date code of ‘K022’, cast the same day as the block- 11/2/1972. These are 2.11/1.66 valves. The following are original parts are in boxes, NOT currently on the car: Intake manifold 492744, date code ‘K012’ (11/1/1972). Carburetor 7043262, date code ‘K2’ or November, 1972.

All emissions parts, including the charcoal canister, are in boxes and not on the car. After leaving California, the engine was rebuilt at about 30,000 miles in 1982 for better performance. A mild cam was installed. Receipts for this work will go with the car. The car currently has a Holley Street Dominator aluminum intake manifold with a Carter AFB carb mounted on it. The engine is currently equipped with tuned headers. The original exhaust manifolds are not with the car.
