Hi, I know it is a low production # car but none of the drivetrain is original to the car. This body is in exceptional condition with no rot. The HO badging only amounts to a Borg Warner 4 speed and a Bonneville 455 motor. Having had a 1970 Trans Am from 1973 to 1985 only to let it go for $600.00 at that time I want another but refuse to pay for one that doe's not have the correct front fenders, headlight bezels, spun dash insert, radio, wheels or paint I won't pay that kind of money. My intentions are a completely stock body with a 1970 454 450 LS6, M21, 9" ford carrier which I have in my possession. This is my last project. Pontiac purists will hate me for this but I just have to do it.Are you sure you want to cut that up?
From what I can find, they only made a total of 857 455 TA’s that year. They made 26,000+ of the 400 TA’s for comparison.
Seems fairly rare. Maybe not high dollar rare and definitely lo-po (200 hp 455 is low, but not compared to it’s comtempories which where sub 200 hp), but still a rare bird….assuming its an original 455 HO TA.
Cool beans man. I was just pointing out it's a low production car, in case you weren't aware. I'm certainly no "purist" either. Doesn't seem to matter what it is, I have to do something to it.Hi, I know it is a low production # car but none of the drivetrain is original to the car.
