The 1973 Pontiac Trans Am 455 was a bold statement of American muscle during a transitional era. Powered by a 455-cubic-inch V8, it delivered up to 290hp and immense torque, making it one of the most potent performers of its time. It featured aggressive styling with a 'shaker' hood scoop and a distinctive front-end design. Despite tightening emissions standards and rising insurance costs, the Trans Am 455 maintained Pontiac's performance image. With its combination of raw power, striking looks, and limited production, the '73 Trans Am 455 remains a cherished classic among enthusiasts.

Manufactured in 1973 and imported into the UK in 2015, this handsome example presents well in green coachwork with a contrasting red interior, both of which are in good order as is the engine bay. This 7.5 litre car has a muscular but subtle look and displays SD455 decals on the bonnet air intake scoop. It is unsurprising that the engine roars when fired up and we are told is enormous fun to drive. This classic piece of Americana is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner. Consigned by Dominic Lake
