73 trans am 455ho......

[irish boy]

Just thought i'd share my latest ride....she's a 73 trans am bull nose with the 455 (7.4L). I know it wont be to everyones taste but I have always loved 2nd gen trans am's having had a couple of rough z28's in the past. Had the opportunity to buy it last month, was skeptical as i've had a few american cars of this era and they can rust but this one upon close inspection was as new and all numbers matching! she was bought from a company called best of automotive in the states and has now been all registered/taxed/sva'd and drives and sounds awesome! i'm getting married in 6 weeks so very much looking forward to leaving the church in one of my childhood dream cars!

Here's a couple of pics and also the sales video from best of show if anyones interested!

cheers!!

Thought it was time for a quick update....the old girl hasn't been getting much use this year for one reason or another but the paint on the engine was faded so I thought a good project would be to paint it in a fresh coat of factory powder blue.....turned out very nice indeed!



and going back in.....


Mot on tuesday morning....fingers crossed.....

Bit of excitement this week, Rihanna filming her new video in northern ireland and the trans am was requested through a friend of mine in the film industry to be in the video, when they saw the car they loved it and ended up spending all day in it and it's the main car in the video!
