I'm trying to talk him into letting me drive it someday. If I promise to clean it when done, he says he might. I certainly wouldn't lean on it of course, but Id love to say I drove a SD 455 at some point in my life. He did start it and it sounds quiet a bit raspier than the typical HO, or 455 I'm used to.
Good question on the paint. Most of his cars are a factory color. Not this one apparently. All I know is its termed the following in a blurb he wrote for his street rod group.
1973 Special Order Paint GTO- 455, 4speed w/ rare Ram Air
What kind of paint would" special order" be? Any color? Maybe another line's color if so desired? Or a color from a previous year? I don't see how that's feasible for GM to do and make money, but who knows?
I'll ask next time I talk to him.
