Mine has 2 dates on the PHS, 7/26/74 and 7/31/74. I'm assuming the first is the build date and the second, its shipping date. The blue 74 auto that recently sold on ebay is the last one listed in the SD455 Registry, with a build date of sometime in Aug, 74. Not saying that this is the last one built, just the last one listed in the Registry.

Oh and if you ever hear of a 73 Buc Red, 4 sp Basket case... I'm interested. (dreamer wanting a 4sp sd)

Having owned one ( 74 SD455 T/A auto ) would'nt mind another.

I have had my 74 SD for 18 years and I drove it around the block this weakend and it is off to the paint shop for some paint work. It has not been driven for 28 years.

Post up some before and after shoots for us all to enjoy, Ram Air 1967!

Wareagle, we all have had cars (or things) we wished we had never sold. I think of that every time the thought inters my mind about my two cars.
At least you have some pictures and memories to remember, thats more then most.

[RAM AIR 1967]

This is what my car looks like to day.

[Brewster]

Popular color combo for sure and I would imagine your going to keep it the same??????

Looks like a solid car and should be worth ever cent invested!
LOL,
Brew

Buccaneer red with red trim and white seats. I am just making it a good driver and fun car.

I bought my 1973 SD TA red 4 speed in 77 and my green auto in 1980 . The red one came from my area (Buffalo). Has anybody on the board had one longer ? My red one has been repainted but everything else untouched and the green auto is Original paint and tires .Don't have either one on the road this year , I flip flop back and forth with the judge and my 69 bird and this year I'm driving the Judge conv. but The SD is the most fun and always been my favorite .The 4 speed is killer .

[RAM AIR 1967]

I have a 1956 Corvette that I bought and sold in 1970 and got it back in 1973. I went for a 85 mile drive on Sunday in the Corvette and this the most fun car I have.

New HPP features a "pure stock" '74SD in the "pavement pounders" series. Nice running car, auto trans, utilizing custom ground cam and 3.90 gears.

Cool--can't wait to read that one--in a earlier Shootout NUNZI brought out his 74 SD455
T/A -- I think it ran deep in the 12's.
Brewster--yes fun times--click second even at part throttle the headlights would sweep the sky--3400 high stall conv. -full manual valve body.

I bought my SD in 1990, and my first Firebird (72 Formula 4 speed) in 1973. I agree about the SD being the most fun. I would rather drive the SD than my 69 GTO convert, no comparison on power & handling, of course the GTO draws a bigger crowd.

Hello, I'm making my first post here and I look forward to future use of your forum. I just came across the forum and I am hoping since the super duty comminity is not too large that someone here could help me locate a super duty owner from the past. In 1981 I bought a super duty trans am from a person in the eastern part of nebraska. I don't remember if it was lincoln or omaha but it was one of the larger cities. The guy had a collection of cars, some super duties, some gto judges and some z28s. It's probably a longshot but I thought he might still be into super duties and someone here might know him and know how to get in touch with him. Thanks for any help you can offer for me.

Welcome to the forum EPsSD! If you don't get a positive response from this forum, here are a few suggestions:

If you still have the SD or at least the VIN, you could try contacting the Nebraska DMV. If you are lucky, they may still have records of previous owners. I have traced ownership on all of my cars & in one case was able to trace ownership through three states and fifteen owners, back to the new car dealer, and even got a copy of the "manufactures statement of origin". Unfortunately, some states purge there records which leads to a dead end, as is the case for me with my 69 GTO convertible. Several years ago I started a thread (3011818) with a full description of the GTO hoping that someone would know who owned the car between its sale at Royal Pontiac in May 1969 and where the trail picks up in early 1972. Luckily, when I bought my SD it came with a PHS and letters from previous owners. Good Luck with your search!

My 74 SD came from San Antonio, Texas in 1980 or 81 and had a after market Landau 1/2 top. Do you Texes boys rember this car Buccaneer Red with Red trim and White seats.

Thank you SD Formula for the welcome and the advice. I still have the car but my problem is that I never titled it when I brought it home. Then I lost the title I got with the car. A foolish move I know. I have contacted nebraska with the serial number but they say due to privacy issues they can't give me the name of the current owner. The guy might live in Iowa now. When I bought my car I remember he had a lot of garage spaces and still had 5 or 6 trans ams and a z28 that had to be outside. He told me he was building a storage barn on a friend of his farm in Iowa so maybe he has moved there by now. I might end up going through one of those title services. I hope not though.
