Default 1974 SD-455 Trans Am - celebrity owned

Well, this one surprised me! Anyone remember Christina Ricci? She has a LONG list of film credits, such as Mermaids (1990), The Addams Family (1991), Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998), Monster (2003), more recently Smurfs 2, and about 40 other feature movies.



Who would have guessed that she owned a 1974 SD-455 Trans Am?

I think a lot of girls/women with big incomes buy things their boyfriends or relatives what them to buy.

On the other hand there are women who just love fast cars and like driving them. I was incredibly lucky to have married one.

Without knowing much about what these SD cars are worth, I'd say that is a very fair price. Could it be reflective of being an automatic?
I wouldn't mind the auto but the A/C I could do without.
The celebrity in question doesn't mean squat to me. I don't think I've seen any of her movies.

6 1/2 days left on the auction - too early to make any guesses on the price.

Lots of stuff not right with it. Just saying. I'd want eyes on it before I spent money.

Why does the window sticker say 400 4bbl V8 engine?

It's not an auction.
Buy It Now is under $50,000. That too much for a clean documented SD?

400 is the standard engine. The option list to the right lists the optional engine. "X" VIN on the window sticker, but I would want to see the actual VINs on the car to confirm.

That's just there under the list of Standard Equipment.
SD 455 is listed in the options.

The Ricci car has been on Rick Dieter's Trans Am Specialties site for a while now at 54,900. Looks like a nice car, but SD's are way to much for my wallet to worry about.

Look at that driver's door and rocker.

I see some apparent issues there but hard to tell on a photo. Looks like a bit of a dip at the lower door and the gap looks a little wavy.. I know these '70s Trans Am doors can look pretty wavy even from the factory...especially at the top of the doors.

Based on Google Earth it looks to be a storage building of some kind.
