That's the Bill Mitchell 1973 Trans Am 455. The car was painted black and gold, then had an SD-455 installed. Pontiac updated it to the new 1974 nose and tail and sent it out on the auto show circuit. In 1976, the same car was updated again with a 1976 nose and tail, and they cut the rear window for the wraparound glass. The 1976 version of this car would be the one they used as a model for what would become the 1976 Trans Am Special Edition.
