The '71 - 72 455 HO T/A.
Article from Pontiac Mag Feb 1985.
What a great car, would love to own one. 480 Ft Lb Tq and .83 G in the corners - Impressive -stump pulling torque. That is what matters on the street
Not "very" Rare at 3402 total produced, with 1353 Manuals, but who wouldn't want one to show off!
I don't hardly ever see one at the many car shows here in MI.
Yeah - there were 455 "HO's" supposedly in 75-76 but at 4000 lbs and ~200 HP, the glory days were long gone. My Bro had a '76 455, and I and my '77 Bandit, and all was still cool given the stickers on the hood scoop, even at the anemic 200HP ratings..
Check out the '"Lady 'Bim" in black in the photo shoot. Guess that was hot in the '80's.....
