Heard it sold for around 95K? wonder how nice it really was.

You never get the full skinny on these auction cars compared to here and going through the shark tank. Even ebay is more credible, well at least you get a number of pictures to review along with a description.

Brew- the car seemed to be mostly original. Nice interior, engine compartment was fair, but the paint was terrible! The nose had spider cracks and the paint was starting to flake around the rear window.. In my opinion it was a driver quality car.

Went to the monthly Caffeine & Octane in Atlanta last Sunday, I saw an Auto 73 SD Trans Am. The guy bought it in 83 ($6,000 ) from a pilot on the south side of Atlanta. . It was white with saddle? interior. He had it repainted in 87 and later put a disc brake rear in it. The paint looked good for being 25 years old and the interior was very nice. Under the hood could have used some touch up and lose the headers but everything original and in good shape. The old American mags with spinners weren’t bad but the extremely crooked and wrong exhaust tips. (In Lloyd’s words “Wheel Barrow Handles”) would have to go. You never know when a SD will turn up. Sorry no pictures !

Yep - practically NOTHING kills the look of a car than a forked-up exhaust system, IMO.
