No, not in 1973. it was on the glove box door in 1974, and started on the dash in 75.

Looking for a SD Trans Am or Formula body. Location does not matter. Leads in any condition will be considered, auto or manual OK. Running with non SD engine OK, not running, good shape less engine, bad shape less engine. PM or call me @ 706-831-2034 mark, finders fee will be paid for a completed deal

Are you looking to restore a 73 or 74 SD455 car or make a protourer? If it's the latter you'd be better served by looking for a plain-Jane 73 or 74 Esprit and adding the bolt-on body parts. Not many people are crazy enough to destroy a rare six-figure valued car to make a five-figure pro-touring car out of it, though we have seen that happen in recent years. Just figured I'd ask since you already have a car that would probably run circles around a stock SD already. :-) Or maybe you have an orphan SD455 drivetrain that needs a home?

I have a complete carb to pan SD Y8 code engine I am looking to find a body to install it in. The only mod would likely be a upgrade on the trans to get OD to make it more drivable

Nice!
Any idea what happened to the car it came in originally?

[Hutchinaugusta]

Unfortunately no, it came from an estate sale in Florida so the seller had passed on and not available to question. I actually bought it from another person who bought it from the guy who got it at the estate sale.
With the salt air it is likely the body dissolved back in the 80's and was sent to heaven before the craze hit.
