And it does not state it is a Numbers Matching Engine, but says it comes with a 73 455 engine. Also that is alot of rust for a NM car. It could be a nice car, but with the work it needs I think $28K is at least 2X what its worth.

It's obvious the seller doesn't know Pontiacs very well, especially TA's. The std. 455 for '73 in the TA was the same lo-po 455 4-bbl you could get in any body style that year. He's confusing his ad by calling it an HO like its predecessors in 71-72 and the 75-76 455 HO (even though not real HO engines either). He even calls the scoop a "hood bubble"...geez!

They refer to the shaker scoop as a "hood bubble"... so of course the 455 is a HO..

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
