Default 73 TA with 455

I wonder if there is any way to find out how many 73 455 TA still around?

I just bought one, numbers matching motor trans carb, but it needs restored.
Still runs needs driverside 1/4 panel, rest of car is pretty solid.

I know of a local 1973 Trans Am 455 4 speed car that was red with tan interior from the factory but is being restored to be red with a black interior. So that makes 10.

I've got one too. What number are we at? Norwood, are you keeping track?

BTW, I took my seven-year-old to the Good-Guy's Summer Get-together today. There were over a thousand cars on display there. Not one T/A!
Must have seen over a hundred first gen Camaros.
I did chat with the owner of an orange GTO conv. He said his car in pictured here somewhere.

Maybe that was a silly question to ask? I do know people are starting to get good money for these early birds, but of course I would never sell mine. I restored a 68 firebird about 10 years ago and still have it, so this 73 TA will be my second full restore project.

I've got a red 73 455 4-spd and a red 73 SD455. There is also a red 4-spd about thirty miles away from me. I knew of a bunch of other ones, but who knows where they are now.

Ok, so if I did my math correctly that’s 19 including wwilder9’s, so that would make it an even 20 including my Roundy port car.

I am trying to bring one back to life. It is numbers matching, red with black deluxe interior. That brings us to 21.
