1973 T/A
pretty nice 1973 survivor car here....looks to be very well preserved i'd say, tho i do wonder if the front valance has been replaced. thought *all* 73's had a plastic valance?....

gorgeous car! But look at that rear wheel well - was there a spot weld quota on the line that day? Sheesh

Valance is a replacement metal unit and those spot weld look correct. The weird thing is the undercoating or lack there of.
When they sprayed that sticky stuff it went every where including springs, shocks, drive line...? |

Interesting it shows on the window sticker that it went to zone 7 dealer 991, and the other stuff shows Red Holman as the dealer.
It must have been a zone car, be nice to see the PHS on it.

another thing that caught my eye is the fitted trunk mat, standard interior cars would not have had this originally. must be a Dealer/Owner add on???

I'm probably in the minority, but I like the whitewall tires. That is one neat car- too bad it left Michigan. Nice to see they put a transverse muffler instead of the turbos.

Pretty neat car.....perhaps the "ultimate" survivor 73 T/A?
Other than the exhaust,shocks,front springs,trunk mat, lower valance and front brake pads it looks to be pretty much the way it left the factory..... Interesting color combination.....pretty "reserved" for a T/A.... and NO big chicken..... For ME....any white Trans am with a rubber nose and chrome rear bumper NEEDS to have blue stripes.....JMO

Looks to be a very nice car. I wish that they wouldn't have sprayed Armour All on everything though......

The set of whitewalls on the white 73 survivor at T/A Specialties are Uniroyal Steel Belted Radials. That is certainly a beauty but it is irritating that they slathered on all that KY Jelly on the tires and engine compartment. It makes it really hard to see the details of the components. The original rust proofing really saved that car, though. The second owners service booklet notes that he replaced the shocks in 1979 at 10,000 miles. I guess they kept the original spirals and reinstalled them. Wise decision. Most of the polyethylene valances were replaced under warranty within the first weeks or months of ownership since the majority of them arrived already cracking. Some never even made it past dealer prep. Last edited by njsteve; 11-05-2014 at 10:04 AM. |

I'm siding with Brewster on this one....But if you are able to confuse me facts.....I'm listening.
So far,I've checked my 73 dealer album/order guide and there is NO mention of radials in the Firebird tabbed pages that I could see..... The 73 Fleet guide shows whitewalls and an order code......VJ GR7015 W/W steel belted radial ply ...optional on Trans am or 342...which is Y99 (on Formula) Pontiac Selling Facts.....Sept 21/72 and March 15/73 both show GR7015 WW as optional on Trans am ONLY.....but ALSO show them as being optional on the Y99 Formula handling package,with NO sidewall specified..... Perhaps the white letter radials were a Y99 Formula deal ONLY? I DO have some more loose price /option pages to look at later....perhaps they will shed some light on the subject....

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.
