John - While the 59,xxx is the mileage on the odometer the official documentation with the car shows it has rolled over and exceeds the mechanical limits. That will sync up with what the SD registry shows, so really 159,xxx. BOSA's choice to list it that way is interesting but the paperwork will show the true details. Not my car

Does anyone have a part number for the engine block heater in 1973? My Pontiac plant Brewster SD was born with one!

Thanks!

I was looking at some assembly manual pages. Could be missing a page or two also though.

I had no idea they built Trans Ams at the Pontiac Plant. You learn something new everyday.

Beautiful survivor car. I love these unmessed with originals.

WHAT ARE ARE YOUR THOUGHTS

[Shift'n Gears]

The 73 was a nice car and all there, but needed some freshening up to brig much higher $$. Don't get me wrong it is a nice car and the new owner bought it real well.

The 4 sp TA was real nice and was freshly restored. By far it was the best presented second gen at the auction. However the owner was never around for questions and it did not have the original trans which probably detracted from going higher. But I had heard that the reserve was off the charts so it would not sell anyway. A 73 4sp Cameo White black interior is my dream SD. It was VERY cool!!!

Now while everyone was oogling over the high dollar stuff, there was a base 73 firebird that went across the blocks with 62 miles on the odometer (Yes I stuck my head in ad looked... it was 62 miles). Everything was original including the tires. even had the fuzzy air intake hose.

Love it. I see the HD alternator, but I can't see the rear window defroster. Can you? No honeycombs on the PHS but it's a nice addition.

It's C49 on the PHS..





The defroster switch is on the dash to the right of the cigarette lighter.



You can barely see the grids in this shot:

I believe because this was a no cost upgrade, it would not be listed on PHS invoicing.

And, the side of rear defogger can be seen here too.

This is truly a survivor, and truly a barn find. I owned this car for about 5 days. The owner called me when I had Brewster for sale. I flew out there and made a deal with him. The day before the transport arrived he backed out. I looked it over very carefully and it was all there, including the original exhaust. A few rust spots around the rear window and the front nose was touched up, but that should be ok. One picture in the trunk shows the original Arizona plates that were on the car when new in AZ. There were also several oil change receipts in the center console with mileage and dates recorded.

[Transamric]

Hmmmmmm, I thought this one sold last time. Wasn't the auction ended early then?

[Brewster]

For a car that sat so long it sure is putting on some miles now. Even if there on the net.
Notice those black fender grills !

Greg, whats with the rear profile of the owner, didnt he want his picture taken ?
