Think this is legit?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Pontiac...m=262712672584
Shouldn't the block be stamped X8? Wish it showed the engine. Seems like a good price if it's real. SD |

Without X in vin...probably not. Without shaker hood..probably not. Not showing phs with 455 SD engine...probably not
Still a 455 Formula with RA isn't a bad 73 Formula...nice color combo and looks complete for a non matching car?

XA is a '73 455 engine and came w/4X heads (like auction states). Not a SD455 engine. Car came with a 400 engine originally. I don't know why he's calling it a SD455.

I would say no. He calls it a surviving car but has had a lot of work done to it. Shows it to be a 400 4-bbl and states it has a period correct 455. At least he was up front with some of his information, but doesn't know what he is describing since it all contradicts itself. Besides the fact that if it was a true SD, it wouldn't have the twin scoop hood.

I love the color combo on that one. The formula scoops actually look better on that car and I think they work better too...but as stated, not an SD with those twin scoops. Nice car though, love to have it.

It's amazing the number of rare Pontiacs on eBay with zero documentation.

Yes, says Tribute, but they were under the impression that the 455 was an SD originally, or that all 455's are SD's or HO's, quite common nowadays

Pontiac should have built the SD like this, this hood.
Like to see underside, ( UGH>>> "Front frame rails are excellent, has frame extenders professionally installed " ( big No sale for me) I bet there are other AC components missing... Seller is crazy stupid to advertise as anything to do with a SD.. a Real WU3 car is as rare in 73 anyways... he should get 25 though

This guy is definately fishy - he shows NADA values for an SD, numbers for an SD, and bases his value on an SD...
It's a nice car, but more better pictures of the engine compartment would be nice. IMHO, a factory intake, and a well pictured/detailed engine compartment with ALL period correct bits should make this car get more, but alas, it's being sold as a nice looking driver, with apparently little detail under hood... What's everyone's opinion on the spoiler bird being on the nose? (I think it's too much)

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.
