1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Vehicle Description 1973 Pontiac Firebird This is a rare opportunity to own a 1973 Trans Am with a documented 1-owner history straight back to the original build sheet, window sticker, and dealer invoice from Mike Murray Pontiac in Charleston, SC. Finished in stunning Buccaneer Red with the iconic black-and-gold screaming-chicken hood decal, this Trans Am presents in outstanding condition inside and out, riding on all-original sheet metal and floors with no rust or rot. Under the "455" callout hood scoop sits a 455 V8 crate engine, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw, visceral driving experience that makes these cars legendary. The exhaust has been upgraded to a Flowmaster dual system for a throatier, more aggressive tone while retaining the factory-style dual-exhaust routing. The car also benefits from an upgraded suspension that sharpens handling without sacrificing the classic muscle-car feel, and is equipped with power steering and power brakes for confident, comfortable driving. Factory air conditioning keeps things cool on warm days, a rare and desirable option on these cars. Inside, the saddle-tan leather bucket seats and console are complemented by a body-color-matched dash, a factory gauge cluster, and a period-correct Alpine cassette stereo upgrade. The floor mats still carry the Pontiac arrowhead logo, and "TRANS AM" script is present on the rear deck and quarter panels. Best of all, the numbers-matching original motor is included with the sale, adding tremendous value and authenticity for the next owner. The car also comes complete with an extensive binder of original paperwork — including the factory build sheet, retail order, vehicle invoice, emissions warranty booklet, and new vehicle inspection form — documentation that's exceptionally rare to find intact after 50+ years. A true survivor-grade Trans Am with the right combination of drivetrain, options, and paper trail — ready for its next caretaker.
