Re: Slightly rough 72 Trans Am on ebay
 

Gotta love ebay dealers:

"Unrestored, not running. Missing right cylinder head, intake manifold, carburetor, and air cleaner. Clear title. Very few unrestored 1972 Trans Ams left! A rare chance to own one of these cars."

Let me get my calculator...
Original color code: 11 11 = white, not blue
one 7F6 cyl head... $1000
Intake manifold and heat risers... $1500
Carburetor... $2000
Air cleaner and shaker unit... $2000

eternally optimistic seller...priceless

Give me first dibs! What's your carb's part number? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
If I recall correctly wasn't your 72 the nice one from a while back on ebay that was sold new here in NJ back in 72??
Seriously though, the Pontiac stuff like carbs, distributors, intakes etc., have gone crazy simply because the 72 model year was cut in half due to the UAW strike. But all the date code correct Pontiac stuff from the rare cars, especially the RAIV's and 455HO's are getting (have gotten) really expensive.

I cant stress it enough if your'e going to buy one of these Pontiacs make sure it's complete. Mine was 98% complete minus correct carb and distibutor and I paid $1000 for a restored, correct, original 1972 build-date, 4-speed 7042273 carb 2 years ago and $550 for the correct 1112126 distributor last year (it was the only one I've ever seen for sale)

Steve, that was the one. I got a spare 455HO block, heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds with it. I'm still searching for the correct AC bracket though.

Check this out. How's this for incredible timing to verify my price estimates:

Here's another very rusty 72 T/A 455 HO with auto, a/c for sale, no reserve. Looks like original motor (maybe). At least it has the original 7F6 round port heads and intake and even the impossible-to-find 455HO rear a/c bracket. Very late VIN number, maybe one of the last to leave the factory before the GM strike ended the 72 model year in April 72.
