Default Re: 1973 SD Trans Am with 1774 miles

I'm sure it's neat to see this fantastic Survivor '73 Super Duty 'Bird sitting next to C-Lill's other amazing Survivor......the 70 1/2 super-low-mileage Z/28! Probably the best and two most significant 2ND Generation GM F-Bodies on the planet! I gotta agree with the general consensus that the '70 Z/28 was probably the best Z/28 ever made (arguably, I'm sure!) and the '73 Trans Ams have alway held onto a slight edge styling wise with that beautiful front nose over the slant-nose '74 models. I think the only other 2ND Gen. Bird that would come close in significance is one of the extremely rare 1970.5 Ram Air IV cars and because they are so rare, I'm not even sure if a textbook, super low mileage example even exists.

Robert Lozins 1970 Ram Air IV T/A that was auctioned off by Mecum is the only one that comes to mind. 21,000 miles, he bought it off the original dealer in the 80s or 90s, it wasn't even licensed for the road - they ran it on a dealer certificate or something(?). One repaint, by that same dealership with NOS stripes applied. That was about the only work ever done to the car.

But anything approaching this '73 car in a 70.5 RAIV would be a cool find too.

Great find Mr. Lillard.
