I think $27k is an insult for this car, considering that Can Ams have recently sold for similar figures. The SD engine alone is worth $10k plus. Then you factor the nut and bolt restoration that was done to the car. To sum it up, the market right now is full of idiots that have absolutely little to no money to spend on hobby cars. The ones with the cash are in lowball mode, and are trying to net some nice cars for dirt cheap. BTW, this car is a factory 455 auto, not a 4 speed car..

I agree that $27K is insulting, given the level of restoration and the time/money put into it, but like I said...sometimes the sum of the whole is not equal to all of the parts.

The Barrett Jackson car sold for $23,500 in 2006. Yes, it was a strong price for a Olds powered car. The "executive ordered" car on E-bay that sold for $23k in January. Board member WW3's awesome 4 speed Can Am sold for $29k at Carlisle last summer. There have been others in recent memory that have sold in the $20k's. If Blakgoat's '73 SD had a complete functional Ram Air system in place, and an original '73 SD intake manifold it would have definitely garnered more attention and bids. To me, they are the only missing pieces to the puzzle. I wish I had $40k right now, because it would be sitting in MY garage.

Yea, well...apparently the people that DO have the money to part with right now only thought it was worth $27K.

Excellent write-up by Don Keefe about Imran Chaudary's '73 455SD GTO in the latest issue (January 2010) of High Performance Pontiac magazine. Some interesting tidbits about this car from the article.
- car is an original 455 GTO. - over $60K of NOS parts/materials used in the restoration/creation of this car. - the transmission parts used to convert this car from auto to stick came from a '73 4door, 4-speed Grand Am parts car (another rare car). |

That's the 4DR Grand Am I mentioned in the other thread.

One point incorrect in HPP article. The SD455 was canceled for the '73 mid sized cars for emissions controls and costs, not the Oil Crisis, which was when 12 months later, when the 1974's had just came out.
Anyway, the Goat in the article looks great and like it was really made in a factory. I grab any magazine that has 73-77 Colonnades featured. BTW: I'd love to see someone put an SD455 in a '73 Grand Prix, as a '1 of none' tribute car, too! |
