1972 brought little changes to the Trans Am, though more action happened under the hood, where the 455 HO itself received a few refinements that were more than welcome for a model whose popularity was on the rise.
The 455 HO was almost entirely similar to its predecessor, yet in addition to the standard 300 horsepower, it was now upgraded to 415 pound-feet (562 Nm) of torque.
The same engine is powering the Trans Am that we have here, though this time, it also comes with a few surprises that make it quite a compelling purchase.
For example, the matching numbers original engine under the hood not only works just properly, but it also comes with really low mileage. The odometer indicates just 38,783 miles (62,415 km), and the owner guarantees they’re all original.
In fact, eBay seller cat3roady says most of the car is original anyway, though, judging from the photos, there’s a new stereo installed in the car. “A rare factory 8-Track tape player has been added to the stock-appearing stereo (original radio and A/C compressor included),” the seller explains.
Other than that, the car is supposed to come in nearly mint condition, and the photos included in the listing confirm this is a Trans Am looking perfect. It’s hard to find something that needs to be fixed and improved on this Pontiac, and what’s more, it also comes with a series of extras, including complete documentation and the original build sheet.
Everything is in working condition, and even the air conditioning blows cold air, so theoretically, this Trans Am is ready to become a daily driver. However, it’s pretty clear its place should be away from the sun and rain in someone’s collection.
Remember when we said a bit earlier that almost everything makes it a compelling purchase? Well, the price is one of the exceptions, as the car is listed for sale on eBay with a $105,000 fixed price tag. Some other offers are also accepted.
