Just thought i'd share my latest ride....she's a 73 trans am bull nose with the 455 (7.4L). had the opportunity to buy it last month, was skeptical as i've had a few american cars of this era and they can rust but this one upon close inspection was as new and all numbers matching! she was bought from a company called best of automotive in the states and has now been all registered/taxed/sva'd and drives and sounds awesome!
couple of issues with leaking brake cylinders and stuff related to sitting about too much so after enjoying it for a week she's off to my trusted american car mechanic in omagh to get fully sorted for the summer! here's also the sales video from best of show if anyones interested!

cheers and see you all on the pistonhead run!!

So, the question is:

"Does she diff bai!?!"

Nice looking motor, is it LPG'ed or do you just run it on the juicy stuff?
