I was surprised too that Les had passed away. I haven't seen the SD TA in years. That didn't take long to get the car up for sale.





Apparently they have no interest in the car. I am assuming he just had nobody else to leave it to, so he did his best.

Watching the recent auctions Ray is right about a six figure price tag for documented low milage originals. At Norwalk there was freshly restored one for 62k. Would be nice to keep it in Canada but with the US dollar so high its hard to compete.

Neat car, there's a white with blue stripes and a red interior here in Three Hills, sold new at Kipp Scott Pontiac in Red Deer. It's been around the block a few times but I know the car well, had many a ride and watched many street races with that baby. 74 SD455 auto.

When you mentioned a Red 74 SD-455 Trans Am in the Prairies, well the first think I thought of was Randy Bachman. Back in 1974 Bachman-Turner Overdrive made a promotional film (they didn't call them videos back then) for "You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet". Randy Bachman was at the wheel of a Buccaneer Red 74 Trans Am with white interior, honeycomb wheels and the screaming chicken on the hood.

Not the same car apparently. It should be interesting to see where this car ends up as they have always been collector's items. That one sounds like a real find.

Here's a picture of a picture I took of Les's car, probably around '97.
I'm sure he'd have saved every piece of paper related to the car. He had a bit of an ordeal when he ordered the car, it kept getting turned down/delayed, but he perservered and it finally came through. He was mulling over selling the car back in 98/99, I said back then he shouldn't take any less than 50G for it.

Basically he ordered the sales brochure car, the centre fold out was so cool, I had this on my bedroom wall back in high school.

Funny how just a different engine would drive the price way higher. They were all built on the same assembly line.

I have heard there is another SD-455 1974 Trans Am in Anola, MB also an original owner car also red.  I believe this TA has even lower mileage.

If so, I bet I know which family has it, and if not, they would sure know of it being racers! Cool....

Yup, 13.50 on street tires through the exhaust is nothing to sneeze at even with today's cars.

Although our G8 GT would be very similar performance and knock down double the fuel economy!

We used to have a twin to that car sitting in out drive way years ago.Owner finally decided not to fix it and he sold it for $1500.00.It is weird that a lot these cars seem to pop up low mileage survivors.
