Frame-Off Rebuild: A 1971 Pontiac Trans Am 455 H.O. Hits the Market

A 1971 Pontiac Trans Am equipped with the 455 H.O. engine has surfaced for sale in Camas, Washington, following what the listing describes as a complete nut-and-bolt restoration. The car is being offered through Craigslist at an asking price of $137,000, or best offer.

The advertisement has been live for nine days. Beyond the cash figure, the seller has indicated a willingness to consider trades, though only for certain vehicles rather than any car offered.

For collectors who follow Pontiac’s early second-generation Firebird lineup, a freshly rebuilt example with the high-output 455 under the hood tends to draw attention. This one sits at the upper end of the pricing spectrum for the model, which places it squarely in serious enthusiast territory.

Details beyond the restoration claim and the asking price are limited in the listing itself. Interested buyers in the Pacific Northwest would need to reach out directly to learn more about the build, documentation, and what specific trades the seller has in mind.
