1973 TA 455SD Pro Touring
« on: July 22, 2021, 05:13:58 AM »
Just looked at the site and see that my prior photos and comments have been lost on the forum.
I'll post some of where the car is when I have time.
Since I don't have any help and at the old age point in my life, I've elected to farm out the
work to nearby shops, and work another year or two to fund the project.

I bought the car new in 73, wanting a SD car, but got talked out of it by a lazy salesman. I've
collected 73 SD parts for 45 years.
I'm seeing now that the SD parts are outdated nowadays and have elected to save them for the purist
with number matching SD cars.
But I am using the 73 SD block and heads on the build.

I do have many original 73 TA parts that I don't need and will be looking to sell if any one is interested :-)
As in control arms, sway bars, gas tank, ac parts, rear diff etc.

As you already know SD parts are not cheap, you should be able to fund your built by selling the parts.

Darryl,

About 40 years ago I purchased a complete SD short block, I think I payed $500.00 but never used it. Sold it to a friend for $500.00, wished I still had it.

What can you tell me about the 1973 TA differential? Should be a 3.08 or 3.42 posi. What kind of condition is it in? Where are you located and how much are you asking for it?

Gone but not forgotten;
1973 T/A 455
1975 T/A 400
1978 T/A W72
1982 T/A cross fire injected
