PONTIAC SUPER DUTY TRANS-AM
Information About Pontiac's Hot 455 Cubic Inch
Round Port Wedge Muscle Machine
Welcome Fellow Muscle Car Fans! If you are anything like me, you probably enjoy just about any make and model car from Rat Rod to Muscle Machine. Just the same, you also hold a special place deep in your heart for Pontiacs.

How they slipped it past GM's top brass and the Feds is a story all it's own that I think no other muscle machine can share. It makes the SD 455 Trans Am truly unique among it’s peers as it was born to pound pavement at a time when "Horsepower" was a dirty word.
