1973 Pontiac Trans Am Maintenance at V8 Speed & Resto Shop
This 1973 Pontiac Trans Am was restored at a different shop, but out customer brought it to us to complete some final details.   It's a beautful Buccaneer Red car, powered by a Butler-built 455.. and then some.   We performed some maintenance on the car, and most recently, added a Holley Sniper EFI system and a GearVendors Overdrive.   The goals were better driveability and lower cruising RPM on the highway.   The Sniper and GearVendors units did the trick!   Now this car cruises fast and easy, and looks awesome doing it!
