1973 Pontiac Trans Am | 1 of 146 Brewster Green | FrameOff Restored | Numbers Matching
The Overview: “The Finest in the Country?”
Finished in the legendary Brewster Green (Code 48), this is one of only 146 examples produced in this one year-only color. Famous for its appearance in the John Wayne film McQ, the Brewster Green Trans Am is widely considered the “Holy Grail” of 1973 production. This specific example has just emerged from a comprehensive Frame-Off Restoration and has seen fewer than 100 miles since completion.
