@@lesheath6216 Correct....I believe 'Branigan' was a TV series starring George Peppard, on par w/Peter Falk's "Columbo", "Hec Ramsey" w/Richard Boone, & "McCloud" starring Dennis Weaver.
@@lesheath6216 I've read 2 different stories about the car. One stated a soldier purchased while stationed in Washington State and PCS'd to North Carolina where he totaled the car. Second story said it changed hands several times and is now in the Petersen Collection. Wonder which story is true?
@@jeffreypinder9398 I wish I knew. The story I got was from an older collector, so I can't say definitively. Definitely gives me something to waste some time looking into. I've seen 4 actual Brewster Green cars and hope to own one one of these days
@@lesheath6216 I did a search half way thru the video and came up with both scenarios I mentioned. I know John Wayne was big in Pontiac wagons, having the roofs modified by raising them so he could wear his cowboy hats. If you figure it out, please share. Hope you get your car soon.
Great video, really appreciate your sharing about dry ice treatment of undercoating. Yet, look how so well preserved that undercarriage is...that stuff was worth its weight in gold, even though at the time one hoped it might get them possibly 7-10 years more from the body.
Back in 1979 to 1980 when I saw these 1970 to 1973 T/A for sale, typically the asking prices were $4,500 to $6000 whenever ONE popped up for sale occasionally. Very affordable as was a used Corvette from 1968 to 1972 except much more Corvettes were made in production and available for sale. These 1970 to 1973 T/A were low production. Now these genuine 1970 to 1973 T/A are far and few and $60,000+ to 100,0000+. So who can afford those prices?????🤔 What happened??????🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm not a GM guy, but I still drive a nice '06 GP. I have always believed early TA's were the coolest car ever to be produced. The only reason I ever watched the movie McQ.
Thanks.. about the same here, in 77 TA/ Se/ Hurst Hatches: Ziebart kept salt & moisture in bodies, frame points, etc.. Of course, big tires, etc Chewed some exterior: needing continuous redo…..

Such a gem of a car, so so rare for the era and a tribute to Pontiac's commitment. On anybody's muscle car wish list for sure.
Wow! One of the last true Pontiac muscle cars! Nice to see they didn't all get beat to death back in the day!
The Brewster Green cars are the best of the 73s
Beautiful TA!! This car came from two towns over from me on long Island NY!! Pontiac's always had the style!!!
Have seen your work at MCACN. Unreal paint and body work. Beautiful. 73 TA is another great one from Pontiac.
Beautiful SD455 Great car and great work
My best friend bought one of these in 1974.....Brewster Green, 455 4 spd.....got hammered and hit a telephone pole and totalled it.....
Amazing how the under coating preserved that floorplan. On my Formula the under coating hid all the rust.
Beauty!!!
In my opinion, those Pontiac rally wheels look way better without the trim rings...
Completely agree!! I have always thought that and never heard it said by anyone else. 💪
@@ShelbyBikeBoy The 73 Firebirds came with trim rings. The early 1970 T/A's did not
@@74SD455TA 🤙 Just like em without the rings myself. 🫡
Wow! I thought this car was black. It is gorgeous! Tan interior to boot!
Great car looks like the trans am John Wayne drove in the movie Branigan✌🏿👍
McQ, not Brannigan

@@M21L35'Brannigan' was also a movie JW acted in around '75, where he played a US police detective who went to Great Britain to solve a case.
@@M21L35 George Pepard was in Banacek.
In Brewster Green, no less!!!......perhaps a "survivor" that Lon ("McQ") McHugh drove?
That car was destroyed sadly

Where has this car been all these years ??? Amazing.
Beautiful.
My wish list.
Very nice😊

Super nice car !!
It's a really nice survivor car for sure. Would have been nice to see the interior. Also what is the story about the hood I see no bird?
MCQ!!!!
Had a 70 OO Judge with full undercoating. Is why we sold it.

John Wayne would approve
No interior shot 4 speed?
Love it! But shouldn't it have the little Firebird emblems on the sail panel?
No
That would in the later 70s - like 77 up, I believe.
Lose the BFGs ASAP.
I had one the identical spec . Sold it for $1750.00 in 1983. Bummer!
If you had the VIN, it could be tracked down.

wish I had the money for it ...
