THE CAR
From the private Pedal to the Metal Vault comes this extraordinary, one-of-a-kind 2017 Trans Am Super Duty 455 — car #11 of only 50 ever built, and the only example finished in 1973 SD Brewster Green over custom white leather interior. This vehicle is not for sale and is proudly preserved as part of our curated private collection of American high-performance icons.
A project that took over 2.5 years to build and an additional year in Germany for TÜV homologation and European road registration, this car represents the absolute pinnacle of custom engineering. Built on the GM Alpha platform, it pays tribute to the legendary 1973–1974 Super Duty Trans Ams — reimagined for the modern era with brutal performance, extreme rarity, and obsessive craftsmanship.
This is #11 of a 50-unit production run, but the only one in the world with this exact configuration and finish. A true one-of-one, built to show what’s possible when history, engineering, and passion collide.
POWERTRAIN
The beating heart of this machine is a hand-built 455ci direct-injection V8, crafted by NASCAR legend Joey Arrington. Designed to deliver over 1,000 horsepower, with potential to exceed 1,200 horsepower, this engine is backed by a custom-built 6-speed manual transmission, and breathes through a full bespoke stainless exhaust system. This is a modern muscle car in its most extreme form — and one that’s already been road-proven with 1,100 miles on the odometer.
