If I read correctly only 2,500 of the SS Chevelle's were built in 73. 600 with a manual 4 speed. That is a drop in the bucket for Chevy sales numbers. The below Hemmings article says trim parts are rare given low numbers. Not sure if that count is all SS's or just the 454. Regardless, not many.
245/375 performance figures and that is net hp not gross like before 72. 15.5 quarter. That's fast for 1973 and being an "old" full sized car @ 4,000 lbs.
The Trans Am 455 SD was 290/390 with 14.0-ish second quarters. Far more rare.
On a side note: 8.5 MPG for the Chevelle.
