Don Kennedy, Mesa, AZ., raced a SD-455 in his SS/GT Gen III Firebird for years. Tremendous torque monster! In the end he raced it with the "new" Pontiac 428 which is even faster yet. I believe Don once owned a SD-455.

An old friend I haven't seen in 10+ years has a '74 Formula SD-455. It has to be one of the butt-ugliest ones built. It's a root beer brown light metallic color with a half vinyl top (the rear section). I can't remember if it was brown or black, I'm thinking brown. It was a loaded cruiser with auto trans, 3.08 gears, power everything. I can't recall the exact mileage on it but it was really low, well under 20K. In fact, I never saw Dave drive the car. I think he took it out maybe 1x per year.

Always wanted a '73 SD-455. Brewster Green looks pretty good on those!
