Not sure what the exact breakdown is, however from much research,  a 1973 Pontiac Trans Am Super Duty Brewster Green Completely Numbers Matching 4speed with Bravo Custom Cloth Beige Interior is very rare.  Perhaps one of 2 or 3 produced by Pontiac with this unique interior.  You may see a black interior Brewster green 4speed SD once in a great while, however a 4speed custom cloth interior SD such as this may only come up for sale once in a lifetime.

Owned by one family for almost 30 years, the 36k original miles is documented through various minor service and maintenance receipts, as well as hand-written notes (including washes) kept in little memo pads.  I have 2 large folders full of documents ranging from old original owner dealer paperwork, past registrations, insurance cards, bills of sale,  to vintage car show flyers and SD-related paper notes passed between father and daughter.
The condition of the original interior and other components are also a testament to the mileage.  The dash is still soft to the touch.

Options are:  Bravo beige custom cloth corduroy and vinyl interior with horse-collar seats,  courtesy/convenience lighting, roof drip rail moldings, decor door and hood moldings, radio, electric rear window defroster, honeycombs.  I do have the PHS posted on the web link.  The car is also listed in the SD Registry.

Numbers matching throughout including born with block, trans, rear, heads, intake, carb, distributor, original exhaust manifolds, etc. Original fasteners, clamps, clips, correct date coded wires, correct GM hoses, and routing lines.
The car is, and always was, very dry and has been fully repainted once.  The engine bay was  detailed to compliment.  Hardware was replated in correct finishes.  Chrome and bright trim was redone as well. Date coded glass is all original.  The car still has GM paper tags on the underside. 

Details large and small:

GM NOS Latex Weatherstripping
Triple Chrome Plating
Correct Welting with Flattening Agent, like the original molded sheen - not clear coated
"Hairy" Grey Intake Ducting Hose
Restored Replated Hood Latch
Correct Billboard Style Decals

NOS Honeycomb Wheel caps and Trim Rings

Original Interior, including carpet with exception of headliner which was replaced with correct NOS material.  A few beige aged panels too were changed to blend with the extremely well- preserved original appointments.  I also added a rear speaker and used the correct mesh package tray that is very easily, and cheaply corrected if desired.  The interior still has that comforting, honest old car smell.

Correct Power Beam headlamps
Correct GM SD Exhaust and Muffler
Original Trunk with Original Splatter Paint
Dated Coded Wide Oval Spare mounted on Original Paint Original Honeycomb Wheel
Born-with honeycombs have excellent original paint, however I've boxed them and restored a set to perfection to better compliment the fresh paint.

Excellent, extensive documented pedigree and provenance. Along with the original owner paperwork,  is a sign-of-the times salesman's ashtray from the original dealership, Ranken Pontiac in Easton, Pennsylvania

Entered into the SD Registry very early on - original Dot-Matrix Printouts from late 80's.

The car was also featured in a 1993 book, Muscle Car Color History, Firebird and Trans AM 67'-94'.  The same photo is seen on the old Firebird Gallery website ( see bottom of the page)...http://www.firebirdgallery.com/73lot1.htm
The car was ordered without the hood bird. As I prefer the long, unbroken hood-line to the nose, I chose to leave the small nose bird off, as is seen in the vintage pic. I do have a new one ready to go.
 
Scott Tiemann of Supercar Specialties in Michigan did the engine work as I took over ownership in  2007. There was an oil pressure issue, and at that time we thought it best to go ahead and go through it all.  I have saved any unused, original components as well.

 As you may know, the majority of frame-off restorations are necessary due to rust, collision damage, gross neglect, or tragic customization.
This car was not frame off restored, as it was unnecessary and unwarranted.

Beautiful, deep PPG base coat clear coat repaint on an exceptionally dry example with well-worn paint.  Factory paint processes were followed, whether it be painted over door strikers and trunk hinge bolts, or fender air extractor grills finished in black phosphate, etc... Any and all work was approached with dedication to, and respect for original details.  Original Date codes and part numbers are evident on the factory sheet metal.  The car has retained its born with fenders, core support, doors, deck lid, and hood.  Quarters too are original and untouched.

I chose to refresh the car while retaining as much originality as possible.  The end result is a 73' Super Duty 4 speed with its soul intact; a unique honest, balanced product, comfortable with both its past and its gleaming revival.

The beastly 1973 Super Duty powerplant and the refined, well-appointed deluxe interior represents the pinnacle of Pontiac design and performance achievement.  Hemi-car grade acceleration with luxury interior comforts.  The car is a pure pleasure to drive.
