JonW Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I recently purchased this pristine, original 1973 Pontiac GTO from the gentleman who special-ordered it new. It has 7000 actual miles and is all original. In fact, it still had the original 48-year-old tires on it when I received it. It's an amazing time capsule. It's a 400 4-speed. Even though it does not have bucket seats, air or power steering, it still had a 2-page window sticker. All the little doo-dads like bumper rub strips, bumper guards, floor mats, various moldings, etc all added up. I just got it out of a friend's shop. He added power steering, changed all the fluids and rubber brake lines, tuned up the carb, and replaced the radiator. I put repro Goodyear PolyGlas GT tires on it. Now it's time to get it detailed and start enjoying it. We have a regional Pontiac show in a few weeks that I will enter. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeventhSon Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A great score - congrats! I drove a friend's GTO convertible with a 400 4 speed (although a couple of years earlier than yours) and it would flat out fly! Have fun with that great car!

I was very impressed ! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 JonW that is a beautiful GTO. Really nice that it is a 4 speed car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Beautiful original car!! I really like the hood air intakes that Pontiac used on their GTO's that year. Also, some factory performance wheels got a little too outrageous for my tastes, but I always thought those wheels looked great on that year of GTO. Congrats! So, will you be selling your pretty Cougar to help finance your new car?😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonW Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 The Cougar belongs to the wife, and she did recently sell it to buy a 1991 Jaguar XJS V12. She favors the European cars, I like the American iron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Jon, just saw this post. Fellow Pontiac enthusiast. Great looking car. I really like that model year GTO and a 4 speed to boot! What part of the country are you in? Theres a pretty good all pontiac show in PA near lancaster each year, happened last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
