JonW Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Here are a couple of photos of my 1973 Pontiac GTO that I acquired almost two years ago. I bought it from the original owner who special-ordered it new. Except for the gauges that he installed, it is an original car. It still had the original tires on it when I received it. I replaced them with correct repro tires. The best part? It only has 7070 actual miles on it. It has so many options that it has two window stickers, yet did not come with air conditioning or power steering. Of the 4806 GTOs built in '73, this is one of only about 1000 with a 4-speed transmission. The color scheme is also unusual. Needless to say, I'm very proud to be the caretaker of this exceptional automobile. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Love it! A four speed in a colonnade is a cool rare thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I have been a pontiac guy forever. Love that GTO! Def a time capsule in a great way. 4 speed with a bench seat is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike "Hubbie" Stearns Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I always liked those long nosed cars. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom M Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Very nice. As mentioned before 4 speed with a bench seat. How awesome is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I love it, but too bad Pontiac didn't go with engine turning (as on the Trans Am) in place of the woodgrain on the dash and steering wheel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jframe Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I have always liked these cars. The older ones get all the attention, but these have a great style, and pre-71 horsepower is only really a compression bump away. However with this one, I would leave it like it is. Sharp ride! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 That body style has aged well in my opinion. That era has grown on me more and more over the years. Great find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
