Default 73 GTO on ebay

Not mine...I think the seller is being a bit optimistic about the rarity.

That car has been on several time's already. I did'nt realize PHS had the break down for 73 GTO's and the options list to say that a car is possibly 1 of 5 in that color combo !!!!!

You are correct Pontiac doesn't have the color or option break down for the 73 GTO's or any of the cars. It''s a bit better for the cars built in Canada but still not able to have a break down like he's stateing. All you get is break down by engine & trans. He just trying to build up the car for sale. But that car has been for sale for a long time on different spots. Hopefully the buyer will know better . The price is good if it's in good shape but you can't see by 3 pics with no pics of the inside or trunk , or the underside of the car. Not even a pic of the engine.

He says it has no power steering. I didn't know you could get one without power steering in these years.

No power steering, brakes, door locks or windows. Strangely optioned for a '73 intermediate...

Not really P/B & P/S were still options even in the 73 modles. I've had 2 73's that didn't have sterring or brakes. They ended up just being parts cars but they didn't have it.

This same car has been listed FS on Pittsburgh CL several times. Just checked and old or current CL ad no longer posted. At least the FSlink above has higher # of pix for lookey-loos.

#1 issue / low hanging fruit: Noting the front bumper license plate area bend & "nose down" bumper misalignment...

That's Horst's point - Pontiac didn't break it down.

Still, he gets some things wrong, such as the 187 he mentions is not Coupe production but simply Coupe manual tranny production.

I hope that wasn't the only reason you parted them out, it is fairly easy to add both to a car.

Yeah... that stood out to me, too.

I find the fact that it's a 4-speed with no A/C, no PS, no PB to be pretty neat, though. Auction has ended with no bids. Wonder if it sold...
