No A51 on the option list for 1973. I'll try and attach the order form 516 that was sent with the PHS paperwork.
However, I think I figured it out. At the top of the wholesale car order form lists the (D) LeMans or (F) LeMans Sport Coupe. There are 4 (D) models and only 1 (F) model. If you want the (F) model then you need to order the W70 Sport Option which isn't listed on the order form but shows up on the Billing History Card/Manifest (whatever you want to call it...)
Once you order the W70 Sport Option package, then you get to choose between bench or bucket seats. That choice is made when the interior color is selected. In our case, code 571 was chosen which is Burgundy for Bucket Seats. (The code for Burgundy Bench Seat is 575...)
I presume this means the only way to get bucket seats in a 1973 LeMans is to order the Sport Coupe (F37). There must be a different order form for the Luxury LeMans and Grand Ams since those aren't even discussed on this form.
I further presume that it's possible to order the W62 GTO and WU2 GT package on the (D) model which only the bench seat is available.
The options list on our car is strange. The person who ordered this car specifically went to the trouble to order all the GTO options except the hood and decals.....and they paid $133.00 more to do it (vs simply checking the W62 option for $368.00). Then they ordered many of the GT options less the GT identification. They even ordered the body stripe kit D98 separately (the stripe that is listed as part of the GT package....)
I guess they were going for the stealth approach. ?
