I like that car, but it needs a ton of detail work done to it to make it even remotely worth the asking price.

This car was also posted on the A-Body site . Someone else found it to & the ad says 455 HO , I did send the guy a message to ask what he ment by 455 HO. I don't think he's going to answer me as I did want to know if it my by chance have had an early modle 455 HO engine in it . Maybe he put an HO engine in it , but he has not answered me back yet.. IMO I think he just put that in there thinking someone would think it was better then it is to get a bigger dollar for it.

My father had a 73 455 gto bench seats auto factory gold color. Would this be a rare car?

Just being a real 73 GTO makes it rare, so if you have the car still & it's in good shape keep it & bring it back to life. If you don't have it but can get it back I'd say do it as any 73 GTO is rare & the 455 cars are the few that were made the few of that year. There were more of the 73 GTO with 400's in them. But again to answer your question any 73 GTO is rare as they only made 4807 total GTO's in 73. ANY PIC"S ?????? New or old.

It's a NASA HOOD not a naca hood.

People who feel the need to correct someone on the NASA/NACA thing all the time should look at the awful grammar and spelling in their posts.

Here are pics of the aforementioned GTO supplied to me by makinchips:







Looks like a pretty low optioned, Valencia Gold Sport Coupe GTO. Thanks for allowing me to share these photos.
