I think your car is nicely optioned, including the lack of bird. The white wall tires are a cool option, too. I like them because I believe they used a thin white stripe on them in '73. Not sure if you can get tires that look right anymore? Might have to have Diamondback "make" them for you.

I didn't think they had a WW GR70-15 tire for '73. Anyone with a picture?

That's a nice looking tire.

As another contemporary data point my '74 Chevelle came with HR70-15 Goodyears with a thin white stripe.

iirc that was the only way to get radial tires on the t/a was the thin white wall

Don't have the pic close at hand, but I recall the Pontiac promo photo that used to come with the PHS paperwork showed a pre-production white Trans Am with pin stripe whitewalls.
