Looks kinda rough, but not gone. As rare as it is, it would be worth saving.
I can't tell you the last time I saw a 1st gen G/A 4 door, let alone a 4spd G/A 4dr. I saw a 2dr 1973 G/A 4spd car at a local show a few weeks ago & knew it was pretty rare. I snapped some pics of it...

Just to prevent any confusion, the green 4-door photos are not of the car I have looked at. The one I may get, or will at least help my cousin sell, is silver and is in good survivor condition - no rust....
I am still 2500 miles away from the car, but will get photos to share as soon as I can. If it goes up for sale, I will post it here first....

Well *I* would seriously consider buying it. Depending on his price naturally, some people think their car is worth a small fortune ;-)

Alvin -
CDN2PLS2 posted the photo of the green car, not me. I just wanted to clarify that the green car is not the one I looked at. I also posted several times that I am in Alaska, where I live, and the car is not, and I will get photos next time I am in the lower 48. The car has been in the garage for years and years, and is not going anywhere. I will either buy it from my 70 year old cousin or help him sell it. Everyone on this site has been a great help already on the car for me. Thanks to all.

Ok . . . time to get someone to take some pictures for you. You don't have someone there that can take and send you pictures?
Any members in the area?

Okay. I never got around to getting photos, decided not to buy the car, and now the car is up for sale by my cousin. Here is a link to the ad: http://butte.craigslist.org/cto/2176706180.html
If anyone wants the car, give him a call. He is asking $4500. Hopefully someone car pick it up and have a good time with it.

I am continually amazed by how far ahead of it's time Pontiac ALWAYS was. In 1974, 4-door sedan with bucket seats, center console, and manual transmission! It would be another 15+ years before the "sport sedan" became main-stream and popular! Remember the Maximas and Cressidas of the late 80s? Pontiac (again) answered with the 88 Bonneville SSE and then in the 90's finally mainstreamed with the 4-door Grand Prixs, Regal GS, and Impalas. But still no manual trans until ??? Pontiac did it again! The G8..... oh, I forgot, no more Pontiac. (Obama!)

x2, wish I can buy this car. 4dr-4spd cars are cool!

Nope!
NOT COOL!
The reason that these are "rare" is due to the fact that when they were new they were undesirable then as now; aka: no one wanted TO BUY them. 2 door coupes ALWAYS rule. And your “4-door GTO” is really just a rebadged 72 LeMans isn’t it? Funny! Last edited by Alvin; 07-01-2011 at 05:57 PM. |

I'm with gto4door, this GA is cool as a real deal 4-dr 4-spd. Yeah, they weren't popular back in the day, but they are unique and interesting to see at any car show today. So are 4-spd wagons of any make. Sure, I love 2-drs just as much as anybody, but show a little love for the poor ol' 4-door.

And While I do enjoy looking at 200 or so Simalure 64-72 GTO's at a show, I really like seeing an odd Sunbird Formula, a 75 Ventura Sprint, or maybe even a 73 GTO of dare I say it a 73-75 Grand Am at a show. I know most people wouldn't look twice at any of them, I consider it thier loss. Will someone ever recover the money put into those cars? Probably not, but I do not consider butting $10,000 into a car worth $5,000 when finised much different than putting $35,000 into a car that you are lucky to get $20,000 out of (in todays more realistic Market) much Different. My 2 cents worth, I supose with the inflation sense you post it is probably worth only 1 1/2 cents. So my 1.5 cents worth, as I sure you think you opinion is more valuable than Mine. I don't normally preach, but that post just struck a nerve this morning I guess.
