I don't think any amount of time with a leaf blower is going to make a 10K car out of that one!

A 1973 Lemans never came with a Powerglide transmission like the ad stated. You could get a three or four speed manual, or a 3 speed Turbo Hydramatic.

Wow - I’m shocked that is in such good shape, since it no doubt hauled a lot of kids around. I had also totally forgotten about those cable-driven remote mirrors.

A solid '64 GTO hood is worth more than that entire car as it sits right now.
