Default Wanted 1973 Pontiac Grand Prix

Looking for a clean 1973 GP prefer original SJ. NOT looking for a project or a show car either. Just a nice driver with a REALISTIC price. Also prefer running and driving but if doesn't run that could be ok. Just needs to have good body, paint, and interior.
Any leads are appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Maybe '72 '73 '74 '75 But '73 being the 1st choice. Even a loaded up LJ with buckets.

Thanks, you must be in that area. I have have been trying to find a way to search all of craigslist but the sites I have found don't work so well. They didn't have these 2 cars. The silver one is interesting.

Too bad you didn't see this one when I posted it in the GP forum. I was surprised that no one responded to the post at all until after the auction was over. I was tempted to buy it myself.

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/5961324327.html

https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/5951648569.html

I like this Black one on Ebay, but I don't think I like it for $18,000

Default Always a day late and dollar short.

I seen a few listed on here that took a year to sell, looked like great cars. Greg looked like it would of fit the bill. CammerJeff, I did find 2 of those cars. The Black one on Ebay is listed by a professional car flipper, I seen the original ad for $7,500 the internet saves things and I also have sold that guy a car a several years back just wanted to beat me up bad on a low mile T/A, he had it sold before he even got it from me. Anyway, I know something will come up. Thanks for the help guys.

I checked into this one: https://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/5965846817.html, mechanically nice, but has some rust issues. Plus, it is a Model J with a 455.

That car was sold about an hour after it was posted. That was way too cheap. Good grand prize are definitely on the rise. I have a couple low mileage cars but not ready to sell them that cheap for sure.

I care more about the body / interior than the mechanical.

Yeah, still kind of regret not pulling the trigger on that one myself.

Nice red/white 77 just went on the bay. Looks like a nice car except for the Chick Stick!

Thanks everyone. There is one ending today on Ebay I like, but the miles seem to good to be true. Has anyone seen the car? What would be a good value? Loaded up like I want. Always scary buying sight unseen. Did '73's come with T-Tops? And the driver side antenna? The wheels on it don't help my visible experience! Any thoughts? Not sure on the color.

. To the best of my knowledge t-tops were not available on 73 GP's. First time available was on the 76 Anniversary model GP. Then in 1977 they were available as an option on all GP models. I believe they were made by Hurst. I suspect the 73 on ebay is either some type of aftermarket or the car had a roof transplant during it's life. Especially suspicious of the t-tops being on a car with a full vinyl top. Only remember seeing them on 76/77 models with a padded landau top. Also I believe the only antenna available was the one in the windshield.

Default Seems odd.

Things do seem odd, with this car. The guy got it in a trade and doesn't have much info. He does have the window sticker, no mention of tee tops. I agree, wasn't it more of a '76 or later option like with the Trans Am's.
