1973 Pontiac Lemans GTO– Pontiac sales hit an all-time high in 1973 with 919,872 cars sold. Wheelbases were standardized this year with 112 inches for all two-door intermediate models and energy absorbing bumpers were required, either by a hydraulic bumper arms or Endura rubber deformable noses. GM called the new models “Colonnade” designs and there were no convertibles. The 1973 Pontiac GTO was now a tiny subset of the Le Mans series and the new kid on the block was theGrand Am, which used a similar body with a sloping rubber nose and was described as a luxury hardtop. It had lots of creature comforts, but less powerful engines mandated by emissions requirements. A total of 4,816 GTOs were built, divided into 494 Coupes and 4,312 Sport Coupes. The base Coupe had a rear quarter window and the Sports Coupe had vertical louvres covering that window. As a Le Mans Performance Package, the GTO added $368 to the base $3,406 for the Le Mans and $3,493 for the Le Mans Sport. Engine choices were a 230 bhp 400 cid V-8 and a 250 bhp 455 cid V-8.
If you have caught on to the rapid rise in popularity of the Colonnade era vehicles, you will be pleased to know you can still own one of the best. All you really need to know is that this is the nicest GTO for sale on the market, it has under 45k miles, and drives like new. I acquired this vehicle form a small Texas collection where it has always been stored indoors and obviously well maintained. I love to drive this car and inspected this GTO and found very little negative to report. The light interior has some “yellowing” due to being 50 years old, but is ALL Original. Otherwise, this Pontiac is outstanding! The paint, glass, chrome, and rubbers are all in excellent condition. A complete list of features and options includes;400ci V8 (numbers matching), Rare 4 Speed, A/C, Power Steering & Brakes, Bucket Seats, Center Console Storage, Chrome Mirrors & Bumpers, Dual Exhaust, Rubber Floormats, Factory AM/FM Radio, Soft Ray Tinted Glass, Tire Tools, Spare Tire, 15″ Honeycomb Wheels, and New Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTS Raised White Letter Tires! Documentation that accompanies this sale includes; Original Owners Manual, Period Literature, Service Records, and a PHS Report. Now that all your excuses are gone, contact me to be the fortunate new caretaker of the nicest NON Restored ’73 GTO you will find.
