Most of these cars were built with the 400 engine and lots of creature comforts but not this one. I have yet to find another one exactly like it so you will be different, that's for sure! I have all the parts that are not on the car along with some extra used parts/a few NOS and any parts I changed out that were worth saving. The hood shown in the photos I fabricated and the scoop is from a 1974 GTO, the original hood also goes with the car. The spare looks to be original and was holding air. A few years ago I replaced the sill plates, carpet, window sash/rubber and the weather stripping but it's aged from sitting. The carburetor was professionally rebuilt along with the alternator. I did a tune up on it last year but it has a miss, I also replaced the belts. Some of the hoses and clamps are original along with the radiator cap but new hoses go with the car. This car has all the right options (or lack of) for 1973 to make it very different. Great base car to work from. This is not a good car for for someone who doesn't know his way around a vintage car-you should assume everything needs attention. It must be towed/transported to it's new owner-this is a project that will need a lot of love. Also, the ignition switch needs to be replaced-new one goes with the car and the tires are aged. The passenger door is in rough shape and the front fascia needs to be re-attached or replaced. I added the tachometer but I have the original clock. There seems to be some electrical issues that need to be sorted out. The floor was patched and the trunk has a welded patch. I have the headlamp buckets and headlamps for installation. The pictures look better than the car does in person, the photos were taken last year but it looks the same. This car is a great starting point! I have some service history from previous owners, the owners manuals are also present and a copy of the PHS report is included. A few years ago Jim Wangers signed the inside of the glove box at a Pontiac event. I don't have time for her and I'm not doing the car any favors by letting it sit so it needs to move on. Please message me with any questions and thanks for looking! The car is also listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours.
