Vehicle Description
Beautiful, interesting, and extremely rare - although a tribute the
1973 Pontiac GTO was a one-year-only style with only 4,806 ever
produced. So the bold paint, A/C interior, big 400ci V8, and extra
performance components makes this one of the coolest GTO tributes
out there, and one of the meanest for the money.
The right Pontiac offers plenty of speedy good looks, as well as a
dash of premium in its appearance. That's why we know you're
attracted to this coupe. There have been some serious investments
to get this car into superior condition. The high gloss yellow
looks incredible, clinging to the A-body sheetmetal with hardly a
ripple or wave to be seen. The black vinyl roof might show the
luxury end of this Pontiac, but the front NACA ducts leave you with
no question about its performance car nature. This hood artfully
ends in the split grille up front, with a Pontiac chevron in the
center, and simple GTO badging - just the way they've been doing it
since the first one hit the streets in '64. The same goes for the
artful use of brightwork. Minimal trim means the emphasis stays on
the body curves. But as a true American cruiser, there's still
flash from the mirror-like chrome bumpers, which match the shine of
the 17-inch torque thrust-style wheels.
Bucket seats in a full-sized A-body would become an endangered
species in the years to come, but in this GTO they're part of the
factory package. Today, they still look a fresh as if this was
1973, and the coupe was sitting in the Pontiac showroom. The center
console looks just as fresh, and everyone loves the look of how the
wood paneling from here matches the accents on the door panels and
dash, for a true '70s premium feeling. This quality continues on
the three-spoke steering wheel with even more wood trim. Beyond
that is a nice set of round factory gauges, which is joined by an
auxiliary trio to give you the most accurate readings. But, the
features you're going to love the most starts with the power
windows. With the touch of a button, you can have all the windows
down, and then crank the original AM/FM stereo for some
period-correct cruising. And because the air conditioning is
blowing cold, you can stay cool while looking cool.
When you open the hood, the subtle blue glow of the engine block
let's you know the right kind of V8 is in the engine bay. And with
the rest of the components looking so honest and clean (right down
to the shining Pontiac air topper,) it's the kind of honest
presentation you can be proud to show off. But there are some
upgrades to this one, too. The 400 cubic-inch V8 already has
serious power to keep this GTO motoring, but now it has received
go-fast upgrades like an Edelbrock Performer intake and long tube
headers. That last one not only adds power, but also it gives added
growl to the dual exhaust w/chambered mufflers. The TH400
three-speed automatic transmission and 10-bolt rear end can easily
handle all the power you want to put to the streets. But there's
another side to this GTO. The automatic transmission, combined with
power steering and front disc brakes, also means you also have an
easy any time cruiser.
You can call this car a bumblebee or a goat, but really, the rarity
of a 1973 GTO would almost makes it a unicorn. That's why you know
you need to hurry before this one-year-only GTO clone is in someone
else's garage. Call now!!
