Ad says it's rough, no drivetrain, no photos... but it's a 4-speed car. I'd check it out for myself if it weren't on the other side of the country from me.
You can pay $250 just for the in dash tach and guages, throw in the pedals for the 4 speed at $400 and you could easily make $300 on those parts alone.
Might be a nice one to save too. Would like to know the details... for example if it's a Canadian car with a Chev small block and a 4-speed in a Sport Coupe, it's gotta be a rare animal.
Heck, any '73 Sport Coupe 4-speed has to be rare, as it seems all the 4-speeds I've seen have been in Grand Ams or GTOs, for '73 that is.
No Chevy Big Blocks in Canadian Tempest/LeMans/GTO, except for the unproved rumoured twelve 396 (402) Oshawa 70 GTO's. Makes a great idea for a "What if" project Canadan car. I've thought about it a few times and also about putting in a sbc 400 as another "What If", probably a much easier swap if the car was an original sbc 350.
It would be nice to see some photos of the $350 car, I'm almost tempted sight unseen though. Transport to Ontario would be twice the asking price!
Theres a photo up now....It looks pretty good, if thats the actual car

I have looked into this before and most research for GTO shows 4,806 built with 1,113 being 4 speed cars. Grand Ams are even less with 187 4 speeds of 43,136 made. Combined that is just under 3% of production.
There were 3,761 Sports Coupes built for Canada in 1973 so if that ratio holds true that would be a possible 113 - 4 speed Canadian LeMans Sport Coupes.
