73SC & 427carl. Thanks , & yes I believe I've talked to you on the A-body site a few times & on the PY site to. The car you posted is my car. The pic of the car in my garage was taken about 1 years ago when I was trying out a different front bumper set up. I had taken a 73 G/A front bumper & made it fit up close to the front to see if I could get a better looking front end on the 73 GTO. I did post some pics on the A-body site of it when I got it put on but the feeling of what it looked like were mixed between the folks on the site, but I was never able to get it completed , well to my likeing & put the factory bumper back on. THe way I had it set up it did IMO make the car look a little sliker but I didn't have a way to get the bumper close outs at the sides where the turn signals go mocked up completely. Some of the sites I visit have been a little slow ately so I found this site & hope that it becomes one of the site I come back to again & again. So far from what I've seen & read it looks to be a good site & with the response I've gotten it seems like a friendly site to. I've been a fan of the 73 GTO since like I said , I saw it on the cover of the Aug. issue of Cars mag. It had the 73 all twisted up with some big ladder bars on it & a guy that was all smiles behind the wheel & the front end up in the air a bit. Of coruse it was a kind of cartoon drawing but still When I saw a friend of mine the folling day I told him I was going to go over & order 1 . He ddin't care all that much for it at the time. He had a 69 RAIV GTO & a 71 T/A & a 65 GTO at the time. I was the poor one I only had my 69 Firebird 400. I was 17 & a senior in school , but I did go over & talk to a salesman about ordering 1 but he said I had to have a parent with me. I think he was totally floored when he got a call from another dealer in my town, I was in the town about 10 miles away , but they called & vouged for me to be able to order a car. My mother was the bookeeper for the Chyrsler/Plymoth dealer in my town. But before they would ordr it my mom did have to come over to sign the order form so they could order it. I originally ordered an SD 455 GTO & of course I didn't get the one I wanted but I was now in the Navy & had to deal with them over the mail service & some phone calls to try to get the car I wanted. But finally befor Christams it got canceled for the last time . By the time I got back in town to deal with them in preson it was past the time to try to order another one, so I ended up with a demo which was the owners sons car. It was just a 400 auto with P.S. P. B. AM radio. It was florintine red met. with a white vinyl top& Ralley II wheels. I did look araound in town & all around in the area for the time I was home & couldn't find anything else that even came close. Most of the cars around were the std. cars with the large side windows, & I wanted a Sport Coupe , the 1 with the louverd side windows. Plus because of all the problems I had had with them on the car I was given such a good deal on it that I really couldn't turn it down. I traded my 69 Bird in & $ 2500.00 out the door for it at the time. The car had a list of $ 5400.00 so I figured I was getting a good deal on it & it did run very good. The dealers sons car had been in the shop for some extra special treatment & ran better then any of the 5-6 cars that I had driven to date. I hope everyone gets a look at the car & again 427 thanks for getting my pic posted for me. I put that wing on the car back in 80 & I wouldn't take it off for anything. I think it looks great on there. It took me a long time to get it to sit on th car level & to make it look like it belongs there. Guys & Gals , let me know what you think. To me when I see a 73 without one on the car now I think it looks incomplete, only because I've had mine for so long. Well all for now as i don't want this to be so long you stop reading. But at the last if you guys are in need of any 73 GTO parts , I'm a little low right now but I can usually find or have a lot of items for the 73. I use t run the swap meet circuit & have made some very good friends over the years which makes getting & finding parts sometimes very easy for me. All for now, Thanks Rex.
