Looks similar to what came in the magnaflow kit, will check in morning. Thanks

Good to hear you have a W62 car, a GTO ! 

I think you may be reading the documents incorrectly.

There were actually 3,761 Sport Coupes made, that is the model - F37. GTO is not a model rather an option so 231 of those Sport Coupes had the GTO option, W62, 106 Sport Coupes had M20 and some if not all could have been GTO optioned cars. 395 Sport Coupes had the 400 L78 engine and because we have no other information on the 455 we can assume that 231 or less GTO's had the L78. I would say that statistically based on the information we have been provided that the number of 4 speed 1973 GTO's produced in Oshawa is a least 7 and no more than 106, George sometimes shows this as Less than 107 M20 optioned GTO`s

So in summary you have one of those 231 Canadian GTO optioned (W62)  LeMans Sport Coupes (F37). 

What date was your car built and what dealer did it ship to?

That's getting to be a late build car, so given that the 73 is a one year only design I suppose it is possible that the supply of GTO name plates for the doors were exhausted. The car is afterall a LeMans Sport Coupe, with the GTO option pack.

Makes sense that it is a BC car with all that pristine body work and trim still on it.

 The above stats have got to be for U.S. production. I remember when the '73 GTOs came out in the fall of '72 but remember them being very scarce and pretty much as hard to come across as the Loch Ness Monster. When I worked in Mississauga back in 1986 I remember seeing a Florentine Red (med red metallic) '73 GTO sport coupe with faded original paint, black beltline stripes flanked with red pinstripes, black buckets with a console, plus GTO 455 C.I.D. decals on the front fenders. It was rusty and I was thinking that somebody should save it. Way back then you could still get a lot of new parts through the dealer.

Ray's (73SC) Lemans looks really great with those factory style exhaust tips. They are a detail often missed by people who restore them. The tips look similar to the Trans Am tips.

As for door panels, I don't have the 1973 knowledge that Ray has, but I do remember for 1972 the GTO became an option on any closed 2-door Lemans body style & trim level (except for the Luxury Lemans). It marked the return of the 2-door "post" body style on a GTO for the 1st time since 1967. Anyway on a 2-door post they only came with low-level interior with bench seats and as I recall, Lemans badges on the door panels.

The data posted is 100% USA data, not sure that GTO site where the data comes from even lists Oshawa as a plant where GTO's are built....so typical of our cousins south of the border.  In fairness though the Canadian data would hardly be relevant to the users of that site.

Nonetheless we can likely add 231 F37's to those numbers. I've never seen a D37 GTO documented by George so I have no idea how many of those were produced in Oshawa. The relationship from the USA data would suggest another 26 cars for total Canadian production of W62 cars at 257.

Weren't all 73 GTO's built in Oshawa?

 No, built all over the USA, Pontiac, Freemount, Framinham, Atlanta, Arlington and Baltimore. remember it was an option on LeMans and LeMans Sport so anywhere the LeMans was built so could a GTO be made. There was really nothing special about the package, except decals all other equipment was available in the LeMans lineup. I've seen station wagons with NASA hoods and 4 on the floor, D37 Colonnade LeMans with a 455, even a Luxury LeMans with a 4 speed 400. 

Yes it was, wondering if it's a dud or a dude. Alright to have documentation if time comes to sell, matching engine numbers was nice
