1973 Pontiac Grand-Am with 400ci & 4-Speed 1 of 187 Built! See all the pictures below the description! This 1973 Grand-AM is about as original and well documented as you could ask for. The window sticker says the car was delivered to Courtesy Pontiac-Buick in Coos Bay, Oregon. The sticker price was $5180.50 and there was a loan originated for this car on 02/15/1973 for the amount of $4262.40. This car has been stored since 1991 and has only been driven about 200 miles since that time. A folder is included with the car that contains dozens of receipts, registrations and insurance info as well as the window sticker, emissions manual, owner's manual, etc. You can see through the paper trail that this car truely has only 52,116 miles. The Engine block and transmission both match the car's vin. See the pictures! The transmission is a Muncie 4-speed which works as it should. The engine is in good operating condition. See the YouTube video at the bottom of the page. The engine suffix code "WK" was used in 1973 for a 400ci with a 4-barrel and 4-speed transmission. The 1999 receipt for the engine rebuild was written up as a short block rebuild with a special note "MUST USE OWN CORES". The heads are "16" castings which are good performers, but not correct for the car. The carburetor works, but will need cleaned to run it's best and is not the original. Some of the options on the window sticker are: Soft Ray Glass, Remote deck lid, Air Conditioning, Accent Stripes, Safety Track (POSI) Differential, Rally II Wheels, Firm Ride Package. I believe, but can't be 100% sure, the "Firm Ride" package included computer selected springs, firmer shocks, taller front spindles that were borrowed from the F-body, and 1.125 front and .94 rear stabilizer bars. The interior looks to be original. The seats are in good shape, but will need recovered. The 4-speed console is still present. See all the pictures. The body seems pretty solid except the noted area above the passenger rear side window. The quarters look/feel good. The floor pans and trunk pan look extremely good. The paint is laquer checking pretty heavily. The endura nose will need replaced or repaired. See the pictures of the extra nose and grille pieces. The a/c compressor is not present.

These cars could have received a NACA hood as an option. If you want that hood for this car I suggest bidding on it now since they DON'T COME UP OFTEN! See my other auctions.
