Nice poster. That's the first time I have seen that one as well. If you were going to put on the stripe kit, what color combo would you put on???

That's the first I've seen of it as well, looks cool though. Ray, no offence but before spending the big bucks on the stripe kit (Phoenix Graphics?) I would seriously consider repainting the car it's original ascot silver - just my opinion but I wouldn't go through the effort to put the stripes on your current paint job.

Not if I take a grinder to it when you are not looking....

I am kind of partial to the GT stripe kit more than the GTO Stripe Kit. As you can tell as I didn't put the GTO stripe kit on my car. I didn't want the look that is in the attachment that I found on the internet in the same color combo. I do not believe that the stripe on the car is correct. The strip seems to be to wide in the door area and is to far forward in the center of the door.

Keep in mind that this is not my car.

Looks like they put it on the wrong side...?

No offense taken Hillar. I don't disagree, but a repaint is a lot of years out, stripe kit is under $300, not that much to freshen up the look. The other thing is that Phoenix just released the N98 1973 stripe package too which was available on all LeMans. I sort of like it better.

Welcome Bill, we need to swell the ranks of the 73 LeMans so thanks for coming on Board.  

I see our Canadian Poncho Superstar and most senior member by posts 427Carl has already welcomed you too along with 87 player bird, both of who have unique Canadian Pontiacs.

We look forward to seeing photos of both of your 73's!

Do you own that white GTO made famous by the Johnny Lightning die cast and pictured above in this thread and your avatar ?

If so our 73's are celebrity cars, mine was on SPIKE TV.

If you consider you car a star does that make me an agent to tthe stars?

Thanks for the welcome. Your forum gives me a little different perspective of the '73 A-Body that for a long time was lost and now seems to be coming back. I am also a member of PY Forums and The A-Body Site.

The Cameo White '73 GTO is mine and has been around since 1984. Pictures have been posted of that car all over the 'net. It's also the one that was used for the white Johnny Lightning diecast. That was a nice honor to have that done.

I have a '73 Desert Sand LSC that I bought in 1976 and retired in 1989 with 207,000 miles. Body was getting rough from Western New York winters and it's now just a shell rotting out back of my house. Too far gone. Very sad every time I look at it.

The new star in the fleet is the Florentine Red LSC GT that I found in West Virginia. Here is a photo from the original owner and a couple from the day I picked it up last September. I am installing new springs to restore the ride height, adding GTO sway bars for handling, and installing a fresh set of GT stripes. Hope to bring the car up to the HMP Pontiac Show in Hamilton in June.
