Low optioned cars
 
1 Attachment(s)
I know the heavy optioned cars will bring more money or may be more desirable, but there were lots of low/no option cars purchased back in the day. For sake of discussion, If you have what you consider to be a low-optioned car, I'd like to see what you have. Ill start...my 66 GTO had 4 options. a few good ones, for sure, but still only 4. Lets see your window stickers...

I won't be the winner, but it's a pretty low option car.

I like low option GTO's My first GTO purchased in 1972 was a 1966 GTO with 50K miles.
4 speed
safe-t-track 3:55
AM radio, push button
Rally I wheels

That was it. It was a great car.

And you're not dragging around 3 or 400 pounds of extra weight! ;)

Our cars are almost identical! You just got rear mats and an automatic.

Lowest option GTO I've ever ran across was a nightmare project (hard hit) '67 GTO convert. Tyrol Blue, 3 speed, manual strg, std energy absorbing wheel, not even ordered with a tinted windshield. Kansas City cowl tag literally had no accessory codes.

Considered rescuing that GTO in the late 90's, but even having a '67 Tempest convert in the pipeline for cheap (for a replacement frame), & a ton of nice '67 GTO parts, was just way too much work. Even adding factory options hard to see the upside.

According to PHS, my 67 GTO was ordered with
1. Manual AM radio.
2.. deluxe wheel covers.

HWYSTR455 04-26-2022 09:38 AM

I had a '71 GTO 4 speed for a while, manual steering, manual drum brakes, radio delete, sparce interior. It was used day-one as a drag car, and purchased it from the 2nd owner, with only @70k miles on it. Wish I still had it!

Not the lowest number of options but considering the car pretty minimal. 1 is obviously rarer than the others…. Being the week of Apollo 11 its amazing the wheels stayed on..

Brianbigoats 04-26-2022 12:24 PM

My 69
Only had power brakes,power steering, 4 speed, counsel, and soft ray glass
Perfect base for restomod since it had a color change

Ordered my Goat in March of 1971 with the minimum of options that I could afford. Added other stuff (included on reproduction window sticker) many years later when I got the urge to add some curb appeal.

SD73 05-21-2022 11:33 PM

My 73 was ordered like the magazine car. SD, Deluxe Interior, AM radio, Automagic, Maintenance Free Battery, Tinted Windows.

Qball 05-22-2022 07:35 PM

Not super duper low optioned, but there sure is a lot of empty real estate on the window sticker https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3d5eff8dcb.jpg
