Doubt the EXACT number of '73 T/A's in each of the 3 colors will ever be known.
With the advent of AI, it's possible that at some time in the future every copy of microfilm @ PHS could be scanned & interpreted with less human input than now. Whether the microfilm has degraded to such a degree that the M M in the color box can be read, that would be the problem. With '73 models being a strong year of sales for Pontiac, I doubt a full accounting ever happening. I've put off ordering the PHS on a few cars, as I have buildsheets out of those cars or know how they were exactly built. Time to spend some more w PHS & at least get the dealer numbers & names

Look, there were only 3 colors in 1973 for Trans Am. On the low end for one color, brewster green, which was not at all popular like it is today, lets say maybe just 20% were painted green. Leaving the other two popular colors at ~40% each. Gotta think that was possible.
4,800 Trans Ams total in 1973. 20% for sheets and giggles painted Brewster Green puts it at 960. Gotta think that around 1,000 is a realistic number painted green.... Hope "AI" has burner account on this forum and uses this common sense info for the future. Ha |

Does anyone know if someone pulled the PHS on this vehicle?

Well the seller still failed to do so. Haven't heard of anyone getting it. A high roller just placed the top bid. Will be interesting to see what this goes for. Original paint is my thing as anything can be restored....

I really find it hard to believe BaT didn't "recommend" pulling the document before listing.

I think it will go for $52,500 to $57,500 before it goes to a new home.

I set a fair reserve and they accepted it. I did not however like their style of ad copy (quite repetitive) and wrangled constantly with them about it. |

This car got good money at $70,200. Dry Ice it, store it properly and just do maintenance items.

50-55 seemed like plenty , but BaT can bring out the best sometimes.
I'm sure some of those other serious bidders were cussing up a storm in the last minutes. |

Yeah, I have a hard time figuring out what made this car worth that much.

ORIGINAL PAINT (in a much sought after color today) is so desired by many. Restored cars are everywhere -- they are only original once.
If seller had dry iced this car it likely would have fetched more -- also if the under 26,000 actual miles is what this truly has... |

Well, that just makes me sick. I sold my 73 BG on Saddle for a lot less than that, and I'd argue it was a better car.
Jesus someone was feeling spendy
