Default Low optioned cars

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.

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..

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.

Not super duper low optioned, but there sure is a lot of empty real estate on the window sticker
