I don't know what happened in '73. I love all years of Olds but in '73, the designers must have been on vacation. I know it just my opinion. The only cool part on that car is the louvered hood and that's been cut up.
That car might be rare but I personally couldn't put any money in it.
Although there was a lot of ugly across the board in that year.
There, I said it........

U.S. Federal crash impact standards required bumper and grill changes to allow for lesser damage in low speed collisions.

I think these numbers are already known:
442
G37 -9,727
F37 - 360
The following are not:
4-speed manual
G37 - 1,567
J57 - 829
F37 - 64
TOTAL: 2,460
(FWIW, 3-speed column shifts are extremely rare in comparison, with a total of 715 built)
L75 455
F37 - 85
G29 - 75
G37 - 4,165
J29 - 1,438
J35 - 2,800
J57 - 6,502
TOTAL: 15,065
I do have numbers for 3.42 cars - does that help narrow things down? Like was 3.42 only available on the V-code cars?

That was actually supposed to be the 1972 model year change. It was delayed till the 73 model year due to the UAW strike. I was also one of the guys who didn't think much of the 'colonnade' design.

I don't know what you're missing because I posted the numbers for G37 so they should pertain to that.

F37
G37
J57 are cutlass bodies the rest are not. Reguardless.. What you posted is worthless without the peices that include the 4 speed information.
This is stupid to continue this discussion .. You are looking for an arguemant that is baseless...
I was hoping some good would come of the same old arguement.
Thank you for your time.

Joe, I think you're missing what he has posted. Has 4-spd (which is M20) list of how many in each platform of G37, F37, & J57. The other list is the number breakdown of L75 motor in all models.
Like I been trying to say, these are figures that GM has and they can only figure one option per model (not multiple options). V-code is what we refer to but not a searchable option if you can understand. The H/O has an auto trans and I've already tried L77 or W46 which GM has no records of so that's why we don't know how many of those H/Os were made.
So going back to those 4-spd figures they total a lot but again because of multiple option cannot breakdown how many were 350 or 455. But like him and others, we all like to see the written proof of 95 made that's been talked for years.

Just pointing out that there are no v-code numbers for the F37 or J57 cars?. So the 95 only pertains to G37s.
Ive see way more 4-spd 455 cars than ever seen M20 with 350. But acording to these figures there should be around 1472 G37s with 350/4spd. Plus more when you add F37 & J57 cars.
