I know a gto guy who has hundreds of pontiac historical society reports on gto's and judge's just to see what they are.

1 in Alberta
There was one in Alberta for about 10 years. It sold at an auction in Calgary about 3 years ago (divorce sale I heard). Sold for $50K. Not sure if it is still in the Province or not. I have pics of the car but I am not aware of what # it is.
EDIT...this car is still in Alberta. The new onwers live in Sundre AB & the car was at the 2012 Olds Roundup. Glad to see it is still around.

There are three in our car club. The one in Calgary is the one on some book cover about Hurst's. The 69 Hurst in Edmonton is owned by my boss who also owns a 1969 442 W30 4 spd Convertible as well as a 1970 442 W30 Convertible.
The one from Calgary:

The last few Ive seen sell on ebay were over $600 and there is the one over the weekend that didnt meet the reserve at $350 if that helps. Do you need one as I may have a spare?

Nice car... Note on the last pic being that Daytona mentions it has never been painted..., can't see immediately after the front tire but you can see the lower stripe dip before the rear wheel, looks like it dips slightly before the front wheel as well. Remember that the next time we see any 'freshly' restored 1969 H/O's where the lower stripe is painted straight across.

The H/O has spent her whole life in Arkansas. Her names is "PEACHES". I have paperwork where original owner traded their car for the H/O along with cancelled checks where they made the payments on "PEACHES".

Note the top stripe showing fade. A very common sight for these cars. Paint was put on so thin you could almost see through it. Funny thing too, many times the paint etched its way into the surface of the metal and surface rust would be found only in the gold stripe area.
And although many of the 69 H/O's had that dip in the bottom paint lines, some did not. They were all masked by hand and there are some interesting possiblities in variances I've seen on original stripes over the years even from one side to the other on the same car.
As for the distributors, AFAIK, the 973 was specific to the 69 H/O. I can't find any other usage for that p/n, unless I missed something somewhere. They use monster huge mech weights from a Camaro COPO or something like that, a special advance can later found on some 70 442s, rotor shaft and a few other specific parts.
