Wow, a V-code colonnade. Not something you see every day -- I don't think they sold too many four-speeds in '73. Color me intrigued, Welcome, and let us know what you decide to do with it -- looks nice enough to just drive and enjoy.

Wow, that's a rarity. A friend of mine in college had a V-code 1973 442 in the late 1970s. I was never a fan of the colonnade styling, but it was a quick car.

Very nice!
Is the dual snorkel air cleaner original to this vehicle?

My buddy had one (not a v-code) when we were in high school I had a 72 442. This is my 5th olds I've had the 442, a 72 supreme 350, a 67 cutlass S 425 swapped and a 65 delta 4 door hardtop which became the donor for my 67. Looking forward to talking olds with you all. Just got it running today now to do a little fiddling to tune it up.

Great looking car. I've owned six '72 V Codes but not a '73 (yet). They're unique and will raise some eyebrows at car gatherings for sure. Thanks for saving it - enjoy it!
