Re: 1973 GTO - what could have been
Not necessarily. I think that invoice reflects what the original owner ordered in Feb 1973, but then it didn't get built that way by Pontiac, so he then put the engine he wanted, in the car on his own.
Back in early 1973 Pontiac was advertising all sorts of vehicular applications for this new SD engine. After months of waiting and waiting, Pontiac killed the other applications and restricted it to Trans Ams and Formulas, and further restricted them by permitting A/C only on the automatic transmission equipped F-Bodies. No A/C in a four-speed SD455.
