That would be a US Market car with the blue engine. The Ascot Silver and Saddle interior was actually a recommended combination for 73. That's how your's truly left the Oshawa factory.
Kinda reminds me of a neighbor's car. Mrs. Loosley (yes, real name) traded her 65 Buick Skylark in for a 73 Lemans coupe almost like that car. It had a 350 and was a light green metallic with a dark green vinyl roof, body-coloured wheels and small hubcaps (not the ones shown on the car for sale, they were like baby moons with Pontiac arrowheads). Her husband also traded his 70 Wildcat in for a 73 Buick Centurion with a 455 (dark red, black vinyl roof & off-white interior).

Can't say I'm a fan of the colour combo, but they were different times.
Hey Ray, were there any Canadian market cars with the Pontiac engine, or were they all sixes and small block Chevys?
Perhaps Ray or Mike can explain to us why the 75 Canada Cup LeMans could be optioned with a Pontiac 400, in addition to the more typical Chevrolet engine choices. I'm assuming the 400 Cup car was built in Oshawa along with the other LeManseses.

The Domestic cars were all Chevy sixes and Chevy 350's, if a 400 or 455 was ordered it could be built in Oshawa with the Pontiac engine. The whole idea of having a Canadian engine plant was to supply Canadian cars and the 400 and 455 orders were not so common anyway. Oshawa did build US market cars with blue 350's. Some cars that were for the Canadian Market had to be built in the US because some models wouldn't have been run at Oshawa and these cars would get blue engines. One that comes to mind is the 1972 nose job LeMans, there is a Canadian Market car I know from Gus Brown, blue 350 because these models were only built in Pontiac. I can't think of any off hand in 73 but production demands may have resulted in a Canadian market car being US built and shipped here. GTO in 73 was Oshawa built with Pontiac 400 and 455. The bulk of Canadian production V8's was 350 McKinnon supplied engines.

The hub caps on the car shown are the correct ones for 1973 LeMans and B bodies. Ventura, Fiirebird and GTO got the baby moons with arrow heads.
