Someone at the place I work beside has a '73 in metalflake orange with Cragar S/S 5 spokes and redline tires. It's soooooo sexy, looks like a vintage Hot Wheels today.

Orange sounds nice for a 73, a lot of colors seem to suit it.
My favorite would be:



I have lusted after some f-body cars for awhile, the 73 being my #1.

1974 Cadillac
Fleetwood Talisman, a car whose ostentatiousness could arguably shame even a 2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Talisman's sticker price wasn't to far from that of the 1974 Silver Shadow

From Wikipedia,

"Fleetwood Talisman for 1974
Even more exclusive [for Cadillac] was the "Talisman" package available for the Fleetwood Brougham for the 1974, '75, and '76 model years. By definition, the word talisman means "anything whose presence exercises a remarkable or powerful influence on human feelings or actions". The package was so exclusive that it essentially removed the "Brougham" identification from the car renaming it a "Fleetwood Talisman" per exterior badging.

For 1974 the interior featured a center console in the front and rear-seat passenger compartments; the front console containing a writing tablet. The rear seat console contained only a storage space. This seating arrangement turned the hulking Fleetwood Brougham into a four-seater automobile.

Seating was in "Medici" crushed velour and interior carpeting was virtually of a "shag carpet" nature. The price of this opulence was reflective as well-US$1800 for the velour seats and US$2450 for leather-an unheard of amount for "options" in 1974"

everyone goes all ga-ga over the 72 Gran Torino sports roof (especially after the movies released recently).
Personally, I think 70-71 look far more pissed off. I'd most certainly rock a Torino GT with a 429 CJ under the hood.
...in grabber red
... with the shaker hood
and laser stripes
and four speed!

See I know red and Plum Crazy are always popular choices, but I'm all about the lime green.
