Interesting Pictures From Member Joe Sparks

The following pictures were sent to me by Joe Sparks. Joe is the proud owner of a black '73 GTO. We do not see '73's all that often let alone 6 of them side-by-side!. Joe did not give me much in the way of information about where this gathering took place. To say the least, I was fascinated and suspect you will be as well.
