First thing I noted looking at the pics of this Pontiac plant WW5 GTO, even before I even looked at the pic of the invoice copy was the appearance of body color spray underneath the body.
As a serious restorer of '71's & 72's, have documented as early as mid 71 model production (right after the 67 day UAW strike), Pontiac plant A-body builds with an extensive application of body color underneath the trunk pan & floor pans. Not just a light overspray at the riockers. So far this has been documented up into the mid '72 model Pontiac A-body production. Would not surprise me if body color continued later in the '72 model year. This was definitely a Pontiac plant thing during this time frame. Not to be confused with how the under body was painted on '71 & 72 Fremont & Lakewood builds.
