Interesting '72 GTOs & LeMans . . .
 

Figured that I ought to start my own '72 thread instead of hijacking other threads.

Most, if not all, of this stuff has been posted here at some point, but it's kinda fun to bring it up again anyway.

Here's a VERY unusual pre-PHS invoice for a '72 GTO 455HO Sundance car, along with a slightly incorrect 2005 Washington Times story about this very car.

PS - thanks to our own Steve V. for sending my that invoice. LOTS of "9D" options!

And a REALLY nicely optioned Wilderness Green HO GTO, shipped to a Missouri dealer with an unusual name . . .

Carl Craig sent me this one.

And another loaded up '72 HO GTO, special paint too. Wonder what color this one is / was?

I "get" the black cordova top and Ivory guts, but what's paint code "1"?

And, speaking of Wilderness Green, check out the invoice from this 33 option WW5 car. A power bench seat car no less!

It's highly likely you'll never see another WW5 car with fewer options!

Another modestly optioned, bench seat WW5 car. Lucy Blue and Ivory guts, with the "sperm whale" stripes.

Lloyd,

Has a 72 WW4 optioned car appeared yet? BVZ should investigate that one...

oPh says he has: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...&highlight=ww4

Oops - just proved myself wrong. Here are the docs for Joe Lenoir's (RIP) seven option Sundance / Dark Saddle WW5.

Not to my knowledge, Mike.

I'd darned sure like to see some cars and / or docs for a WW4 optioned car. Only 125 built, vs. 290 WW5s!

For some reason, I had ALWAYS ass-umed that the WW4 option was available onyl without the GTO option. Apparently, from reading further, I was wrong - imagine that, LOL!

based on my 71 orbit orange car with the same 1 in the paint code on the phs, it must just be for any special order color.

do you have the complete invoice on this one??? if so post it please.

can you post this in a picture instead of a pdf file? thanks

my goodness, include the individual options with the ww5 and this thing has a few. wow.

i just saw the invoice you posted on the other thread that shows the solid special and it has paint code as UU. i guess that blows my theory of the paint code 1 being any special order color???????????????

My 72 455HO...
 

Been on here before, but here it is again. Sundance and black guts.

Here you go, Gary. Sorry, but the quality suffered quite a bit in the transition from a pdf to a jpeg file.

Here's the invoice for the Monarch Yellow WW5 GTO I nearly bought out of Austin a few years back. 33 option count as well.

Dealers and / or buyers sure seemed to load up the '72 HO cars!

Nope - sure wish I did, Gary.

Here's a nicely optioned Revere Silver '72 LeMans 'vert - T41, L78, M22, etc. A 25 option car owned by Marc Fortier at one time.

Here's one you sent me a while back, Gary. Revere Silver WW5 GTO with Black bench guts.

Gary - do you have any recollection - is this car a column shift automatic or an M22 car?

Might as well post the special order paint (Cumberland Blue - paint code "UU") '72 GTO that I already posted in the '71 thread.
