'72 Sundance Orange 455HO M22 . . .
My old Sundance car is lot F166 on Friday December 4th at the Mecum Houston auction.
One of the finest and most original ' HO cars I've ever had the pleasure of owning! At a Mecum event several years ago it sold for $57K. https://www.mecum.com/lots/HA0420-41...2-pontiac-gto/

‘72 Sundance Orange
Noticed the small shield installed over top of A/C pulley. Given the history of this car, I assume that is a factory installed piece. I’ve been trying to determine what cars, what years, etc. got this piece. Thought I had discovered that these came on some Buick GS models. Can you tell me anymore about it? Would like to find one for my original owner ‘71, but not sure that it is really correct for my car. Still might like to add one to prevent compressor oil being slung all under the hood.

I am unaware of which previous owner added it to this car, but I suspect that it was done by the original owner, Skip Barooby. I knew that it wasn't correct for my car, but I left it on when I detailed the engine bay. It does a great job of keeping that snarfy compressor oil of of the hood underside and other engine components!

I've been eyeing that car since it was originally scheduled for Houston in April. I bought some park hotels and resorts stock (pK) at the bottom in March, figured it would recover by the time of the auction and that could help purchase the car.
I'll be a bidder in December.
