The wording was different based on where the car was produced, but these were the features of the WW5 package:

34X 4 BBL 455 HO V8 Engine
35L Turbo Hydramatic or M22 4 SPD
434 RH & LH Body Color Mirrors
464 Formula Steering Wheel
481 Roof Drip Scalp Molding
502 Power Disc Brakes
524 Custom Carpets
601 Hood Air Inlet
634 Unitized Ignition
714 Rally Gauge Cluster & Tach
724 Handling Package
361 Safe-T-Track Diff

Price of the package varied a few $$$ based on whether it was a hardtop or coupe, auto or manual trans.

Dash is wrong. Was the 1972 shift knob wood? Really cool looking car though. I like it.

Good info, Mike - thanks for posting.

Also, another note on the pricing - the production date made a difference as well. Pre or post the date that the federal excise tax rules were changed.

Here are a couple of WW5 factory docs of interest.

Good eye, Bob.

Shift knob should be a large black plastic ball with the shift pattern in white.

Also note the tires. I kinda like the blackwall look, especially with the black steelies and doggy bowls, but ALL Y99 optioned GTOs were OEM equipped with white-lettered G60x15 Goodyear Polyglas GTs.

Was it determined if this was a WW5 car?

1972 GTO Mecum

Looks like it will go on Sat. 23rd

Fairly certain that it IS a WW5 car, since the auction ad clearly states that the option is shown on the PHS invoice.

Not to beat up on the car,but it has the wrong dash pad!!!!!! And to think I offered my car up for $40K recently and some people think it's too much. Well I say thank all of you for not buying it from me. I hope this seller gets what he/she want ( $75K-$100K ).I dont have a WW5 car,but have all but one option that a WW5 car has ( missing dual sport mirror's ).

Brought $57,000 at the hammer last night.

Hey guys.... Looking to purchase a ww5 Cardinal Red 4 spd car. Would like to purchase vin number a130xxx invoice 233415. This car was in AZ most of it's life. Willing to spend the right money for this car if it has stayed original and unmodified. Any chance of the owner selling it??

[The Boss]

Pontiac plant? 2nd week of December car.

[time capsule mike]

early 4 spd car.... 11/19/71 vin a130xxx=inv#233415
red/black buckets/ stripes/ac. Interested in purchasing this car. Top dollar waiting for the owner of this car if he's willing to sell.

[Lloyd-TX]

Well, I'm not able to help, Mike.

I have that invoice but no owner info. Good luck on your search!

[time capsule mike]

Ok thanks. If anybody on this forum knows the car or owner and if they can relay the message that top dollar is waiting i would appreciate it.

[Lloyd-TX]

'Tis a nicely optioned WW5 car.

Here's the invoice. Sure wish I knew where it is!

[time capsule mike]

The car was advertised a few years ago on Cars On Line.com. Car was in AZ. Previous owner said it needed paint and had aftermarket wheels but he had the original KR 15X7 Rally's. Things not correct about it was it had '71 HO heads instead of 7f6 heads. And the M22 trans was gone. Has a M21 in it now. Unless the current owner has made it more correct. It was sold for 32 grand at the time. Willing to spend considerably more than that for it.

[Bentwheelbob]

I believe PY member Pat Brown bought a stash of NOS parts from the guy. Pat's moniker here is PB. You might send him a private message and see if he still has the Arizona owner's number.

Also, seems like I saw a very similar car for sale recently. So similar it made me wonder if it was the Arizona car. It must have been on PY because I am now so car rich that I am money poor, and don't frequent many car sale sites other than the occasional one that pops up on PY.

I dont have a 4spd. car and mine is not a WW5 car,but I do have the born with #'s matching 455 HO and Automatic. I have all the options a WW5 car would have come with except the dual sport mirror's. And I will sell it for the right money.

[time capsule mike]

I saw a pic of your car and it's a beauty. But looking for a factory 4 spd M22 72H.O car. Thanks for your offer.

[johnta1]

Where is BVZ at?

Any updates to this?

Mike, why this specific WW5?

Wasn't there one for sale earlier in the year?

[time capsule mike]

It was a Arizona rust free car most of it's life. And it's a 4 spd. With a ww5 option. All that combined makes it pretty desirable. When it was for sale a few years ago on Cars on line .com it didn't have the vinyl side stripes. Looks better without it imo. Don't get me wrong if anyone knows of another WW5 Cardinal Red with Black bucket seats and with or without a Black Vinyl top in excellent original correct condition or restored to factory standards by all means let me know. My offer to the owner won't be insulting for the right car.
