Power Steering, Drum Brakes, Bench Seat, Formula Wheel, Hood Tach, 4-speed...Love to see the PHS on that car. You wonder who/how these things got ordered.
Chris was that a two-tone interior with the white on the door panel? Any more interior pics? BJ

Seeing those sport mirrors makes me wonder what other "options" have been added. Like the HO engine, or . . . ?

Looks like an option adder to me. way too busy for a post car. Ducktail spoiler, sport mirrors... hood tach, wasn't it dealer only install for '72? The std door panels with a black vinyl seat should be black. Unless someone shows me a trim code, and a lot of documentation, I don't buy the mix & match. My Dad & I tried several times in the 70's to special order a few cars with mix & match bucket seat interiors, with no luck, & that's going through zone, knowing the zone manager, & reps, & having a priority 1 order.
What's the deal on core support filler? Non a/c's 455's & 455HO's come with them in '72? Did one have to order Heavy Duty Cooling to get the filler panel on a non a/c 4spd '72 HO A-body?

Door trim panels are white lowers with black uppers? Weird. About that radiator support filler - it seems that I recall that all A/C cars + all HOs got 'em?

On the core support fillers I'm more attuned to '71 usage. I've seen so many early '71 455 D-port & 455HO cars restored with the repro filler panel (when it wasn't even avail) that's it usage on a later production no a/c 455 cars just sets off bells.

In the old days, owners used to haphazardly lay their burning cigarettes on the fillers
Searched high & low for a really nice original for my good friends '70 WT7 Judge.

In 1972, Pontiac designed a rear spoiler for their Lemans and GTO models,
a design copied from their popular Firebird Formula and Trans Am models. Dubbed a "ducktail spoiler", Pontiac intended to offered this spoiler as an option, but as luck would have it, the mold for the spoiler broke after only a handful of spoilers were made, and the excessive cost of creating a new mold was not deemed feasible, so Pontiac simply deleted the option. Only a couple cars were rumored to have been built with the spoiler, and the remaining spoilers Pontiac had produced were unceremoniously dumped into the parts bins. Unfortunately, Super Stock Magazine printed an article late in the model year (March 1972) of a Lemans GT using the ducktail spoiler, an option which had already been deleted from Pontiac's 1972 options list. |

I was cleaning out some old files today and stumbled across this large glossy promo photo from Pontiac of a '72 LeMans GT w/ ducktail spoiler. I have no idea when (other than a long time ago...) or why I got it, since I've never owned a '72 A-Body. Looking at what it was adjacent to in my file (a glossy of a '77 Can Am... of which I did once own one), I think it may have been inadvertently sent in the package for that car.

option adder has wrong shifter too..thats a 69 back..people think all GTOs have the "hook" type shifter in bench seat cars......the...70-72 uses the same shifter thru all models..bench...buckets no console...console etc...the more ya look at it the more its inconsistent...
BUT..id love to have it, and wouldnt change a thing...
