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!

[Lloyd-TX]

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

Carl Craig sent me this one.

[Lloyd-TX]

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"?

[Lloyd-TX]

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

[Lloyd-TX]

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

[Lloyd-TX]

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

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

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

[muscle_collector]

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???????????????

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!

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.

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.

OrbitOrange !!!!!!!!

just kidding
but i'm working on its designation - its likely going to boil down to meaning a completely non-available color for that model year / time frame.

It "could" have been OO though.
Maybe even BLACK.

4 was "primer" code.

work in progress

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

My dad ordered a 72 Lemans Sport when i was a kid.It was Adriatic Blue,black bucket seats,console,guages with clock,tinted glass,Formula steering wheel,400 -4bbl,no ac.It came with dark blue wheels,dog dishes,and blackwalls.I remember waxing those splitters every time he would clean the car. They were the absolutely coolest pipes ever.None of my friends could believe it came that way. In 73 he put a set of Rocket wheels on it.It was bad a$$.I wanted that car so bad but he sold it in 74 to buy a 74 Lemans Sport.I was heart broken. I had a chance to buy the car in the early 80,s,as the elderly man that bought it let his grandson drive it,and he swiped the side of the highway concrete divider. At the time i did not do bodywork,and took my body man with me to look at it,and he said it was too bad. Now years later,doing my own body work,i could have fixed that car easily.What a shame.So,i have always had a soft spot for those 72 LeMans,s.But they gotta have those side splitters!

Here's my Sundance WW5/4spd car leaving this week - Memo car like the Knafel Pontiac RA5 Judges. Never found a build sheet in the car so who knows what the memo was for.

Other way around.

There was also early & late year pricing - but the higher priced one was the auto.

Thanks Boss.

So your $1006 was a later pricing Automatic.
And the $1012 are the early pricing Auto.
