1972 Pontiac Le Mans gt Additional Info:
. Relisted because more details needed..Here is my very rare ( owned and enjoyed and registered in my name for 18 years or so) 1972 Lemans GT 455 H/O ram air automatic transmission Convertible. Brittany beige ext. and dark saddle interior with a black top.. and black accents. Just gorgeous. This is a 1 OF 5 ordered like this. Very rare car..( per Jim Mattison at PHS and phs documents) this a GM "brass hat executive" ordered car. You could NOT get/order a GTO convertible in 1972..so when he ordered his Lemans he also ordered the options to make it as close as a GTO convertible as possible.. adding the famous 455 H/O round port with ram air, the GT and all other options.. making this a very rare " brass hat" highly desirable car..see phs(pontiac historical services) attached picture for the documentation..
This is the real deal,all restored as ordered with the exceptions detailed below.Car is turn key..nothing is needed to finish. Selling because lost interest and it belongs in someones collection or museum to retain the #1 restoration I've done.
Very late mfr. date..5th month of 1972.. could very well be one of the last of any a body muscle cars manufactured..After the "brass hat" enjoyed It (for 3-4 months) it was delivered on 8/72 to Taber Pontiac in Atlanta GA. Then sold to a Teacher at Ga. tech from what I could tell... And it's been here in Ga. ever since! I found it at a small shop (20 or so years ago) disassembled,with both quarters damaged and neglected, appeared a resto was started on it. This is all the info I have on it's history..
Please see attached PHS for more info..455 H/O with RAM AIR ..#s matching YB block (4 bolt main) build date early May. 1972.( completely rebuilt of course..trw forged..30 over..arp 4 bolt main studs)..7f6 Heads date are late 71. correct 1972 2 piece aluminum intake 485640 late 1971.. 7042270 ram air automatic carb date 2081.. .. 1972 PQ trans matching # no date.. the original posi 12 bolt rear (XT 3:07 ratio 3969278, only date I could find is 123rd day then "e")I'm certain it is the original..unitized ignition (1112133 (oct.1971) with NOS wires ( first year for this) It is not unusual for dates to be earlier than mfr date of car on such a late/rare mfr. car
