BEAUTIFUL SUPER SUPER RARE 1972 LEMANS SPORT GTO CONVERTIBLE 455 NUMBERS MATCHING THIS IS A VERY VERY RARE LEMANS SPORT CONVERTIBLE WITH FACTORY 455 ENGINE AND FACTORY ENDURA FRONT END OPTION….BASICALLY THEY DID NOT OFFER THE GTO IN CONVERTIBLE FORM IN 1972. BUT THIS CAR WAS SPECIALLY ORDERED TO BE JUST WHAT A 1972 GTO CONVERTIBLE WOULD BE. THE 455 ENGINE AND THE GTO ENDURA FRONT END ARE ON THE FACTORY INVOICE AND IS THE WAY THIS CAR LEFT THE FACTORY. PONTIAC HISTORICAL SERVICES CAN’T SAY FOR SURE HOW RARE, BUT ESTIMATES ARE IT IS ONE OF ABOUT 20 or 30 CONVERTIBLE CARS THAT LEFT THE FACTORY WITH THE 455 ENGINE AND GTO ENDURA FRONT END…EVEN RARER ON THIS CAR IS THAT IT IS SO HIGHLY OPTIONED. FOR WHATEVER REASON THE TITLE TO THIS CAR DOES READ MODEL: GTO AND DESCRIPTION: GTO HERE IS VIN# 2D67Y2P196673 CLEARLY SHOWING THE Y=455 ENGINE OPTION TO VIEW ADDITIONAL PHOTOS PLEASE CLICK (OR CUT AND PASTE) LINK: https://picasaweb.google.com/Ohiocaps/PontiacPictures# SUPER SHARP CAR THAT IS VERY RARE AND DIFFERENT...YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE ONE OF THESE ANYTIME SOON. MY MOTHER HAS OWNED THIS CAR PERSONALLY FOR 15 YEARS AND NEVER REALLY PLANNED ON SELLING BUT CURRENT FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES WARRANTS ME SELLING THIS RARE CAR. FULL PONTIAC HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION (PHS) ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS 455 MOTOR ORIGINAL TURBO 400 AUTO TRANSMISSION ORIGINAL 12 BOLT POSI REAR END FACTORY ENDURA FRONT END POWER STEERING POWER DISC BRAKES BUCKETS FACTORY COLOR CODED CONSOLE FACTORY RALLY DASH WITH GAUGES FACTORY CRUISE CONTROL REAR DECK LID SPOILER FACTORY DUAL EXHAUST FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING AM-FM FACTORY RADIO FACTORY ORIGINAL 8-TRACK POWER TOP FACTORY TINTED GLASS REMOTE DRIVERS MIRROR SUPER STRAIGHT AND SOLID BODY WITH EXCEPTIONAL LIGHT CREAM YELLOW EXTERIOR WITH COMPLIMENTING SADDLE INTERIOR. EXCELLENT SOLID FLOORS AND TRUNK. THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY REBUILT TOP TO BOTTOM (EVERYTHING!!). APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES ON THE ENGINE & THE CAR SINCE ITS FRAME ON RESTORATION 15 YEARS AGO. WHEN THE CAR WAS FINISHED IT TURNED OUT STUNNING AND MY MOM WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF STONE CHIPS (WHICH TO THIS DAY IT DOES NOT HAVE!). THE CAR HAS TAKEN BEST OF SHOW AT THE GREATER NORTHERN REGIONAL OHIO PONTIAC SHOW WITH MANY OTHER TROPHIES THAT FOLLOWED. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES FANTASTIC, ALWAYS HAS STARTED EASY AND VERY NICE TO DRIVE. FOR ALL THOSE WHO MIGHT QUESTION THE 455 EMBLEMS ON THE FRONT FENDERS - THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AND ORIGINAL TO THIS CAR. ALSO, THE CAR RETAINS ALL ITS ORIGINAL BODY PANELS. NOS PARTS USED ON THIS CAR INCLUDE REAR BUMPER, ALL WHEEL WELL OPENING MOULDINGS, ROCKER MOULDINGS, DOOR SILL MOULDINGS, PONTIAC TRUNK EMBLEM, REAR VALANCE, FRONT TURN SIGNAL BEZELS. THE POWER TOP WORKS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. THERE ARE NO PHOTOS WITH THE TOP DOWN DUE TO THE FACT IT WAS VERY COLD WHEN ALL THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AND I WAS NOT GOING TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF DAMAGING THE CANVAS. YES, THERE ARE NO GTO STICKERS ON THIS CAR. AS APPEALING AS THEY ARE & CHEAP & EASY TO INSTALL, THEY DO NOT BELONG. IF THE NEXT OWNER WOULD LIKE THAT PERSONA THAT IS HIS CHOICE. UNFORTUNATELY & WITH SINCERE APOLOGIES I WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVENING MARCH 30TH. AT THAT TIME I WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS & MAKE MY PHONE NUMBER AVAILABLE. THE CAR ORIGINATED FROM NORTH CAROLINA, SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE DOWN THERE AND I DO HAVE ALOT OF THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK, DOCUMENTS, ETC. THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED NEW. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY AS IT IS ALSO BEING LISTED LOCALLY. ATTENTION PROSPECTIVE OVERSEAS BUYERS: YOU MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE PLACING YOUR BID OR I WILL CANCEL IT.

(UPDATED FRAME PHOTOS) In an effort for everybody to have a better understanding of this car, I am posting this important message. I have stated that the frame & complete underneath of this car is COMPLETELY RUST FREE, UNDAMAGED & has NO REPAIRS to it. After having an interested party doubt the quality of the frame in the area that is seen in the photos, I was compelled/driven to take the following action. I am the one that restored this car in its entirety (paint, engine, etc. – everything) and pride myself with the results. I understand that it is hard to judge a car by photos. I stated in my description that the frame & floors – the entire underneath of this car, is without any damage, any rust & any repairs. I feel so strongly about this car that I was driven to taking chemical paint stripper to a section of the frame. Tonight (4/1) I stripped down that section with the stripper & steel wool & nothing else to show you exactly what the frame is like. What you see in these photos is exactly how this entire frame is. Absolutely 100% original factory welds (no rust). This is how the frame looks from the firewall forward as I previously stated – when I did it when the front clip was off & engine was out. I just wanted you to have a true picture that this car is as I have described in the listing. I understand how difficult it is to buy a car unseen & to judge by photos alone. I hope this helps. I have added the frame photos to the photo link provided earlier in the description. Thanks.
