I just was referred to this site after hunting for a long time for a support group for my 1972 Firebird Formula, sold new at London Motor Products in London, Ontario. I found the thread you have on Canadian documentation and I would love to get the original wondow sticker reproduced from the docs I have.
The car is rather bizarre - a real one-of-one. It has 34 options including special order black paint. It seems that in 1972 you could not get a black car from Pontiac so the original owner paid the extra money to get the factory to paint it black. Its a 455HO, M22 four speed, (all original drivetrain) a/c, ps, pw, pdl, rear defogger, etc.
Here is the current restoration threads I have on it:
And the prior ones for my 1972 Trans Am that I restored over 8 years. It is double posted on two different sites so I could annoy twice as many people:
