i know its likely cause its a ford but my cougar was originaly yellow with a green interior

OOOOOPS! Is it too late to edit?

The owner is Gerry Savoy. He runs a boneyard in Allardville, NB. Now, kinda makes you wonder how a boneyard owner ended up finding a '72 GTO convertible, doesn't it?

It's still a pretty good looking car imo.

Yup, mine is Yellow and Green with a White Top!!

What are you still doing up??

Hillar, some day you need to post pics of your other cars.

Colour combos like this are the epitome of that era. That's why I didn't change my interior
to black when I restored it.

Ya, enough with the talking. Let's see them? More get added daily?

Big Ray was telling me the '73s were originally planned for '72. Gm had a styling cycle every two years so '72 was supposed to be the Collannade's debut. But a strike right around then crippled that idea making the '72s a leftover...?

That's a pretty negative post from you Carl, I know you copied it from some place but still it's not like you. Darryl is right though, the 72's were last minute carryovers.
The car we know as the '73 was intended to be the '72 if it were not for a UAW strike, so the 72/73 would have been a similar body followed by the 74/75, 76/77 which picked up the two year body style rule preceeded by the 66/67 and 68/69 styles. Can't imagine a convertible on the 73 body style although I know there are some out there.

What exactly is "negative" about Carl's post Ray?  Quite frankly, I find it to be quite factual and appropriate.  People who go around advertising non-existent cars do the hobby a diservice and those of us who know should be dispelling these myths.

I have spoken with Jim Mattison of Pontiac Historic Services, Fred Simmonds of PMD, whose work originally documented the breakdown of vehicles and options at Pontiac, and others who worked at Pontiac at the time, basically everyone who would know and would have access to the records to prove the existence of such a car and it simply doesn't exist.

Anyone who claims otherwise either doesn't know what they are talking about, hasn't bothered to do the research to substantiate their claims, or worse, is attempting to commit fraud, plain and simple.

As mentioned, there have been stories and claims by people over the years who said they had a 72 GTO convertible.  I know, I have responded to several ads just like this over the last 20 years.  When asked to step up to the plate and show their paperwork, no one has ever stepped forward.  If Carl didn't say it emphatically enough, let me say it:

THERE ARE NO 1972 PONTIAC GTO CONVERTIBLES.
