It's nice even if it's not a real 455 HO.

It is hard to understand why someone would not do a correct resto on something that rare.

It appears the car has many if not all of the 1972 year-specific parts, but the GTO technically wouldn't have had 455 emblems on the lower rocker trim. Nicely done car.

I'd hate to think of how much NOS 1972 GTO front fenders go for.

Way cool! 1972 market the reversion of the GTO to an option rather than a model. It also marked the 1st time for the 2-door post since 1967. Personally I love that car. 1972 still offered the 455 H.O., the noisy M22 rock crusher and the lack of smog pump and EGR valve. I think the guy did right by upgrading the car the way he did. A factory Dearborn 3-speed is just fine by me, but the M22 is the watershed and the H.D. 3-speed is tough to get rebuild kits for. Ducktail spoiler, where did he find that thing? Rare! Those tapered converging side stripes were actually rare, although I remember them well in the 1970s. Honeycomb wheels, such a trademark Pontiac curio. 

 

I still have the November 1971 Hot Rod magazine where they highlighted GMs high performance offerings. Regarding Pontiac, Hot Rod gave a Best Buy rating to a really neat, budget-built new 1972 Lemans 2door post. The car came with an insurable, yet hop-able 400, a fine TH400, 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear, stiff suspension with front & rear stabilizers, F60-15 Goodyears on 15x7 honeycombs, a GTO exhaust system with the side splitters, variable ratio power steering, Formula wheel, power front disk brakes and loving references to the original 1964 GTO.

Whether it's true or not, I don't know but I read the other day that there were only 2 cars produced with that spoiler. I am betting it's a reproduction, they came out a few years ago.
