If they aren't 455 or 455HO ... or at least a Manual 400 Car ,
they don't draw much from the buyer market
Even the upper echelon 72's are slow to sell until the price gets right.
71's fare a little better
68's are coming up slowly but steadily
It doesn't mean NOBODY likes them, just way fewer
Even the original GTO Restoration Guide only went up to 1970 models.
71 and 72 Chevelles have always been very popular on the Chevy side.
Always
As far as profiting and selling faster -the best you could do with that car is clone it into a 71 Judge look-alike in a good color combination.
Or keep lowering the price until someone bites.
Thats just the bitter truth

I guess the question is, will a 400 auto 72 GTO ever hit it's stride in the market? As I said, I'd love to save this car as a future resto MOD project due to the fact there is no rust repair required, but that requires some "butchering" for a custom chassis and likely a LS/LT engine and aftermarket manual trans yadda. I'm not so concerned about purists hating on me as much as in 15 years kicking myself because all of the sudden a 72 GTO is selling like 68/69 383 Chargers are these days
