TJ, as a '72 LeMans Sport GT convert (only built In '71 & 72 @ the Pontiac home plant), your 72 was finished in Sundance orange with a black reflective GT stripe. If it was not GT optioned, but just D98 stripe optioned, it should have the sword style stripes with no GT cut outs in the front fender stripes.

In the early 90's, I was the first to commercially reproduce the 71 1/2 GT-37 stripes along with the '72 LeMans GT stripes. For a near decade long period, had contact with a ton of owners of original 9 stripe stripe '72's (they wanted me to reproduce that style stripe pkg). From that experience, & info that has come to light since, the only known LeMans GT's factory built with T41 front end & 9 stripe decals instead of the refective sword style, were a few LeMans GT hardtops built for a small window of time out of the Lakewood assembly plant.
