OK, it's been bugging me all last night, so this morning I got out ALL of my old pics from years past and went through them until I found what i was looking for - two pics of the Lucerne Blue '72 T41 LeMans I mentioned in my post above. One real good side shot showing the white reflective "spear" side stripes and one fair (not very close) rear shot.
Now I'm unsure if this car was a LeMans GT or not. Clearly no GT identification or anything else in the side view except for the above mentioned "455" badge - just aft of the front side marker lamp. The rear shot once again isn't too clear, but I can't make out a "GT" decal on the RH side of the deck lid like my chrome-nosed '72 GT had. I can see the "PONTIAC" emblem below the lock cylinder.
I also found the negatives for the pics, so I'm gonna have reprints and a CD made from the negatives and I'll post them ASAP. If there's any way I can determine the license plate number from the reprints, I'm gonna make an attempt to find out what happened to this car. Small chance of that since these pics were taken in the very early 80's. I'd sure like to find out if this was a HO car!
Later,
Lloyd
