Forrest, that's one BEAUTIFUL car!!! And, rare hardly begins to describe it. 1 of 5? How many left??? Only one other I'm aware of . . .
Poncho-Mike needs to get in on this thread. He's got one! He describes it as rough, but RARE indeed.
Also, way back in the early 80's, I saw another '72 T41 LeMans GT with those same "455" emblems in exactly the same position. It was a darn nice looking Lucerne Blue hardtop car. I saw it racing at the old Houston International Dragway on 45 south near Galveston. I was there racing my chrome-nosed Lucerne Blue '72 LeMans GT (455HO transplant) and I never got a chance to look at it up close, so I don't know if it was a d-port or a 455HO car.
Roger: I know my memory ain't the best, but I'll swear that the T41 455 LeMans GT I mention above had the white, reflective "sword" stripes on it. It APPEARED to be an original paint car as well.
Maybe some day my '72 GTO will look half as nice as Forrest's car!
Later,
