On a whim, found this 72 Monte Carlo with same light green vinyl top.
All original - one owner 64,000 miles.

The color had to be on the books in 1972 for these guys to pick it out.
Could have been a midyear offering,
and we don't have the addendum available to us for it.
Dealers wouldn't have had 1973 color sample catalogs in March 72
Much less displaying them for selections - even if they did.
These old folks picked this color themselves back then.
Probably 3rd party admirers have bamboozled him with the 1973 info and he just runs with it as an extra woohah.
Don't think he is intentionally trying to say he went back to the future.
Just a case of ill guided info decades later from others.
He also said he ordered it at the end of 72 GTO production in 72.
His is late March , but we have WW5's as late as June 72.
Innocent misguided info is what i blame for the quirks.
He ordered it, still owns it with incredible low mileage, and it's a Bad Ass GTO
Job Well Done
