Oops - oPh is correct, I completely forgot the blue stripe color.
And, Roger is also correct in calling the light colored stripe silver, NOT white.

My bad!

See - here are some pics showing just how BAD my memory is.

First, a couple of shots of my chrome nose '72 GT, just after I had sold it to a friend. As you can see, I had repainted the car from the fenders back, but the original front fender paint and stripe remain. Note - no GT cutout in the fender stripe, "GT" decal below.
Originally a 400 2V, TH400, A/C, low option car. I had installed a complete 744 cammed '71 HO engine and a 3.55 12-bolt posi, GTO springs and front sway bar, Y99 rear bar, 8" Snowflakes, etc. It was a FUN car, wish I had it back.

Then, a shot of the T41 GT at the same local club drags event. Please note the SILVER stripes. I recalled the gold Honeys and that fouled up my memory of it having gold stripes.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it, LOL!

I wish I could find pics of my dads Lucerne Blue with silver stripe 72' Lemans GT. I would give up any body part necessary to have it now. He had the choice of the Lucy Blue w/silver stripe and the white w/blue stripe. Our local police cars had just gone to white w/blue stripes and my mom thought the GT would look to much like them. I believe about the only option that wasn't on the car was the 455. It was a 400 4bbl, hurst ? 4 spd., white (parchment) interior. Front/rear sways, A/C.
If I ever find one, I'm buying it!!! It was sold locally in 77' so who knows. Maybe I'll find it some day!

Well, it's been a while, but I finally found a picture of our Lucy Blue 72 Lemans GT. We took it on a trip to Disneyland/Grand Canyon.

Nice lookin' LeMans GT! Rare to see a LeMans GT with the T41 endura option.

Say - you mentioned F & R sway bars. LeMans GT's were NOT so equipped unless optioned with the Y99 suspension package. Y99 included 1 1/8" front and rear sway bars and 15" wheels with G60 tires. The Rally II's in that pic APPEAR to be 15" wheels.A rare option indeed.

Could your Dad's car have been so optioned?

[Ltl69gto]

My dad basically got every option he could on it except the 455. He had to use it for work and he drove all over the Northwest. He was a tie & timber inspector for the Union Pacific Railroad. This was the last car he bought for work. After this, he got "company" cars. This was the last of his 4 brand new Pontiacs for work. '65 GTO, '67 Firebird H.O., '69 Custom 'S', and the Lemans GT. He had the stripe painted on after it started coming off.
I loved this car and tried to buy it from him when I was 17. They wouldn't let me. This thing would cook the tires in all four gears.

Here's a picture of me when I was around 10 in front of our '69 Custom 'S'.
