Thanks Lloyd.

Do you know if the GT option had to be ordered with the WW4 package, or could you get a regular Lemans with WW4?

I hate to sound like a Ford guy trying to break down how many cars came with ashtray delete and poverty caps But did the WW4 cars come with the GT Option and the Sport option? Then add on the T41 package.

This car has a build date of 06A, but wasn't sold until October 25, 72, So my guess is it sat on the lot or was used as a demo car. So I think the dealer may have ordered the car.

The WW4 option was available with or without the GT option. Available on all '72 2-door LeMans except convertible and Luxury LeMans.

WW4 info from Dealer Seals Manual is attached.

I have a guy feeling that this '72 GT road test from March 1972 was a WW4 car.

Please note the stillborn ducktail rear spoiler. TOO COOL!

I like the looks of the ducktail. I thought about adding it.

Lloyd could you email that story?

My car looks to have the same tires as the one in the story. Still have the original spare tire.

Yep - that's one very nice LeMans GT in that road test article!

And not only is that an OEM Wide 60 Oval 'stone tire, that a correct original "KR" code Rally II wheel it's mounted on! NICE!

send me an e-mail at [email protected] and i'll reply back with the article. I only wish my scans were better. Sorry!
