Buy it on ebay?

I'll have to look through my notes, BVZ will probably know for sure.

Have heaps of original documents plus PHS. The car was one those featured in GTO-The Great One. Car was from Illinois. I will send some docs through tomorrow.

That would be great!

The car came from a dealer in IL originally?

Not sure if I have posted here or not as I am not on PY all that often. So, hoping this is not redundant.
I bought my 1st WW5 GTO in 1977 from the original owner who was a woman. Up until that time, had never heard of a WW5 and only found out when she included the window sticker showing and explaining what the option was. None of my Pontiac friends had heard of it either back then. That first WW5 was, sold in 1981 just as I drove it past the 100,000 mark. I even knew when I sold it, that it would be a mistake.
So, I promised myself I would purchase the next one I would find.
That brings us to this one. I bought it summer 1984 and am the 3rd owner with about 100,000miles.
It was bought new at Bud Beck Pontiac in Scottsdale, Az and has 'lived' in Az all its life though she has traveled most of the US.
In the mid to late 1990s, I did considerable upgrades to make the WW5 even nicer handling, comfort, etc that it was. I just love the car and it is kind of like part of my body as I have driven it so much.
In the fall of 2007, I took this WW5 GTO on, what I believe is, the longest road trip of all time for a vintage real muscle car. I left Arizona in mid September and returned in early November being on the road for 7 weeks and drove the GTO 10,800 miles! There is a thread here on PY from that trip. I have the link somewhere.
Anyway, she is in primer now and recently turned the half million mile mark so, am doing paint prep for her next paint job. This will probably be the last paint job for her in my life time. Am planning this WW5 GTO to be part of my Pontiac Heaven museum here in Arizona. The original shortblock has been tucked away since around 1987. I am about ready to assemble it and reunite the original short block with the original heads and intake before I paint her. Heads were just rebuilt and am ready to assemble them too. Since 1987, I have driven her with an upgraded 455 2 bolt short block using the HO heads , intake and top end.

Not sure if there is another factory round port Pontiac with 500,000 miles. This has been a great car and thousands of great experience with her and I cannot wait to get into her for another ride.
Some of the improvements to make her better, most were done in the 1990s-
* 1 1/4" TA front sway bar
* WS6 steering box, center link, idler ( quicker steering than a TA)
*over drive trans
* rear discs adapted from a caddy eldo
* larger fuel tank, extta range
* custom reciever hitch, I do a lot of towing
*other custom suspension for better cornering
* glass front bumper
* trunk mounted battery
* custom stereo with a pair of 12" subs
* Recaro LS seats
*custom 2.5" exhaust with 'H' pipe, stock tail pipes/splitters
*round port tri Y headers
* forged pistons, prepped rods, later baffled pan
*modified cooling system
* modified heads
* larger cam
There is more but, this is enough for now. I do all work myself except for upholstery.
This car is very special to me and have enjoyed a large part of my life driving and enjoying it.

Here is a link for a 1972 GTO WW5 for sale in Wisconsin. Automatic car in Sundance orange but I would check PHS documents to be sure. Just saw it on Facebook, it has a good start for restoration but is all torn apart and needs to be put back together. Hopefully the link works.

I was just going to list that car on this post. Here's the craigslist ad for the same car.

I am planning to purchase a window sticker for my WW5. Does PHS or Mike Noun do a better job with the description in the window sticker? The costs are about the same but it looks like Mike has done more research based on production locations. Your comments are welcome.

Mark, Mike Noun does the best window stickers by far.
