Here you go Bob.

The 2-pager below was the actual correct version of a Canadian window sticker for the black car. As you may recall, Canada didn't have a "Munroney Law" since that was unique to the U.S. So the U.S. version of a sticker above would not be accurate.

$6,384.96 is what I got with my research of the Canadian records.

I created this off of a pattern from a 1972 Corvette that was delivered in Canada back in 72, which was photographed by an enthusiast at the time.

i thought "this" Silver Spring, Maryland invoice was your car.
And the Canadian was someone else's.

So the record is straight again
BlackWidow was from Canada and blows them all away on Content and Cost
-- very sorry for my mistakes

The U$D w/s version is the fairest comparison on money.
I didn't count the Canadian anti-freeze as an option on purpose - it's un-american

[unruhjonny]

wow!

I didn't see that coming!?!

[Formulabruce]

Saw many Canadian Stickers in the 70's .Steve is correct about pricing, they packed it on, regardless of the current Exchange rate, or the Illegal Moosehead beer racket !

Just look at that chrome hurst shifter, and defrost switch!

But it’s the top 72 HO Formula in all categories!

a special color being Black on Black, loaded with options, with the goodies being 455HO, 4 speed, posi, handling, honeys, deluxe with formula wheel...

1 of 82 Pontiac’s muscle sports car, with performance.

Collector Museum quality 6 figures or someone steals it?

besides being the "highest octane known to exist" made ;-) I got a kick out of the "original sheet metal" too.

Doesn't the seller have any idea what went into making that car so perfect?

I'd think that the current seller doesn't know, or didn't care to share it (as in, don't let the facts get in the way of talking it up).

Just this thread alone would beyond a doubt prove everything put into this car for any potential owner;
This thread is some serious documentation!

I am still surprised that Bob let it go.
I expected that with all the work put into it, that he'd want to enjoy it!?

I think its definitely the top dog #1 "Formula Hooded" car of all time.
Thats a big statement because we all know there are some really kick ass cars still in existence within that category.
It's actually my top pick of all cars built in 1972, if they were all Free - just pick 1 out

loose guessing
in a Perfect Storm of bidder prospects = 111,000

CoVid19 Rehab Mecum = 88-91k

eBay = 72-75k

PY Peanut Gallery/non-potential buyers = 45k with a full tank of highest octane known to exist

Bring-A-Trailer = 185,000

Damn, I’m getting seller’s remorse reading all these posts and seeing the Mecum photos .....

It will be interesting to see what it bids to and at what price the seller is willing to cut it loose. Even in the perfect storm range he’ll be losing a big chunk of change and if the reserve get’s lifted in the CoVid range I will be tempted to try to buy it back.

Both Funny, AND accurate!

This beauty sells for 120K plus buyers premium or the bid goes on. From a Museum perspective, it is Not Replaceable.. Few parts in there I am pretty proud of !!!!!

Someone knows the Value of a great car ! The Blue car outperformed my expectations as well with its few issues.

Looks like the S104 listing has been scrubbed from the site. How did you find the sale page?

Congrats to the new owner.
Such an incredible piece of perfected machinery .
I wonder if the same buyer bought both of the 72's

Great accomplishment for the seller
That was SUPER-SONIC
almost Bring-A-Trailer money !

Was also kind of curious about it disappearing from the Mecum site.
Last night I even checked the whole listing for all of Saturday - and its nowhere.
Maybe Dana Mecum bought it ?

I also checked through ALL the Pontiac results for the whole event.
Very high ratio of SOLD
Majority did well too.

If you go through it day by day for ALL CARS, there were a lot of cars during the week that went for good deals (on-the-cheap)
Even some higher caliber cars

Vettes and Camaros have really settled down.
Especially Vettes overall

20-30 years ago it would have been a Ridiculous JOKE to say a 77-78 Bandit type TA would bring more than a 1970 Camaro SS 396/375hp 4spd solid-lifter car.
That is basically their RamIV F-body
Several late 2nd gen TA's outbid the top dog 2nd gen Red Camaro SS

I was logged in from 3 pm on..

[njsteve]

I was too. And when I refreshed to see that lot number, it was gone. Yeah, Dana probably bought it and it will pop up on his gallery section soon.

Edit: Forgot to give Darrell credit for his incredible work in restoring this car.
