Picked this up last week.....72 Lemans post coupe with PHS documented GTO option. One owner, all original, unmolested 400/auto, 3:23 posi, A/C, and 5 original honeycombs. 113kmiles. Almost perfect black bench seat column shift interior. Still has rubber mat flooring under some cheap black carpet. Runs and drives. Has had one Earl Scheib esque repaint. Some rust in the usual areas but nothing terrible. Never cared much for the front end style of the 71/72 but this car is changing my mind.

That would be a multi-invoice car that had previous use by a vested PMD personnel.
The build date on the trim tag should pre-date the invoice date by a more than normal margin.

You can check with PHS if they have another earlier invoice for it .
If you can locate a build sheet within the car , it will tell where or which department it was built for.
Sometimes even a name.

Are those 15" Honeycombs or 14" ?

Great find and nice options! And you can tow your boat now too!

correct me if im wrong, but i think they should be 14" because there is nothing on the option list to default them to the 15" wheel.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

If it had a tire option it would indicate us the rim size.
The rims were same price . Iirc

I'm not exactly sure how that works without a tire option -
I don't know if there would have even been a no upcharge 15" tire.
Probably not , but thought I better ask to confirm.

[S Courter]

Baron....Not sure I understand? Are you seeing something in the PHS? Was told by PO that his father ordered the car and he did not work at PMD. Here is the data tag. I have not found a build sheet so far. Honeycombs are 14 inch.

oPH Here are a couple pictures of the seats.

In the lower body of invoice it's marked a 5% car
2 lines below that is the discounted code 21
Those are the codes we normally see when a car had some type of mild previous duty within PMD or Zone.

But the Trim Tag date and Invoice date do not have a margin.
So it's a new puzzle I can't recall seeing yet.
Usually there will be a 2-3 month gap ,,,, or even more.

The dealer got the car at a discount.
There were all types of dealer discount incentives , but those programs do not usually show up on individual invoices.

I don't have an explanation on this one.
Maybe the man worked at a GM supplier of some sort .... I don't know.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

I don't have access to all my old files and worksheets on previous invoice data to make any comparisons. And I'm getting a little dusty due to lack of involvements with them for the past couple of years.

Might check a PoP date or any sales contract dates or original title date for more clues.

I have made a lot of progress on the 72. It looks so much better then it did a year ago. It is almost ready for paint. I am going to put that off till spring. I have plenty of things to get done over the winter.

[DavesGTO]

very nice!

Here is another post 72 else on this site, this one with Bullet mirrors.

I did not think post cars got Bullet mirrors as they would hit the vent window. Olds found this out with the Rallye 350, note upper right.

Those post cars are so damn cool. Very nice work, Steve ...

[Mr_GTO]

I had the chance to buy a post car. I didn't but someone else did and restored it. Here is the thread on that one.
