Too bad they didn't have more to ID it, at least a VIN.
The cowl tag does narrow it some. (but not for it might be a WW5)

There is a car on the list that is close to that 09D.

So, can't tell if it is a new one or one already on list.
BVZ probably has better insight.

I am looking for some parts to restore this genuine numbers matching with PHS history. Car was exported new to New Zealand and has been off the road since 1991. Picked up as barn find and needs a bit of work but nothing that cannot be fixed. Missing carburretor at present . need serial number 7042270. Any chavce of one in someones spares or a contact in the states for me to get in touch with.

I owned and restored the above WW5 72 GTO. I finished the restoration in spring of 1997. It was all numbers matching and restored to the build sheet. Including the G60 x 15 Good Year raised white letter tires. The car received Best of Show GTOAA 1997. went through the AACA awards and received Senior Grand Nation Award. Received Best GTO at Norwalk and Best of Show at many Pontiac shows. It was and excellent specimen of a 1972 GTO WW5 car. I have a tear in my eye looking at it on eBay today.

I think you posted some old pictures of the car before, from back then.
And they were so good we thought it must have been trick photography or pro photography.

I guess someone else added the Air Conditioning

Is this car in the database? Description says it's a ww5 post car? Any more cars found recently?

[johnta1]

Yes I believe it is in there.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

The Black PostCar is in here somewhere.
1 owner car.
There is an older appraisal that was done on the car years ago - listed with it.
I don't remember if it was the same amount they are asking now , but it was an astronomical number.

It's an irreplaceable car , but at 330k I think anyone would happily sell it.

One just popped up on TradeMe here in NZ. Owner claims it's a WW5 but no other details;

Seller states the NZ car has been repainted during it's life - apparently it was originally Brasilia Gold.

Ebay has the engine for P129379 WW5.
Think Boss' car at one time?


Engine VIN looks 'off' though?

John, that font is very legit for a Pontiac assembly plant build. Here is a RAIII YZ code 400 engine I've had since 1974.

Betting the WW5 GTO in NZ is this one from previous page of posts.

This one was originally bought new at Bud Beck Pontiac in Scottsdale so, has lived its entire life here in Arizona though it has traveled/visited all over the US. Orignal color- Brintanny beige with white int. I converted it to Cardinal Red/Black as a tribute to my first WW5. Am thinking will return to white int when restored. I am the 3rd owner and only found it and became aware of it because I was driving my 71 GTO 455HO to a party one night. As I parked, a guy and his gal came up to me asking questions on the car. One of his questions was "It is really a 455HO?" I told him yes, it was an original 455HO GTO. After a few minutes, he said, "I Know these engines are hard to find parts for, I own one". Well, that was it- no more party, I wanted to see the 72 GTO 455HO! We ended up going to his home to see it. He repeatedly insisted it was not for sale but, I was determined. yes, I bought it that night and if I was not driving my 71 GTO 455HO he would have never likely approached me. Hoping this short story is welcomed.

Steve, have any data to share on this one? I thought it might have been in here already, but don't think so?


Cowl tag info/date, PHS, etc?
