Is this really true? I had no idea that the majority of '72 TA's were Blue.

My brothers '72 is a White on Blue, 4 speed, with AC.

I'm pretty sure my 72 T/A with WD coded block came with the unitized distributor.

I wish he had posted the VIN.

I might have the motor out of that car. During the early 80s, I picked up a couple of early T/As with bad motors. Since they weren't very valuable at that time, I just stuck a regular 455 in and used them as drivers.

I've had five 72 4-spd cars over the past twenty years. Three were white and two were blue.

One thing I've never understood about 72 T/As is what determined which engine code was used. I've seen both YE and YB blocks in automatics, and WD and WM in manuals.

Anybody know the answer to this?

Mike

Unlike pmdclassics, I haven't seen that many Lucerne Blue TA's let alone 72's.
I think that they are so rare that they were collected/restored more than the white ones. Probably drove less also.
