Forrest, I wish you had brought that car to the BOP show a few weeks ago. I would have loved to seen it there.

Whichever came first.

Another "general standard" was a $5000.00 cap
Big Shot Brass Hats could run on up to around $5500.00 range - like yours.

*standards almost always have exceptions > for the nit pickers

Promo / Show / Marketing / Eng-Dev , could be any dollar figure on the menu.

Here is an example of what an ordinary Georgia Sold PHS for 1972 looks like , to compare.

No license fees , Memos , Discounts , etc ...

Forrest, do you still have this car? I work for 5 Star Automotive who own the original Lamar Pontiac dealership building. They said I could use if anyone wanted to take pictures of their cars inside the showroom.

No problem to me if they even delete the whole thread .

Its M_C's thread to start with , he probably doesn't mind either.

I posted that Black 72 Hard Loaded Hardtop invoice as a reference.
Don't remember whose car it is , but don't think it was Forrest's car .

Forrest put it on the table about deleting all the advice from Boss and myself.
It should be self explanatory.

I countered with just deleting the whole thread.

They have permission to delete any or all of my posts from the thread.
No problemo

In semi-related news , now when you click on the link Gary posted -
it takes you to an auction for another 72 Lemans/T41 Vert listing !

1 owner
400 - 2bbl ! wow
Buckets with Auto on Column
Window sticker is cropped not to show color codes
likely has had a color change
$20k B-I-N

They must've had about 17 engine options on a 72 Lemans

No problem if my posts get deleted - just trying to help a brother out.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Pontia...t/263732279421

Hope it goes to the Moon
its a Sweet Sweet Piece !

If eBay allows you to contact previous bidders somehow, you might could let them know you have updated and relisted.

Thanx guys for the b'day wishes!.. Chugging along with the sell.. talked to some pretty well know guys and some not...but a few are very interested...one guy I talked to.. his father bought one like mine new in '72 (but not endura option, has the 455 h/ o). and still has it!. and he ( son) always wanted one for himself..it may take a few weeks for a sale maybe longer.. no rush...is kinda depressing the bidding is not higher at this point.. no worries as of yet.. I'm sure there are people that have not seen it yet..time will give us an answer!...just went for a short drive with a/c.on . top up ( next drive TOP DOWN!)..listening to Sean H. on the FM..It really is like driving a new (1972) car, there's only about 75 miles, if that on it since finished..God I really would like to go for a long "cruise" .., but can't risk a scratch or something..Damn....I love this car...well, I still have my "70 GTO"..(first car I ever did, first car I ever owned in 1975) ..That goes to my grave with me! thanx again!

Endura was a mandatory option when you selected the 455HO due to the fact that Ram Air was part of the package.

71 could get the Chrome Nose with 455-HO , just for conversation.

Most of the bidding usually takes place in the last 2 minutes on auctions of these upper end cars. Never can tell until its over .

Something doesn’t add up as selling internationally happens all the time unfortunately. I’d let him figure it all out and see what happens with the others.
