Thanks. |

'72 LeMans GT stripes were available in 3 colors - black, gold and white. All were reflective 3M material.
Drew, I can tell you that if that's your Lucerne Blue car in your avatar, the stripes could be "white" (actually more of a pearlescent silver-white due to the reflectivity), or gold. I owned an original paint, chrome-nose, Lucy Blue '72 LeMans GT 25 years ago and mine had the white stripes on it. There was also a T41, Lucy Blue '72 LeMans GT 455HO car here in town that I'm fairly certain was also an original paint car, and it had the gold stripes on it. Unfortunately, you would need the build sheet (not the invoice) to know what color stripes were originally applied to your car. HTH!

Have a ton of factory paperwork, & looked & looked for a copy of documentation as to what color of stripes went with what color of car, many years ago when I was running the GT-37 Survey & was reproducing the reflective style D98 stripes. Even after gaining access to, & eventually aquiring dealer albums, never ran across a stripe color useage document for any of the reflective D98 stripes
![]() Below is list of '72 colors & the colors of reflective D98 stripes I've examined on original chrome front bumper '72 LeMans & LeMans GT's. Quite a few endura nose LeMans GT's had the 9 stripe version which was avail on '72 LeMans when ordered with GTO pkg. Many others came with reflective style stripes. Have never been able to figure why some got one version & some received the other, may have been supply issues. Have run across similiar supply issues with the front fender GT cutout issue. Not all original reflective LeMans GT front fender stripes had the GT cutout. Cowl tag paint code... '72 Pontiac color name... Reflective D98 stripe COLOR 11... Cameo Ivory... BLUE 14... Revere Silver... BLUE 24... Adriatic Blue... SILVER 26... Lucerne Blue... SILVER 43... Springfield Green... GOLD 48... Wilderness Green... GOLD 50... Brittany Biege...??? 53... Quezal Gold... BLACK 55... Shadow Gold... ??? 56... Monarch Yellow...??? (only have parted this color '72 w 9 stripe decals) 57... Brasilia Gold... GOLD 63... Anaconda Gold... ??? 65... Sundance Orange... BLACK 75... Cardinal Red... GOLD --- Special order paint (painted 69 chevrolet rally green)... SILVER --- Special order paint (painted 70 Pontiac burgandy)... BLACK In a few cases the original stripes were merely reminants on back of the fender jambs. A few colors, I have never ran across & are noted by ???. Hope this helps. |

Oops - oPh is correct, I completely forgot the blue stripe color.
And, Roger is also correct in calling the light colored stripe silver, NOT white. My bad!

Say - does anyone own or have access to a '72 LeMans assy manual?
I've personally never seen one. That would tell the tale.

See - here are some pics showing just how BAD my memory is.
First, a couple of shots of my chrome nose '72 GT, just after I had sold it to a friend. As you can see, I had repainted the car from the fenders back, but the original front fender paint and stripe remain. Note - no GT cutout in the fender stripe, "GT" decal below. Originally a 400 2V, TH400, A/C, low option car. I had installed a complete 744 cammed '71 HO engine and a 3.55 12-bolt posi, GTO springs and front sway bar, Y99 rear bar, 8" Snowflakes, etc. It was a FUN car, wish I had it back. Then, a shot of the T41 GT at the same local club drags event. Please note the SILVER stripes. I recalled the gold Honeys and that fouled up my memory of it having gold stripes. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, LOL!

Drew,
Years ago i bought a 71 GT-37 that had been re-painted and While i knew it was an early car with the eyebrow stripes i didnt know for sure which color they were, I owned the car for several years before starting on it and when i removed the front fenders I was able to find part of the original stripes wrapped around on to the back side of the fenders. depending on the car and how they were removed this might be something to look into. T/A |

OPH lists a 72 GT painted 1970 Burgundy and having a black stripe. My car was originally Rosewood (code 78) and is an early (eyebrow) 1971 GT-37. I have always assumed that it would have come with white/red eyebrows, but maybe it's possible they were black/red?

Here is a copy of the 1972 Car Distribution Bulletin sent to Pontiac dealers in '72 showing stripe color to body color. The column for Lemans includes stripe colors for Rally Vinyl Stripe option(upc D98) on Lemans and Lemans Sport models and GT models-NOT GTO.
From all the cars we sold in '72 this is how striping was used 1.All Lemans/Lemans Sport with out GT or Endura Styling option had the 'sword' stripe with -no- cutout. 2.All Lemans/Lemans Sport with out GT-with Endura Styling option had the '9 laser stripe' in white or black based on body color. 3.All GT option with or with out Endura Styling option had the 'sword'stripe with 'GT' cutout in front of front wheel well. 4. All GTO when ordered with upc D98 Rally Vinyl Stripe had the '9 laser stripe' in black or white. |
