1972 Pontiac Lemans Endura (gto) Convertible on 2040-cars

Up for auction is a 1972 Pontiac Lemans Endura GTO body code 72 23567 - 1972 (72) Pontiac (2) Lemans/GTO (35) 2-Door Convertible (67). This is a custom-built convertible with all the nicest options Pontiac had to offer in 1972 plus some modern ones as well. The motor is a 1972 Pontiac 455 cubic inch H/O RAM AIR motor with functioning RAM AIR. The car is outfitted with the optional side splitter exhaust (extremely rare for 1972), rear spoiler (actually a 1971 spoiler as the original 1972 “ducktail” spoiler just didn’t look tough enough, Rally II wheels, white interior, white convertible top, numerous NOS and/or original EVERYTHING (with the exception of the 10 – BOLT 3:55 posi-traction gears I had installed and Edelbrock carburetor). It has an NOS hood, numerous other interior and exterior NOS items, some only one of a kind in existence. The car took over three years to build and complete. Although it is a stunning example of a gorgeous restoration, it does need a handful of minor open items to be completed:

1. It needs a new turbo 350 transmission dipstick tube (the current one causes a fluid leak).
2. It needs a convertible top motor repair.
3. Trunk spatter paint respray
4. Trunk lid edge paint bubble repair and paint (typical 1972 trunk)
5. Small paint chip in front passenger fender (all paint blemish issues EASILY repaired)

I finished 99% of the car and decided to store it for when I had the time to complete it. Since my life is so busy, I have decided to put the car up for sale and make the new owner aware of the items required for completion and price the car accordingly. The car has been in heated, climate-controlled storage since 2003 and has not been started in a number of years.
