This 1972 Pontiac GTO Ram Air is powered by a matching-numbers
455ci HO V-8 engine rated at 300hp, paired with a Turbo-Hydramatic
automatic transmission and Safe-T-Track rear end. The date-coded
matching-numbers drivetrain includes 7F6 Ram Air cylinder heads,
rocker-arm oil baffles, an aluminum intake manifold and an 800 CFM
Quadrajet carburetor dated the 245th day of 1971. The carburetor
was professionally rebuilt. The engine retains its unitized
distributor and factory Ram Air system with a GM Ram Air air
cleaner stamped AC Delco on the underside. The XT-code rear axle is
dated the 348th day of 1971. Replacement GM fan belts, radiator
hoses and clamps are installed. A factory-style Gardner full-length
exhaust system is fitted with factory-style brackets and no welds.
The undercarriage has been dry-ice blasted, and the factory
oxide-painted floors are retained. Factory-style replacement spiral
shocks are installed, and the car is equipped with power brakes, as
well as air conditioning. The Adriatic Blue exterior was repainted
in 2000 and retains all-original sheet metal. Exterior equipment
includes a replacement white vinyl top, Endura front bumper, hood
scoops, T3 headlights, Rally II wheels, wheel-opening moldings and
five new Firestone G70-14 tires. The factory date-coded glass is
retained except for the replaced windshield. The white interior
features Strato bucket seats, a front console, custom cushion
steering wheel, original seat belts, wood-grain trim, and an unused
cigarette lighter and ashtray. The factory AM/FM radio, front and
rear speakers and dash gauges are functional. Additional equipment
includes power steering, variable-ratio steering and Soft Ray
glass. The car received a frame-on refurbishment and was repainted
in 2000. It is one of 325 1972 GTO hardtops produced with the 455
HO engine and automatic transmission. Included with the sale is PHS
paperwork and a build sheet. 30,215 miles (title reads exempt).
