Red 1972 GTO wagon owned by Rich Kuhn. It started life as a LeMans wagon built in Framingham. Rich says that it was restored with all the GTO components in 1981. (small picture) Rich wrote in September of 2004 to give an update on this car. I have made no attempt to verify his story, but here it is...
"My 72 GTO Wagon was sold and delivered to Maui, Hawaii awhile
ago. There it will live out it's days in the Hawaiian paradise. We
found out it was built as a Le Mans in Orange from the
factory. Papers show it was then delivered to PMD in Michigan
where it was converted to a 455 H.O. and all GTO components. It
was apparently driven by a Pontiac Exec for the year and then
shipped to a dealer and sold. It was restored in the early 1980's
by Dan Jensen and Scott Tienaman, and tuned by Tin Indian. (Why
would they restore a Le Mans as a GTO in the early 80's, unless
it was something special). Probably because it was driven as a
Region Manager's car for promotion. According to a retired
Framingham exec, there were 6 done. This was the Only orange one.
In any case, it is now in Hawaii. The new owner is enjoying it
quite a Bit."

Red 1972 LeMans convertible owned by Chris Cooper from Stillwater, Oklahoma. Chris had this story to tell, "I just bought this beauty in May of 2002 from the nicest guy I've met in quite some time. He literally gave me his bed to sleep on when I came down to pick up the car. Understandably, it was hard for him to part with this car. But he and his wife felt they needed to get a more practical first car for their daughter. Thanks to their decision, I was able to purchase the car I've dreaming of for several years. It's definitely a work in progress. The car is driveable and I've enjoyed cruising around with the top down anyday the weather's permitted. At some point the car was repainted red. But the original color was Sundance Orange. And when I get to a point that I'm ready for the paint job, I plan to take it back to the factory color. Meanwhile, I'm doing small mechanical repairs like replacing the leaking radiator and overhauling the carburetor."
