Cardinal Red 1972 455 GTO hardtop owned by Pat Smith from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Pat tells us about its history, "A former North Carolina car entering Canada in 1989. It was restored four years ago and given a few Pontiac GTO custom touches by the previous owner including Hurst Dual Gate shifter, Ram Air induction system and HO455 intake, and 1969 Judge spoiler. It is a nice numbers matching engine and transmission car. This one came with D98 strobe stripes but they were not reapplied during the restoration. The owner didn't know what the code was. This one is replacing my Trans Am of seven years - a nice upgrade! Options from factory include; AM/FM stereo, 8-track player, console, electric clock, Custom Sport steering wheel, G60x15 wheels, variable ratio power steering, custom interior, Rally IIs, 455 4-bbl engine (Y code), Safe-T-Track axle, power discs, and rear defogger. It sold new at Red Holman Pontiac in Ann Arbor, Michigan!"CLICK->

This is a 455 (Y-code) engine. The x-code was the 455HO version. The previous owner added the 455HO intake. Check out the "Super Duty 455" sticker on the fan shroud.CLICK-> 
Here is a close-up of that "Super Duty 455" sticker on the fan shroud. It instructs the owner to use SAE 30W or SAE 10W40 oils. It also gives special instructions when reassembling the connecting rod nuts.CLICK-> 
Like Pat said before, the previous owner added the Hurst Dual Gate shifter.CLICK-> 
Revere Silver 1972 455-HO GTO owned by Francois Raby from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This Goat also has a M-22 close-ratio manual transmission and a 3.55 Posi rear end. Francois tells us more, "I found the car in a basement where it sat since 1976. I bought it in August 2006 from the first owner. It has GM of Canada documentation. Options: Ram Air, power steering, power disc brakes, rear defogger, bucket seats, console, in-dash tach, Custom Sport steering wheel and mirrors, wheelwell mouldings, glove and trunk lamps, pedal dress-up, 14x7 Rally II wheels, and no air. There is only minor rust bottom of front fenders and two pin holes in trunk. There is surface rust on rear frame and a rust free cowl, floor, rockers, and quarters! It hasn't been started since 1976. It needs a total mechanical overhaul and paint. I'm getting rid of those stickers. I will do a frame-off in 2008."CLICK-> 
Revere Silver 1972 455-HO GTO hardtop, right rear view. Look at those huge mud flaps. Those are probably the reason the lower body is in such great shape.CLICK-> 
This is the original 455HO engine. It has correct date coded heads, carburetor, intake, water pump, starter, alternator, unitized distributor etc.CLICK-> 
The interior is black. Franscois says it is dusty and in need of a good cleaning.CLICK-> 
Quezal Gold 1972 GTO hardtop owned by Henry Janzen from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. Henry tells us more, "The first time I laid my eyes on this car I wanted it. I told my friend if he ever wanted to sell the car I would gladly take it off his hands. As fate would have it, he was in the market for a house. I immediately bought it. That was in May 1979. I drove it for a year. My friend, the previous owner, proceeded to do some bodywork on it and then painted it. That was in 1980. The way you see it is the way I put it into storage until August 2005. That's right, it sat like that for 25 years. I never drove it. Marriage and children can do that to a person. I started it a few times over the years. When I finally decided to take the car out of storage it started on the third try and I've been driving it ever since. The fuel was even 25 years old. I have not had any problems. What a car! Visible options include rally stripes, honeycomb wheels, and chrome exhaust tips extensions splitters. Not seen options include formula steering wheel, rear window defogger, AM radio and rear seat speaker."CLICK->
