This special order 455 GTO is reported to be a largely original car that is well-documented and well-equipped. It was originally sold to Alan Dhooge of Long Grove, Iowa. The order was placed on February 18, 1972 through Warren L. Langwith, Inc. of Davenport, Iowa. The same dealership delivered the car to Mr. Dhooge on May 10th; Roger Lovejoy was the salesman of record according to the accompanying paperwork, and a 1955 Chevrolet two-door sedan was traded towards it. With the many options that were ordered on the car, it carried a final price of $4,538.06.

With many desirable features, this is a GTO deserving of serious consideration. It is one of only 310 built in 1972 with this body, engine and transmission combination. The factory Julep Green was a special paint order and is also documented, and makes the car all the more uncommon. Among the ordered equipment on the Pontiac is the 455-cid H.O. V-8 engine, four-speed, close-ratio transmission with Hurst shifter, Safe-T-Track differential, GTO option, Rally II wheels, Ram Air hood, heavy-duty radiator, Rally Gauge Cluster with tachometer, body color sport mirrors with driver’s side remote, AM radio, Custom Cushion steering wheel, wheel opening moldings, door edge guards, body side moldings, floor mats, dual horns, hood rear edge molding, unitized ignition, plus ride and handling springs and shocks.

The 455 H.O. GTO has approximately 78,000 miles that are believed to be original. This machine is backed by many original documents that includes the purchase order, factory window sticker, owner’s manual, Protect-O-Plate, build sheet copy and original temporary license plate that was issued to Mr. Dhooge by Langwith, Inc.
