Wishful thinking on the part of some disgruntled Chevy driver if you ask me.

479185? Hard to read, but looks like 455 eblem less GTO?

Re: One Wild Pontiac
 

Steve:

The 479185 PN is correct. I have a NOS pair of these in the boxes. What's weird - and shows that catalogs can be incorrect - is that for 1971 it indicates that these die cast "455" emblems came on 230 (Tempest/LeMans) and 240 (GTO) body styles - WRONG! 1971 GTO 455 cars had the 455 engine callout incorporated in the vinyl GTO fender decals.

If anyone needs a full size and easier to read copy of that attachment I will gladly e-mail it to you!

Later,
"455HO" Lloyd

Steve:

I made the "mistake" of selling the other NOS pair I had about a year ago. They went to a VERY good "home" though!

I genuinely hate to hoard this stuff since I don't currently own a car they'd be used on, but I've since learned that items like these are trading material only.

Whatcha got that might be of interest for a trade? See my sig for my cars.

Hey Steve, do you know Roger - aka oPh - in Edmond?

Hi guys,

I know some of you from the PY and TAC boards.

I have a Lucerne Blue 72 455HO Lemans Sport convertible, factory 4-spd with no a/c. It's documented by PHS and is listed in the registry.

When I got the car, it was partially dismantled and had been wrecked on the left front. The guy I bought it from had begun to restore it.

I got one damaged fender that had the 455 emblem still on it. It was too badly damaged to be saved, so I tossed it.

At the time, I didn't realize the 455 emblems were supposed to be on the front fender for 72 455HO non-GTO A-bodies. I thought they belonged on the rocker panels.

Can somebody provide me with a template or measurements on where the 455 emblem should go?

Also, is this the same 455 emblem that was used on the big cars.

Thanks,

Mike
