Re: One Wild Pontiac
Wishful thinking on the part of some disgruntled Chevy driver if you ask me.

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

Re: One Wild Pontiac
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.

Re: One Wild Pontiac
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
