I'm restoring a 1972 455 ho m-22 4 speed GTO. One of 310 made.I found the car in a basement where it sat for 30 years! Didn't run since 1976!!!! It needs a total mechanic overhaul. Revere silver, 3.55 posi., black interior with console, ps,pdb, ram air, unitized ignition , custom sport mirrors and steering wheel, am-fm, wheel moldings, rear defroster etc.With gm of canada documentation, Matching numbers engine ,heads,carburator etc. It is almost rust free.I need to know where i can find the correct and rare distributor cap and plug wires. The front grille is plain aluminium or black ? The old one is plain aluminium with a tired gto emblem. But i have seen many pictures of car with black grilles. Also what is the correct color paint codes for the rally 2 wheels And What are the correct spatter paint , mat for the trunk ? Where can i find the battery cables for a 1972 455 ho gto? My car didn't came with the side post battery. My car still has one of the original spring ring cables. I'm from Montreal Quebec. Thanks for the information

You certainly found a jewel! Ames Performance and Performance Years are your best sources for parts and accurate information regarding Pontiacs. Unlike Year-1, The Paddock, OPGI, Classic Industries,, etc., these two shops deal strictly with Pontiac, no Chevy stuff.

Feel free to e-mail me for specifics on engine and transmission restoration.

Best of luck!
