    in process of pulling internet research for production numbers on 72 GS 350 convertibles by paint color (i have a cortez gold one of 33) but i ran across a site that claimed to list the accessories and number of cars that had each individual item.

    Down at the bottom, it said there was one convertible in 1972 that had the UB5 hood mounted tach.

    I have a copy of the build sheet and it lists the hood tach big as life. is it possible that this is the only convertible made with a hood tach?

    where can I go to confirm?

    this is kind of cool and I'd like confirmation. just cause it's on the internet does NOT mean it's true!!!!!!

    Thanks for input,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,

    According to the Sloan Daily Car Reports, (1) 1972 model 3467 was built in Flint with UPC code UB5 (sales code 48).

    One thing to note is that I have seen some inconsistencies with the numbers in these reports, for example the reports list (1) 1970 stage1 convertible 3-speed, yet there are supposedly two around (a green documented one and a blue one that I am unaware of the documentation).

    If my memory serves me, I think there is also some type of inconsistency with the GSXs and options (a count does not cross-reference).

    Giving the above disclaimer, enjoy the only documented 1972 convertible from the factory with a hood tach!

    Pictures to share?

    thanks for the confirmation. It's just fun us!

    I tried to add a photo & it didn't work. I will add pictures to my photo album.
