In 1972, the GTO returned from a different model line to a US$353.88 choice bundle for the Le Mans and Le Mans Sport roadsters. On the base Le Mans line, the GTO bundle could be had with either the low-valued pillared roadster or hardtop car. Both models came standard with material and vinyl or all-vinyl seat seats and elastic floor mats on the pillared roadster and covering on the hardtop, making a lower-valued GTO. The Le Mans Sport, offered just as a hardtop roadster, accompanied Strato can seats upholstered in vinyl, alongside covering on floor and lower entryway boards, vinyl entryway draw straps, custom pedal trim and padded directing wheel, much like GTOs of earlier years. Other discretionary hardware was like 1971 and before models. Made arrangements for 1972 as a GTO choice was the ducktail back spoiler from the Pontiac Firebird, however after a couple of autos were manufactured with that choice, the mold used to create

The discretionary 455 had the same appraised power (despite the fact that at a crest of 3,600 rpm), however considerably more torque. The vast majority of the drop was inferable from the new evaluating framework (which now mirrored a motor in as-introduced condition with suppressors, embellishments, and standard admission). The motors were moderately minimal changed from 1971.
An extremely uncommon choice was the 455 HO motor, basically like that utilized as a part of the Trans Am. It was evaluated at 300 hp (220 kW) at 4,000 rpm and 415 lb·ft (563 N·m) at 3,200 rpm, likewise in the new SAE net figures. Regardless of its humble 8.4:1 pressure, it was as solid the same number of prior motors with higher gross force evaluations; yet like all other 1972-model motors, it could perform on low-octane consistent leaded, low-lead or unleaded fuels. Just 646 autos with this motor were
