Here's how I know at least 1 of the Y Code Luxury LeMans cars is no longer on this planet intact. This topic came up years ago on Performance Years sponsored Pontiac Forum, now known as PY forum. Way back in 2013 this topic came up on a chat, and one member known as Ram4King stated he had scrapped at least one of those cars for parts quite a few years ago, so way before 2013. Not only that, he posted the PHS Invoice of that very car, allowing us to view how this particular vehicle was set up new.
It was a nice ride with a lot of goodies; the kind that made it an excellent parts car. Check it out; it had for VIN 1G37Y2P154089. Then it follows here it was ordered with S1 color and trim code 731 which was actually Dark Saddle. The 1 would be black Cordova vinyl roof. The S is Silver or Revere Silver metallic. It gets better, check it out the body code is 37G which meant two door hardtop!
Below was the list of extra cost options. AM radio, console, rear visor mirror, power steering, power disc brakes, rear floor mats, front floor mats, luggage lamp, dual exhaust, 455 4 barrel L75, G78X14 WW fiberglass tires, Rally II wheels, 8 track tape player, sport mirrors, tilt steering, tinted glass, hood lamp, heavy duty battery. The total cost for this puppy was $3633.31. It was shipped to Miller Pontiac GMC in St Cloud, Minnesota on May 17th 1972 even though it was built in December. The GMAC finance code shows PPA so this car has some PR work involved which likely meant it was indoors and doing exhibition work for awhile before becoming a demonstrator. Cool ride, too bad its no longer around!
