Also have NOS in the box 70 to 72 quarter panel for GTO / Lemans. Left side I believe.
A load of 455 blocks and complete engines.

Looks to be a 1972 intake based on the hole for the thermostatic purge valve by the thermostat housing flange. The cast iron heat crossover also looks 1972 due to the fore-to-aft oriented choke pull-off.

Rare piece for someone restoring a 72 Formula or T/A.

Yes it is 1972.

What is the asking price?

I do not know the value of it. I see crazy prices on Ebay like 2500 to 3500. No crossover.
I will sell though. I have no use for it.
