PS-- There was a genuine seventies Grand-Am Pontiac built. (I.e. Pontiac engine) I am not sure of the chassis though.

No, the "body in white" build lasted through the 70s. I believe what you are thinking of is the last car built by Holman & Moody, the Torino built to run at Riverside. It was a 73, not a 72 model. That car is in a museum somewhere now. Saw it in an old issue of Stock Car Racing magazine.
