Pontiac T-37, and GT-37

Not mine, just a vagrant cat. Poor homeless thing.

It will cost about the same to restore a Lemans as it will a GTO. GTOs and especially Ram Air cars are very saleable for a decent dollar. I don't think the same can be said for the various Lemans lines regardless of options.

T 37 is worth nothing and a GT 37 is worthy.. Not GTO worthy but worth saving..

OK, I don't know much about those cars, BUT I do know a guy who had one. It had BOTH emblems on it, T-37 and GT-37. He couldn't get ALL the same emblems, so had to sub. the others for the car. Never did find out the difference or what one was correct. The guy who owned it a while back is a friend. I do know it was a 1971 version T/GT-37. Car was/is BLACK on BLACK bench seat 4 speed car. Factory 455 HO with 4.11's. Car is GM Canada documented 1971 455 HO, M22, 4.11 12 bolt car. NICE CAR and different.

That HO must be in the Brantford area??

Been here for YEARS. The guy who has it now, bought it from the guy I know. I'm 41 now and he had it when I was 16.

I thought the only difference was the GT-37 had the GTO rear valance with cutouts for the exhaust.
T, and GT could be ordered with GTO powertrain options and even some options not available for the GTO. You gould get a coupe with the convertible frame. They came standard with rubber floors and bench seats since they were lighter.

Very rare car, I would like to see documentation on the 4.11 rear...3.55 was the numerically highest gear available and have never heard of a factory car built with any thing higher.

FWIW, in '70-'71, the GT-37 was an option to the base T-37. Kinda like "the poor man's GTO". I believe all GTO engine options were available for the GT-37.

Either way, it's still a very cool car and would love to park it next to my '72 HO WW5 car.

I will look into it. I recall that my first car, 1968 GTX rag CLONE and I want to run this guy as everyone was telling me how fast this car was, BUT never beside anyone! I had a 440 Hemi 4sp. with Dana and 4.10's and L60 X 15 rear tires. The GT-37 had skinny small tires and kept complaining when he'd take the car on the highway as it was revving, and those Pontiacs don't like the RRRR's. I still see this guy all the time and will ask just to make sure next time.
Yes it was and is a cool car, in great shape. John
