Default First show for the T-37

I have cruised it on Saturday nights before, but this was the first actual show I have taken it to...good sized event at Damascus Motors (formerly Damascus Chevrolet) here in Maryland. I had barely gotten out of the car when someone came up and said they had had my exact car back in the day, down to the color. He wasn't aware of all of the mods and additions, though...mine is a one of one

Great day, some GTOs present along with a blue '71 LeMans Sport 'vert.

There is always somebody who had one - back in the day!

Pretty snazzy little Porsche sitting next to you there too!

Default Nice!

Like to see the LeMans/LeMans Sport/Luxury LeMans or the Tempest/T-37/GT/37 models.

Great to see that nice T out for a cruise Erik! Who would of guessed back in the day that the name T-37 would draw so much interest. People clone Lemans' to them now

Was it a filmed event for Damacus' owner Andy Cohen? I see he has a show on cable called Junkyard Empire.

Boss: It was a very nice 550 and curiously correct. No indication of being a kit as most are, but it is hard to imagine someone would drive a real one. Even had a correct factory serial tag. I am a Porsche guy too (I have an '87 928 S4) so it was great to have that car park randomly next to me.

Eric, was your car Roy's/Royal GTO's old car? He had one just like it & moved to Fla., not sure if he took the car with him. Either way, very cool fun looking car.

Nope, I bought mine from the original owner's granddaughter in Syracuse back in 1995.

Sorry man, I had never been despite it being in my hometown. Will give a heads up next year as soon as I learn the date. Would be great to have our twin T-37s together!

I have since learned there is a TV show filmed at this business, "Junkyard Empire" on Velocity. Anybody seen it?
