back in the mid 80's i was spending a lot of time in topeka ks and met a guy with a 71 gt37 455HO and a rear spoiler. it was a black car. tried everything i could to get him to part with it but no luck.

Original owner was a huge NASCAR Richard Petty supporter. Loved a light blue winged car….


Hence the Blue winged GT-37 because he worked for GM in Saginaw.

This is what I like the most. Drives and handles like a 12,000 mile car. With power to wake things up! Cruising with the wife around town.

That's a real beauty, Mike. Looks fantastic with the Rally IIs and Wide Ovals.

You still have that Canyon Copper HO? I remember admiring it closely at the Co-Vention in Dayton.

I think sine it’s bench seat or bust. They just do the two number? That’s how it is on PHS invoice too.

But, the trim tag shows 232. For bench ivory.

Brought the GT-37 to MCACN. What a great show to show car for the first time. Great response to a crusty survivor. Great Pontiacs all around!
