'71 455 HO GT-37 Journey Begins
Finally got a chance to take a look at the GT-37 I bought from Mike Robbins last year during the coldest February on record, so its been hibernating since then. Put it up on the lift to give it a good visual survey and found it to be really solid. The only bad area in the trunk floor where the original owner kept an open bag of salt that spilled and did what it does best to automotive sheet metal. The floors, quarters, fenders, core support, doors are great shape. It does need the usual lower rear window metal repair.
The motor is the numbers matching original as are the no-date heads. I will need to find another 7041267 carb and RA exhaust manifolds. The intake and crossover are proper too. Dennis |

Many years back, I bought a 71 455HO out of a 71 GTO. It didn't have ram air, so it had the 7041267 carb. I might have sold it, but it could also be put up somewhere. The block had April 1971 dates. How closely does that match up with your car?

Here is the PHS of the car along with some recent outdoor pics to get some natural daylight on the patina.
You can see on the PHS that there are a lot of minor options under $15.00 (17 to be exact) of the 35 ordered. Oh how I wish that the A/C was an M-22 if I could change anything. Dennis |

So since the 621 Ride & Handling package was ordered, would those Honeycombs then be 15-inchers?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
