If the right driveline was there id really consider a correct resto..but since its already gone, and it obvious the car is a 350 2bbl and dont know if its a 3 or 4 speed....i dont think it would hurt the value..i dunno..im a long way off from that right now..i just want to stay motivated and focused on getting it done...
of course..i would hide as much as i could if i use the 428 and camoflauge it a BUNCH..ya know chevy made a huge 2 bbl carb for 69 396 impalas and HO manifolds are cast iron and really, unless your a pontiac guy are hard to pick out a 3 speed shifter ball all by its self hides a 4 speed ... and ... and .. well...never mind.... |

Looks like a real clean car especially from a junk yard. Wish mine was that solid. My hood pin stainless trim had different screws that were a different head and longer on both of my 1971 GT-37's. I thought the sport mirror was only for a hardtop due to the vent windows contacting the mirror? Great picture of the lanyards. Can't wait to see your PHS or build sheet on this one.
 In 1970 was the GT-37 on the fender a decal? Mine are die cast metal emblems with I beileve 3 holes.

Subscribing!
Keep us posted on your progress/plans. Looking forward to seeing what this will look like when "finished" and I love the 428/4-speed idea. '70 is by far my favorite year for the Lemans (I am a bit biased though  ).Scott

That sport mirror on the door had me thinking too. That's not right to me. The interior panel has the remote mirror hardware. I'm thinking that the outside mirror got changed at some point. |

mirror is added..its way wrong, and its green and it lays out real bad its from a later style car that somone put on...the door panels are 71.
70 sedan panels are tuff to get, the good thing is they are a stitched pattern so i can have a set made and will look close.. somone was just begging for a tracing or outline in actual size or something of a GT37 decal to reproduce them he had them but the demensions where off a little..once he had it right he was going to offer them? with the static about the hood pins, could it be 70 and 71 are different? thats interesting....maybe mine are wrong but i feel they are original, look at the rust under the lanyard on the bumper..they have been there a long time..my car has never been painted either and the rubber isolaters where stuck..and i mean stuck to the car.. chevelle lanyards are wrong the ends are looped over...the closest lanyard ive found is off a 70 dart or duster, they are 17 in long and the ends are identicle to mine...maybe its a supplier thing..kinda interesting... |

The way I understood it, the 70 and 71 GT-37 hood pin setups are slightly different. What is the difference I don't exactly know. My hood plates also did have the rubber under the metal. I also wonder if it was a plant thing. One plant used screw type A, another plant used screw type B. Or a plant used whatever screws were available and some cars out there have two different screws securing the plates to the hood.

First post! hit the reply button before finishing.. Are you going to keep that color? If it is a GT-37 will you keep it original and try to find correct motor and trans?

welcom to the forum...i already knew the colors etc..i was posting the tag because i was asked too...
I dont know what i'm doing yet with the car...i really like silver..when i first posted pics everyone thought it was silver....but i dont dislike Baja Gold... It will probably get gold with black interior, ive been looking for the gold cloth insert and havent found it, or gold with a gold interior just all vinyl no cloth..just too far down the road to think or worry about it... I dont think i will look that hard for an original motor..if i stumble on one when im ready i will use it...but realisticlly i have 4 engines and have a choice from a 428 a 70 GP 400, a 71 GP 400 and a 75 firebird 400 4 speed thats fresh on a stand...since i have money invested in all of these already, i will more than likely use what i have..i have a few 4 speeds and a richmond 5 speed ive been staring at for 6 years...so i just havent made that decision yet..im more concerned about getting it apart, doing the frame and getting it back on the frame. MY DOWNFALL...on prior projects is changing my mind 30 times...aint gonna happen on this car...Im going for original to a point but I'm keeping my head down and working on it...not thinking about it, but working on it!!! Unfortunately, im going to be on the road for work for the next 10 days or so..so i cant do anything to it....Im driving to Louisville KY so all the way there, and back I will look for parts.... |

I figured you new the color, just wanted your thoughts on keeping original color or not. I just started my project too! You might have already found this link but I need cloth for my project and this is where I found it http://www.smsautofabrics.com/result...5B%5D=C&rpp=12 they also have vinyl.
Hope it turns out to be a GT-37, rare find. Good luck with your project!! |

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.
