If you follow this link, heres a close pic of what my car should look like it says its Granad Gold #58...i think it should have this interior too....because the my back seat is identicle in the material and pattern..so i assume it should have these door panels too...i was told the black door panels where 71..i havent researched it...

i tried to do a copy and pasted but it says the pics are copyrighted...ya what ever...read the text..it says the first 300 GT 37s had 69 350 HOs in them..kinda strange, because 70s are 70 1/2 cars....so 6 or 7 months into production...they started using 69350 HOs..? i dont know about all that but just a little bit of common sense tells me it doesnt work.., but..its close to what my car should look like..

marxjunk,
The top black and white pic is a factory photo. Don't really know why they have the lanyard going between the hood and header. Maybe that photo is originally of a Tempest and they air brushed in the GT-37 hood pins, lanyard, 400 emblems, etc. John Sawruck once did a presentation at one of the POCI conventions that I attended and he showed pictures of a gold '71 GT-37 in which one half of the car was a T-37 and the other half was a GT-37. They did all kinds of stuff to get photos out.

I've attached a pic of an original owner '70 GT-37 that I took at one our local shows. This car has the lanyards going thru the grill.

UPC-WU2,
You might want to add these two pics of this white '70 GT-37 to your wonderful website. I'm hoping to run into to the owner of this car again and get some better pictures.

I have that pic along with the large advertising/dealer picture of the red post coupe GT-37. both have the lanyards between the header and hood. This has made me wonder how the lanyards are routed. So seeing the pic you posted of yours, now I'm wondering, what is the correct routing.

Also notice the hood pins insert from the side, perpendicular to the car. Mine are like this too, but I have no idea if the core support has ever been changed. I suspect the drivers fender isn't original to my car, but I haven't taken anything apart yet cuz I fear it might not go back together. not to mention I'm having to much fun driving it to local cruises and racing it at the Pure Stock Drags. Here's a pic of mine, hope you guys don't mind. It's from the Pure Stock Drags last year. She's about a 50 footer ... for now.



Lastly, I'll help out any way I can on getting the 70 GT-37 decals reproduced. Been meaning to touch base with you Bill, on seeing what can be done on that front anyway. Just keep getting busy with other car projects.
