Agree with Keith. Have paperwork & copies of paperwork on over six hundred '71 GT-37's, & a bunch of T-37's & LeMans. As so many '71 Pontiac A-bodys were built out of Fremont & Pontiac plants, its easy spot certain delivery trends. One I noticed many years ago, was Fremont plant built Pontiac A-bodies for '71 were distributed to every state west of the Mississippi River. For some reason Iowa, & part of Missouri seemed to get quite a few from Pontiac plant (that being an exception). On Adam's T-37, its a very late build, & its a very basic build. As such, its very possible Fremont had the capacity to build a few more as non a/c 350 powerglide combo's & Pontiac plant didn't. Of all the assembly plants building Pontiac A-bodys, Fremont ran very late, that is a huge factor.. earlier in the production year, such an Indiana delivered Pontiac A-body 2 door hardtop would have invariably came out of the Pontiac plant.

With over 600 paperwork copies for a GT-37 how many do you think still exist today? On this board I bet there are less than 30 GT-37s and I personally have not seen even close to that number here with photos.

I owned Chris's 70.5 gt-37 for a couple years. I loved that car and the rarity of it, but I got really sick of people thinking I was trying to make it into a judge when they saw the stripe.

As you know steelies were only offered in a few colors. Black, CB, and LG I think......

The probably one of one T-37 CC/White two tone HO got the CB steelies and poverty caps..



Add the G70 Wide ovals too regardless as they look cool!

strangely, I don't get those same "compliments". although, I've been slowly putting it back to its tempest roots I guess.

You have done a great job Chris. I couldn't be happier with the awesome home it found
