Hi, Dennis, nice to see the pics!

According to this, 15-inchers were available, no?



I suppose the only way to get it was with the Handling Package?

Diego, You are correct, only with the handling pkg., which I wish it had. I'm not sure if it was available on GT-37's??? Anyone no of one with the Y99?

I don't think you could even get a rear sway bar on a T-37? Or T-41?

748 LeMans received 15" wheels, don't know if the GTO was segregated from these though?

John, Thanks for posting that statistic...I'm not sure what was truly available from Pontiac, but I have never seen a GT-37 with the Y99 Handling Package, or any non-GTO with it either. I'm not saying there weren't any ever ordered and assembled (it would be neet to see a car and/or paper work on one), but it would be a revelation to me.

Default Driveshaft Correct?

I've seen driveshafts on olwer hp A-bodies from Oldsmobile, but I thought, especially in a 455 HO powered car, that it would have a solid continuous shaft from u-joint to u-joint???? It also has remnants of what looks to be a magenta stripe on it...

Think that's original? Check Dan's T-37 for comparison...
