    I know a guy who has an ultra-rare GT-37 with the 400 4-speed combo. As some of you Poncho people know, it's a very enigmatic car. Alas, he is selling it. It needs work, if not a resto, but it's drivable. I have not seen the car but I have been corresponding with the owner for about 18 months. He wants it to go to a good home, hence this posting.

    This car deserves the utmost respect and its integrity must be maintained. I told him I will help him find a new owner. I am not making any "finder's fee" because I think that's lame. I just think that someone here would be a good person to take the car to the next level. I know I've chatted with some people here about this car, but at the time it wasn't for sale. If your interest is piqued, shoot me a PM and I will send your email to the gentleman. It's red, in KS or so, and is pretty much similar to the car that John Sawruk claims was the fastest Pontiac in 1970.

    I'd buy the car in a heartbeat, but I don't have the dough (yet it's affordable) or the know-how to fix it up. I think I'll need a /6 car to learn how to fix a car. Of course, the car I currently own is the wrong car to have for a bonehead like me. :spank:

    Diego,

    You need to convert to a Republican and get rich so you can buy all the cars you want. :laugh: Somehow I don't think that's going to happen, though.

    I don't need to belong to anyone's party - especially one whose members think I'm going to hell.:Brow:

    Some f us just think the Democrats are going to Hell :Do No:

    Is that the same as the T-37? I had a friend in high-school with one. Ugly green-on-green 400 bench seat 4-speed. I won't horrify you with what happened to this very solid car....

    I for one don't believe in hell anyway.:moonu:

    The T-37 was the replacement for the Tempest, for the most part.

    The GT-37 was a performance package that was Pontiac's competitor to the Road Runner. It was a brother to the stillborn "ET" from 1969, which evolved into the deluxe Judge.

    Thanks for the clarification. It must have been a GT with the 400! Poor car was ruined!

    If you're a liberal, my theory is you're already in Hell anyway! :Smarty:

    No, a 400 doesn't mean it's a GT-37. You could have gotten it in the T-37 or any A-body, for the most part.

    And let's keep the politics out of it, please, before I pop some Oxycotin pills. This is a thread about finding a good home for a car with potential.

    Huh?:Do No:

    I forgot to mention in the original post that it is a 1970 1/2 model. This is VERY rare! I bet they made less than 100 like this, but figures don't exist.

    So a GT-37's 400 cu in engine is a hi-perf version of the T-37's base 400 engine?

    If I didn't believe in Yokoowhoda I wouldn't worry about someone thinking I was going there. Are you worried about going to Yokoowhoda? Now if I was worried about people thinking I was going to some place that I think doesn't exist, I would start searching my heart to find out what is going on. Something has got to be bothering you about it or it would not matter.

    The T-37 could have any engine available up to the 400. The GT-37's engine started with the 350-2 and went up from there, to the 400-2, 400 automatic, and 400 stick. There is no difference between the 400 in the T-37 and the 400 in the GT-37. Both are extremely rare.

    Just for the record here,let me try to get this straight.

    A fellow Musclecar enthusiast,offers up a heads up on a potential future PS candidate.At the very least,it's a good lead on a cool rare Pontiac.

    As thanks, the said person, is hammered on what his religious and political beliefs might be.

    Wow,it all makes perfect sense now?:Do No:

    Thanks for the post Diego.I passed the info. along to someone who might be interested in the car.

    Your friend is quite mistaken.

    The T-37 was a mid-year complement of the Tempest, and it eventually replaced the Tempest for one full model year. There was NOT a T-37 in '72 - the base A-body became the Lemans and the new Grand Lemans topped the range.

    The T-37 was basically a mid-year "Spring Special" to promote Pontiac's A-body. It came with options that made it competitive with other cut-rate intermediates at the time. In fact, I believe they advertised the hardtop as being America's cheapest mid-sized hardtop. That's all it was. There was nothing Canadian about it at all.
