Oh wow, that black/silver GT-37 is HOT!

Almost makes me forget they had gold stripes available too.....

The POCI magazine had a great article on these cars and clarified a lot of info issues that have snowballed in the past.

Don't have pics of the black/black car but I have Steve's old White/White car, restored by Wankerboy (Todd Kozak). Originally built as a 350/3spd manual car it now has a correct 455HO/TH400 and to date has run a best of 13:28 with 3:08 gears. Hoping for 12's this year with the 3:73.

This car was owned in the 80's by Rick Wright of Purely PMD fame in NM and was due to be their next project after the Ram Air V Judge - sadly John Hutchinson's son died and the business did shortly after that as well. Gary Daniel of OK bought it from Rick, Steve bought it from Gary, Todd bought it & restored it and now I have it. First pic is Rick's title, second in Steve's driveway, third in Todd's shop and last one is in my driveway.

I had a blue over black 350 4spd car 5 years ago as well - should have kept it.

One of the great things about these cars is you are unlikely to ever have two in the same place at the same time - even at the nationals in Norwalk Ohio I am often the only one.

Well just to update.

The BLACK T-37 Canadian car will be coming out this year. Just spoke with the current owner and he's getting some things looked at Monday. Will see this car fir the first time again since about 1985 or that range.

Will try and get some pictures too. STILL has the GT-37 emblems on the fenders, but T-37 on trunklid.

Well went and looked at the BLACK on BLACK Canadian T-37 455 HO car. We did notice that it has a CHEVY 12 bolt rear? Not sure if this is the norm or if it was changed out some time ago.
