April 1971 is picture date. Morning after I picked up car. It was a special order by me. Lived in Kodiak, AK at the time. About 125 miles on car. Attached picture is October 1971 in Freemont, CA across the freeway from where it was built. no tune up, junk in the trunk, later found out no HO cam just 4bbl cam still mph'd at 104. Really bad run as I had never raced at the track before. Just some of that stop light grand prix.

No cid call outs as factory made mistake. Here is another one from same era.

Yes, it is in my possession undergoing restoration.
455HO, 4 speed, posi, sport suspension, carpets, ralley guages w/clock, dual exhaust (only required option), vinyl interior and AM radio as we only had AFRTS available there.

I am on the road and had troubles logging on so sorry for the delay in the reply.

I think if you do a search under my user name or T-37 you can find more info/pictures.

Here is a photo I took of a GT-37 earlier this year at a cruise in central Alberta. I don't know much about it, but I seem to remember it as a 400/auto car. It seemed to be a very high quality restoration.

Nice car! .

Hey John, seeing you're an Alberta lad do you know if the Calgary "Jury" post cars were built on a T37/GT37 or what? .
I don't know a whole lot about them...they were '70 only right? .

I actually bought the post car because it was about $50 cheaper than ht and used that to buy the AM radio. I was going as cheap as possible but getting the most bang for the buck. Had no clue how unique it would be. Thrashed it, sold it then had opportunity about 10 yrs later bo buy back. I put the story here if you want to go read it.

If you do any searches there on the PY forum in the 70-72 GTO/Tempest/LeMans area there is plenty of good information there.
