Default Re: Pontiac T-37, and GT-37

Stefano, I seen that the other day on your site, nice car. I'm just saying MY 440 back in 1983 with me being 16 and setting the car up, ran like that. The GT-37 was never set to run, was just a driver that had some b@lls. Nice cars and there seems to be a bit of difference that what I knew about these cars.

base T37's are worth nuttin.. sorry.. Maybe one with a 400 or 455 is worth it but most of the t37's were low budget base econo cars. They used to be littering the street back in the 70's around here..

This is NOT true.

The T-37 was the replacement for the Tempest. Equipped with the GTO's engine, from the 400 to the 455 and the 455HO, they are VERY rare and, in Pontiac circles, quite desirable.

The GT-37 was Pontiac's response to the Road Runner, and it could be thought of as the successor to the stillborn ET from 1969. Engines started with a lo-po 350-2 and went up from there.

John,
12.60s is still fast for a mostly stock, normally aspirated, street driven car, even today, more so back in the day. I was just trying to clear up some misconceptions and the Monk King, Black Gold T-37 is the perfect example of that which is being discussed.

This car was ordered and purchased to be a race car from day one. The most basic Pontiac A-body available,(rubber floor mat/no carpet)(approx 300pds lighter than a GTO) with the most potent Pontiac Engine available,at the time, the 455 HO.

It has been told that some of the T-37 455HO cars, going to special customers received special attention and parts, like ported factory heads!

You originally didn't say "base" hence my comment. That's like sayin' "Belvedere I's are worth nuttin'" when no mention is made of 383 and Hemi cars, which is where the interest would lie with this site. The original poster wants to know about these cars, so why not give him the details rather than make a blanket statement?

The black on black T37 in Ontario is an Oshawa-built T with GT emblems. It was built with 3.55 gears although it may have steeper gears put in since then. It was sold new in Milton, ON and spent time in that area thru the 70s and early 80s. It is one of 12 T37 models built by Oshawa with the 455HO engine. Oshawa also built three Lemans Sports with the HO in 1971 and one Lucerne Blue car exists and is about 15 miles from the Black T.
