Vehicle Description
1970 Pontiac LeMans GT-37 2 Door Sedan Tribute During its 1970-71 production run, the T-37 was General Motors lowest price midsize hardtop-good for fleet duty and budget conscious drivers. The GT-37 was the performance variant of the T-37, equipped with a Muncie 3 speed floor shifter, the GTO's exhaust system, hood pins, rally wheels, and special badges and stripes. In 1970, you had your choice of three Pontiac V8 engines, the venerable Pontiac 350 with 255 horsepower, or a pair of 400s rated at 265 or 345 hp. The GT-37 was a bonafide sleeper GTO, giving Pontiac an affordable performance car. Onallcylinders.com For consignment, a 1970 Pontiac LeMans GT-37 2 door sedan tribute showing 575 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Just 7,221 real GT-37's were produced between '70 and '71 and this LeMans serves as a faithful tribute to that uncommon model. Exterior GM's A-body design is on full display here with the long hood, sloping rear, and short decklid, all bathed in two stage Granada Gold paint. In '70, the stripe was as depicted here, across the waist line, here in black bordered by red and white, following the curvature of the back windows and extending across the fender. Hood pins were part of the package but the Ram Air hood was purposely left off; no harm in including here as it looks great. There's a rear wing and the 15-inch Pontiac Rally II wheels are muted and made slightly sinister with gray paint, some of it flaking. GT-37 badging is convincing for sure and the 400 on the rocker panel appears in eye-catching red. We've got an added passenger side mirror here and both sport mirrors present nicely in coordinated black. Imperfections include a bend in a rim, chips, bubbling on the A-pillar and various other locations throughout the car, inclusions, orange peel, and filler evidence in places. Interior Open the doors to find nicely designed panels with diagonal stitched vinyl, chrome trim lines, and a carpeted lower with both doors presenting in very nice condition. Saddle vinyl also covers the split bench in front and full bench in back in flawless condition. A GT sport steering wheel fronts the instrument cluster with woodgrain overlay surrounding three main ports containing the gauges that includes a tachometer with the mid panel being treated with spun aluminum coverage, a design Pontiac would continue to use for performance cars going forward. There's no radio but there is an added triple gauge pod under the dash, not far from the Mr. Gasket shifter on the tunnel over gold twist carpet and black weather mats. The perforated headliner is in nice shape and the trunk is relatively clean. Drivetrain Driver quality conditions are found under the hood where a 400ci V8 resides. The '75-'76 unit has 4X heads and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor under the Edelbrock air cleaner. It's mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Power brakes and power steering is on board. Undercarriage It's driver quality here with plenty of patina, surface rust, and painted over rust holes on the passenger door bottom. Dual exhaust runs through FlowMaster mufflers and exits through twin splitters in back. Power disc brakes in front are matched with power drums in back and suspension includes coil springs front and rear with a 4 link in back. Drive-Ability This Poncho starts, idles and runs just fine and we lap the test loop to check functionality where the car proves to have decent power underfoot and a pleasing exhaust note. The heater blower and turn signals are not working but all other functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. The brochure read, If you're after the response of a GTO but you're willing to sacrifice some of the frills, remember this code: GT-37. This model reminds us of the T-Type |
