    Listing this for my Dad.

    Until someone proves us wrong and provides another example, this is currently the only documented remaining surviving example with this engine/trans combo, and all matching #'s throughout, from the correct manual trans coded Q-jet,distributor,block,#96 heads,correct original Muncie M20, back to the correct original 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear.
    Car was completed summer 2007, and was raced Sep 2007 at the Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race where it was photgraphed by Tom Shaw to be a feature car, as well as magazine cover car of the Jan/Feb 08 issue of Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine.

    This car is highly detailed, and as clean underneath, as it is on top.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    I forgot to mention the other options...

    PWR Disc Brakes
    Variable Ratio PWR steering
    Tinted glass
    AM Radio with rear seat speaker
    Vinyl interior
    Carpet

    I have talked on the phone with the original owner, and he told me that he and his wife were just married and wanted a new GTO, but he had too many tickets and couldn't afford the insurance on a GTO.
    He was looking through the dealership catalog and figured out that he could order the GTO driveline on a T-37, and the insurance company never questioned it.
    He told me he got a wolf in sheeps clothing that cost less than a GTO,and would outrun a GTO because it was much lighter, and the money that he saved allowed him to put Cragar SS mags on it days after buying it, and that is why it was delivered with the standard issue poverty caps.

    I had a guy contact me via email the other day, and he wanted me to try to "justify" the asking price, as this isn't a GTO.

    I told him, if you go buy a GTO,then you have just that, another GTO:boring:
    Buy this car, and your never going to be at a show with another one like it,probably not even at a national level.:Do No:

    I guess this car may be one of those Rare vs. desireable situations, although the rarity should make it desireable to a collector that wants something that nobody else has.:bglasses:

    That is the joy of selling a car that is not mainstream.
    It is difficult selling a car let alone something a little different.
    Every buyer thinks they know it all.
    Good luck

    Tom, I think the car is a steal. Only lack of funds keeps it out of my garage. I'd rather have it over a GTO any day.

    Sometimes people like to try and get leverage by testing the seller to make sure they know what they have. If the guy want's a GTO, he needs to buy a GTO.

    Or it is just another tire kicking fool
