How Many GT-37s Are In Existance?
 
What would be a good guess to how many GT-37s are still around? Does PHS record how many they have documented? I can't imagine a whole lot of these cars still exist. :)

When I'm done counting, I'll let you know.

gloryrestoparts 07-30-2009 09:31 AM

there are a lot more 71s than 70s. at least that I've come across. of course it makes sense given the production numbers.

A 71 here

Aztec Gold, Gold reflective stripe.

Goatff here on the boards has one, think it's a 70.5

tripower 07-30-2009 04:34 PM

There are more left that you may think. There rare ones are the 70's and early stripe 71's. The sword stripe 71 seem to be the most common.

I have an early striped 71 (sept 70 build) 400 4bbl, and my uncle has a later 71 with a 350/3spd.

mike nixon 07-30-2009 10:55 PM

I talked to a guy fron Kokomo In who had one as did his son.

There's two more. I forget his name tho......................

I was just thinking normal wrecks, rusted out cars, blown engines, that got scrapped. I can't imagine that out of 5802 made in 1971 there would still be over 4000 in existance. Since they were just normal cars when new, I bet no one thought they would be worth anything down the road.

I have a Lucy blue early 71 and I knew of another Black with gold stripe late car in VA. I went and looked at a Lucy blue June built car a couple of weeks ago auto bench car that will never be a car again so you can scratch at least one from the list. Mark

I own an early-stripe '71 GT-37 in the rarest color: Rosewood, built December 1970.

Had a chance to buy a real rough '70 GT-37 a few years back. It was white w/green interior 350/3speed. It got parted out and crushed. I still have the PHS.

I think I missed that one. I bought mine a little over two years ago. rather rare to come across a 70.5 L78 car. only 268 were built

i have a 70 400 / 3 speed. vedero green / green cloth bench interior. it has been off the road since 1972 when the guy had an accident and it made him so angry he parked it. i bought it back in the late 70's. sold new here in tulsa.

A guy I went to school with(graduated in 89) had a 1971 GT-37, 350 3 speed, gold with black sword stripe. Was pretty rusty at that time, don't know what happened to it. There use to be a 1970 T-37 sitting next to house a few years back, that one disappeard. Also one of my older brothers friend has a 71 T-37 that is all original and no rust, red exterior, black interior, 250 six cylinder automatic.

UPC-WU2 07-31-2009 08:56 PM

As long as we're on the subject, I am working on a GT-37 registry on my GT-37 website, to document who has what, and how many are known. It will probably also include a registry for LeMans GTs from '72-'77.

RAIVJUMB 08-01-2009 08:15 AM

Well let us know and provide a link and I can give you at least 3 that are in my garage and a couple more from people around here. I have a really orig dark green on green 72 GT with endura bench 3spd as well as GT-37s. Mark
