“In 1971, a Pontiac T-37 could be ordered with a 455 H.O. V8 engine, 4-speed M22 Muncie "rock crusher" and 4:33 rear gears.”

My Uncle sold at least one of the "Pontiac T-37 vehicles a 455 H.O. V8 engine, and 4:33 rear gears."

I am pretty sure that the car was a Turbo 400 car though. Same 4.33 Gears though.

I must have installed that front sway bar at least 5 times on that car.
The owner would remove the sway bar to get the front end to rise quicker.
He would leave it in the Pits at US-131 Dragway in Martin Michigan with his trailer.

Then during the week he would drop off the car at the dealership and I would re-install the sway bar for street driving again. Jim Luitkins either owned the car or had a similar GT-37 at the same time. He was a Pontiac Guy.
