Quezal Gold/w red & black stripes as well as Quezal Gold & the black reflective stripes were fairly popular colors on GT-37's. The two different golds, Cardinal Red, Limekist & Tropical lime, along with the white/blue (as 71 1/2's), IMO, were very popular ordered colors.
Rosewood is IMO, the rarest ordered color all year. Nordic Silver was also quite rarely ordered. The Starlight Black/Gold sword stripe combination was ordered more than the often repeated rumblings from Mr Sawruk. Have to keep in mind, his casual observations were from a limited period of time, at one assembly plant. Thats where the "50" comment came from, versus the actuality of close to half of all GT-37's built that year were built as 71 1/2's.
Pontiac A-body's were built at 5 assembly plants for '71 w Pontiac & Fremont cranking a ton of them out. Through actively compiling the GT-37 Survey in the late 80's-mid 90's, along with actual GT-37's that have ran across since then, have info on over 800 '71 & 71 1/2 GT-37's.
