[Tempest T-37]

Diego,

Here are some other posts that I dug up from some old threads that allude to the same document

The Pontiac Accessorizer effective February 24, 1970 lists:
Tempest Coupe (3327)
Tempest T-37 Hardtop Coupe (3337)
Tempest 4-Door Sedan (3369)

There is not a listing for the GT Sport Package (GT-37) in this later edition of the Accessorizer, thus adding further creedence to the May intro date.

There were no post (3327) T-37s built in 1970, no such animal, but the GT Sport Package was available on both 2-door body styles of the Tempest. As JLP states, a V-8 was a manditory option.

I've yet to physically examine one built that early & I've been writing down 70 VINs & body build numbers for many years. Both the potmetal Tempest plate (emblem) #479180 along with the black & white T-37 decal 481938 on the fender, is how the cars were badged. When the '70 1/2 GT-37's rolled out in May, they carried the GT-37 decal 483376 below the Tempest "emblem".

In August of '70, when the first '71 T-37's rolled off the lines, the potmetal Tempest fender ID was no longer used, replaced by the potmetal plate PONTIAC 483926. Also a new for '71 potmetal fender plates T-37 483946, & GT-37 483947 were mounted below the PONTIAC. The 483947 GT-37 emblem was deleted when the '71 1/2 GT-37's were built (03B-03C & later body builds)

For '72, the 233 series line was gone. The 2D27-2D37 LeMans line was now the base line. On the fenders the raised potmetal PONTIAC plate were no more. Instead, there was a more flush mount brushed finish LeMans plate 487743 that was used on the front fenders. I've parted quite a few '72 LeMans GT's including an early built (Sept) quezal gold 350-3spd car & all included this design of emblem, er plate. Mark, I bet if you were to pull the front fenders and look at the dates stamped up by the marker light flange, it will confirm the '72 post car is indeed a '72 LeMans post, & the fenders were swapped out or new emblem holes were drilled, def not a T-37. Fairly common for such happenings over the years, I bought a fairly solid '71 23337 partscar about 12 years ago that '72 endura fenders on it.

Of note, the lightest '72 LeMans were the 2 door post cars. Vinyl flooring & non hidden wipers were standard as was the lighter standard interior panels, similar type standard equipment as on a '70 Tempest, Tempest T-37, & '71 T-37. When one ordered a '72 Lemans hardtop for '72 it came standard with carpet & hidden wipers.
