What is it worth? 1971 Gt-37
I was kicking around the idea of selling my 1971 GT-37. With the economy as it is, should I just hold onto it? I hardly drive it. Quezal gold. Pretty much everything is redone or reconditioned...only the rear end needs to be done yet(or replaced), High output (non-original) 350/350 auto on column. Engine:zero decked, #47 heads with enlarged valves, 1.65 ratio, XE268 cam, Edelbrock intake, quadrajet, headers, Pypes X-haust, Rodney Red radiator. Jackson Performance Trans with 2200 stall.
New paint: Completely stripped and PPG BC/CC. NO RUST! Underside clean, but not redone. What do you think I could get for it??? Or...talk some sense into me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Okay, why do you never drive it? It looks like a car anyone would be proud to drive. To sink the money to bring it to that level must have been a labor of love.
It looks to be a solid body GT-37 with all the factory goodies. If the interior is clean thats a bonus. Any before pix? I know even a clean car with a professional paint with some minor body prep has to be 10-20K on a good day. Engine rebuild and other stuff is on top of that. Plus the new parts added from the repoppers is usually around 5-10K. So, If you have put close to 30K and want to sell you would be losing shirt. 10-12K and the right buyer is my guess as it loses value with even a 350 HO as a NOM with auto on tree. Do you have OEM engine/trans?

few more pics.
I'm just trying to get a few opinions about what it is worth/what it could sell for. Maybe buy different project? I wouldn't let it go for low $teens...I'd lose my shirt! I'll post a few more pics.

20 would buy a decent GTO right now...ive looked at 11 70-71 GTOs recently and 19-22,000 will buy a really nice car...not rare but nice...i think your car is low to mid teens..hence...keep it for now, wait til the market gets better and then sell..OR trade it for a project and get some cash...many people half way thru a resto are dumping cars for pennies on the dollar investment..ive seen many..they are tired of working on them and want a done car...

Killer car, but I only got $12,100 for my 90k mile all numbers matching 1 repaint 71 GTO 2 years ago and there are several more available around here for less now. We have a bad habit around here of saying something is worth $$$$$ but not taking the money out of our wallets for it. What something is worth & what you will buy it for are vastly different numbers!
That would make a great FAST car with a 71 455HO motor in it.

Thought about that too (sticking in a 455) since it isn't the original engine anyway. Pontiac parts are scarce around these parts. Also, will take me a couple years or more to save funds to do so. We had a car dealer about an hour away from Bismarck in a small town, advertise a two owner, red 1971 GTO 455 car in the paper a month ago. Asking $8900. I was like, Do'h!!!!! Catholic school custodians don't have much extra coin to throw around!
I should just be happy with what I got (since it's paid for). Work out the tuning issues (timing, advance, idle, rear redo). And drive the thing....Oops! winter is here...Put in storage for the next 6 months. |

Thought I'd post this...it's been for sale all summer long on our local internet site for our area. I think it is on the ND, Canada border on the east side of the state.

That one will never sell at that price. Yours is far nicer and more desirable.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
