Mmm these are beautiful cars, I wish they still made cars that look like this.

I had a 71 gt-37 with a 400 that could smoke my friends 68 chevelle!

I love Pontiacs and its great to se that GT-37, but let's face it -- most were 350 two barrels, so I don't know why "musclecar collectors" as they like to call themselves, are getting all worked up over these cars. Now, on the other hand, if one has a 400 or 455 HO in it....

I think Pontiac is going to make a comeback big-time :-)

The carefully crafted line about not having to be 30 years of age in order to afford it, probably had more to do with high insurance premiums than with the sticker price of its high performance family member, the GTO.  Insurers were starting to catch on to what muscle car mania could mean as far as speed and aggressive driving was concerned. Even though horse power was drastically cut for the 1971 models, an owner could save plenty on insurance if the VIN did not reveal the car was a hotrod.

I had a 1970 GT-37 350 3sp hurst with headers & cherry bombs. Unmistakable sound.

Yeah.. Buick had a few highlights after the early 70s.. The T-types, Grand Nationals, and the GNX's really were a big hit.. That turbo 3.8L probably the baddest V6 to ever be put into a car.

@Sarcasticscum True dat, I think the sickest Buick was that GS455 back in 1970.

@RcColanator There should be a group of enthusiastic people with the apropriate money to open a brand to make cars like these. Except they'd have to be extremely good quality like those were back then.

[RFKFANTS67]

now days, for the most cars all look the same the idividuality is gone 4ever! we traded in style for economy sad.

@Drknnja

Yeah, but to establish themselves as a sports car division, they're going to have to learn how to shave off those rear doors.

[Drknnja]

@Sarcasticscum - Traditionally Buick was the performance division, when pontiac was bought, they slowly became the geritol brand. Check out the trade mags, buick is coming out w/ some interesting new products and drivetrains.
