The carwas sporty while being insurance-friendly.In 1971 the GT-37 was a package on the Lemans hardtops. It came with some special features such as hood locking pins, Rally II wheels, dualexhaust with rear valence exit, body striping, heavy-duty three-speed manualtransmission with Hurst floor shifter, and special GT-37 emblems on the frontfenders and trunk lid. Theearly GT-37’s had the '69 Judge-style eyebrowstripes. About mid-year the stripe waschanged to the sword style stripe.Driving the rear wheels was a 250hp, 350-cu.in.
