My Stocker may not be the most valuable or well known class car, but in the rarity category it may be the number 1 qualifier. It was originally a 1971 Pontiac T-37, 2 door post, 455 HO car. There were only 11 of these built in the U.S. of which 4 were automatics and 7 stick shifts. Pontiac didn't publish how many of the 7 stick cars were 4-speeds and how many were 3-speeds. Mine was a 3-speed. I contacted an expert on T-37's and he said even though we will never know for sure he said he felt comfortable saying it could be a 1 of 3 and a possible 1 of 1. For sure it's a 1 of 7. I purchased the car from Bob Howe and it was owned at one time by Rock Running. I would like to talk to Mr. Running to get some history on it as I believe he originally built it. The 455 HO engine came with round port heads, an aluminum intake, and a very rare 828 cfm single booster Quadrajet carburetor. If I can get motivated, hopefully the car will be back on the track in 2014. And no, it won't be a stick car. LOL!
