In 1971, the Tempest nameplate was completely retired and Pontiac promoted the LeMans nameplate to full-series status to identify all of its intermediate models, which still included the GTO. At the bottom of the line was the Pontiac T-37, previously known as the Tempest.

Good info So far....

Another way to look at it... 1969 Pontiac Had the Custom S, Tempest, and Tempest H.O.

1970 Pontiac wanted to change the Custom S... And the Car basic's stayed the same But a simpler name was added T-37 was aproved with the Tempest as its main basic car.
The Tempest was standard with the average Options.
If you wanted to add all the GTO options to a Tempest YOU had to order a T-37 and order each option you wanted And was NOT advertised because they wanted people to buy More GTO's
Then GT-37 option 70 1/2 was added to the T-37 Tempest line... Still Very under advertised until 1971

Then the 71 T-37 was now the Tempest and the GT-37 was an Option for the T-37 and the LeMans GT-37...

If you all are Junk yarding, Look for this missing links. A 71 4 door Post sedan T-37 with a 455 D port engine auto. PDB, radio and no other options. Never seen. Also 71 LeMans 4 dr Hard top with 455 D GT-37 with strips and A/C lots of options. Last seen in Texas. Both as Rare as the 72 GTO stationwagon's only 3 of those where made. I like the 72 GTO Post coupe 455 HO's more but still hunting.

Good Question....

For 1970, Pontiac reshuffled its intermediate lineup a bit with the LeMans nameplated downgraded to the mid-line subseries previously known as the Tempest Custom and included two and four-door pillared sedans, while the previous top-shelf LeMans series was renamed the LeMans Sport in the same three body styles including a four-door hardtop sedan, two-door hardtop coupe and convertible. This year, bigger engines - which had previously reserved for GTOs - were made available on lesser Tempest/LeMans models including a 400 in³ V8 rated at 265 hp with a two-barrel carburetor or a 330 hp option with a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts.

In 1971, the Tempest nameplate was completely retired and Pontiac promoted the LeMans nameplate to full-series status to identify all of its intermediate models, which still included the GTO. At the bottom of the line was the Pontiac T-37, previously known as the Tempest.

For 1972, all Pontiac intermediates were now LeMans models as the GTO was downgraded from a subseries to an option package and the low-priced T-37 line was replaced by a stripped LeMans pillared coupe. The top-line intermediate was the Luxury LeMans, available in hardtop sedan and coupe models, featuring plusher interiors than regular LeMans models. The LeMans Sport was available as a two-door hardtop or convertible featuring Strato bucket seats and plush interior fittings from the Luxury LeMans.

I agree with Turkey, I owned a 1970 t-37, and I've never seen nor heard of a 1969 nor a 1972. So 1970 and 71 must have been the only years. However my knowledge is not absolute in this area.
