In mid-March 1971, a second design change for the GT-37 switched the striping to a reflective sword-style stripe sometimes referred to as the 1971 ½ GT-37. 1971 also afforded the customer the opportunity to choose any of Pontiac's optional V8s such as 350, 400, or 455 cubic inch models, including the 455 High Output (HO) engine.

The "all hand-assembled" LS2 SD455 engine was rated at 290 at 4,000 rpm and 395 lb/ft at 3,600 rpm.
