About:

My name is Sam, thank you for your time. Allow me to assist you in describing andsetting your expectations onthis 40 years old classicbecause it's important that this car matches your expectations.

To the point, this is not a high-endConcours restoration (nut/bolt), nor is it alow budget build, this is a full restoration (power train, interior, body&paint). Good money and time was spent on this vehicle, but please go through all photos, videos, and this listing. I welcome you to contact me to go over any details that I may have missed.

(MOST IMPORTANTLY)

IF YOU DON'T OR CAN'T PAY FOR IT PLEASE DON'T RUIN IT FOR OTHERS.

Look & Compare:

There are a handful of these out there, but original white GT are a rare gem especially in this color combination.

Title/Background:

Titled and plated in Arizona, this is an all 50 state legal vehicle, and the NEXT smog exempt vehicle. Has CARB compliant modifications. This car has been in California pretty much its whole entire life, and currently stored in a warehouse.

Overall Test Drive:

I give it a 9/10 Score. For the most part, this car starts up on the first turn of the ignition. Runs very smoothly with no unusual noises. There are no leaks, and all fluids are at recommended levels. On the road, I am able to go through the engine'spower bandpretty efficiently,especiallywhen driven aggressively, this car runs superbly.

The transmission shifts through all the gears smoothly.

The suspension I'm not too familiar with, but it feels stiff on the ride. This car telegraphs more than modern day vehicles.

Brakingstops very well,no issues found.

Personal Note:

Surprisingly this car gets the mistaken identity of the Camaro or Mustang muscle car in the same era because of the similar body lines.


Powertrain:
1. Stock Engine
2. Stock 5-Speed ManualTransmission
3. CARB Compliant Double WeberCarburetor(32/36-DGEV K8749)
4. CARB Compliant Headers by OBX
5. 2 year old catalytic converter
6. New Alternator
7. New Voltage Regulator
8. New Battery
9. Recent Carb Rebuild
10. Magna Flow Exhaust

Suspension/Wheel:

1. Konig Wheels Wrapped in Falkens
2. Slotted Front Rotors
3. Custom Adjustable Front Suspension by Turlock
4. Rear lowering Springs
5. Manual Steering

Interior:

Compared with others, the interior is a 10 out of 10, butobjectivelyI would grade the interior an 8.5/10 based on the pros and cons listed below. The upholstery I would give a 9.5/10 since there are no tears, wrinkles, scratches, or creases, it's in excellent shape. The springs in all of the seats feel firm, and seems to have a good amount of bounce to them. The trunk looks fine. The engine bay looks normal also. I have not seen any cancer, holes, and/or rust in these areas.

Pros:

1. Kenwood sound system in the glove compartment.
2. Hands Free Phone via Bluetooth
3. 4 Way Racing Mirrors
4. New Shifter
5. New Headliner, Dashtop, Door Cards, A&C pillars are rewrapped.

Cons:
1. Missing factory radio knobs, bezel around the shifter
2. Some of the bingo lights are on while driving (brake, electrostator, and oil) but vehicle drives normal, and fluids are all at recommended levels.
3. Dashtop needs to be secured to the factory dash

Exterior:

Overall score is an 9/10, also because of the pros and cons list. Original color is white, and it was repainted a 2 stage white, fitting. The body lines are very good, when opening and closing various doors, trunk, and hood, everything seems to line of very well. I went through the whole exterior, and was not able to find a dent, maybe some chips in the front area. The paint is very good, but it could use more post work like wet sanding since there are some orange peels. It's worth noting, the wheels were spray painted leaving a run or two, powder coating would be advised. Also, the white lines on the rim are decals, not paint. Overall, there are no indications of any rust, cancer, or holes.

Pros:
1. Custom 2 stage white
2. Restomod halogen headlights
3. Shaved Mirrors
4. Chin & Rear Spoilers
5. Custom sheet metal work under rear bumper

Cons:
1. (I believe, but not sure) Missing a trim on the bottom of each side of door
2. No Side Mirrors (Intentional or not, not sure either)
3. There are no brackets securing the front signal light.

Factory Parts that come included:

1. Headers and pipe
2. Factory Taillights
3. New Visor
4. New Side Mirrors

Personal Note:

It's funny how driving this vintage gives mesense of nostagia even though I've never driven one of these before. Kind of like driving aMustang or Camaro in that era,I feel the relic in this machine. Probably why thebody lines, and design follow the era of the time. Either way, the new owner is going to love it!
