Anyone who is a fan of these cars knows how rare they are in general, finding a top-tier example is quite difficult. This GT6 is not only a top tier collector quality,it is substantially upgraded from standard. Much time, effort and money hasbeen spent creating this one-of-kind example. It could be considered a light resto-mod approach since most vehicle systems have been thoughtfully and tastefully upgraded. This GT6 accelerates, handles, and stops FAR better than astock version, it is a pure joy to drive. This project started with an original owner. Well cared for and rust/accident- free car. It was completely dismantled to the bare body and frame. Both were media blasted and refinished. The body needed NO repairs whatsoever prior to refinishing in original Mimosa Yellow. The result is a literally glass-smooth finish with zero flaws, peel, or haze. Itwas recently polished with the application of a ceramic coating. Very likely tobe the finest paint job on any GT6 anywhere. The interior is completely new with seats being upholstered in black glove leather on the original factory pattern. Dashboard wood, gauges, and padding is flawless. All switchgears work as they should. Additional volt and oil psi gauges added in place of the radio. TouristTrophy leather rimmed steering wheel finishes off this beautiful interior. The suspension was completely rebuilt and upgraded with poly bushings throughout. Spax adjustable shocks with all new springs completely transform vehicle handling. New Yokohama ADVAN Fleva 195/50R 15 Ultra High-Performance tires mounted on retro-style VTO alloy wheels 15” x 7”, 4 x 100mm, 38mm. are held on with upgraded hub system. Front brakes were upgraded to 4-piston calipers,performance pads, drilled rotors and braided stainless lines, Engine was completely rebuilt adding a performance camshaft and Affordable Fuel injection EFI system. New Optima AGM battery just installed. The engine runs smooth, strong,and clean, this car accelerates far quicker than stock with more top-end speed thanks to the addition of overdrive. This is a substantial upgrade since most GT’s were ordered without it. This is a rare upgrade. The gearbox was completely rebuilt with the addition of a new performance clutch. The driveshaft was replaced with a new/balanced unit. Rear differential was rebuilt aswell. A dual tailpipe stainless steel performance exhaust was installed. Cooling system is stock with addition of an adjustable thermostatically controlled electric cooling fan, all remaining hydraulic components were replaced. All glass is original for thecar. Wiring is unmolested and professionally routed, connected, etc. This is an exceptional high performanceand rare car. GT6 values are rapidly escalating as more collectors are discovering their rarity. This car could never be duplicated for the asking price. If you are looking for the ultimate GT6, this is the car, period? Must be seen, heard, and driven to fully appreciated.
