WOW. What a score. She’ll take some work but I can’t wait to see her come back to life.
No. Read your own signature ...I should have questioned Wyatt when he mentioned the GT H-pipe and exhaust tips, I blame my lack of sleep.
Stan?!?
I thought maybe you had a moment of weakness?No. Read your own signature ...
That is indeed an interesting car and the rust isn't bad either. It also has interesting options based on the body code plate:
M25: Wide sill moldings
M31: Belt moldings (so it looks like those side moldings were factory - probably the only GT in existence with those, but I am not sure I personally would keep them in favor of the stripes that I favor though)
R22: AM radio with 8 track tape player (that means it has the 3 speaker dash! Nice, as you could also slide in an AM/FM stereo unit if you wanted and it would fit right in and work correctly)
V01: Monotone paint
Y05: Built to U.S. specs
V1X: Black vinyl roof
A01: Light package
A52: Sport Fury GT package
C16: Console with woodgrain
C55: Bucket seats
L31: Hood mounted turn signal indicators
EB7: B7 Blue
H6B3: Blue bucket seat interior
A23: Custom sport trim group (?)
E85: Standard performance 440
E32: Torqueflite transmission
Amazing find. What else can anyone say, plus some valuable extra NOS parts! Never say never.
I thought this was kinda neat. Brand new valve covers.
I would say the worst rust is on the rear body panel. When the car was repainted it appears that maybe a replacement stripe wasn't available and they opted for a BSM. These look nothing like the trim studs on mopars I've seen. Ouch. I'm gonna check the trunk gutter and cowl today to be sure. But I'm pretty confident that's what happened.

She's from Illinois. Haven't figured out a name yet but I imagine...Blue.Great looking GT as is. Got a name for it yet, and has it spent it's entire life in WI?
Cash talks. But my initial plan was buy the unknown GT for the extra parts and part the car out. That little A52 code ruined my plan. Now I am leaning towards keeping it.Am I missing something here?
Did you buy it to flip it or are you keeping it?
She's from Illinois. Haven't figured out a name yet but I imagine...Blue.

Lady Blue?How's about Frau Blau?
