I think it looks great and it seems to have all the correct GT/CS parts.
There are a few minor issues like:
- The driver's seat cover doesn't fit
- The stripe between the door and the side scoop shouldn't be there
- The driver's door striker is painted body color
- I'm not sure that's the correct color carpet
- The rear bumper needs some adjusting

Hey guys,

Can anyone comment on this car?

Thanks

(1) IMO it's not worth the asking price (since I own one I'd be happy if it were but realistically...)

(2) Re: "Last owner took the vehicle to Europe in 1993 with 55,000 miles on it, today it has just over 59,000 miles."
One might infer from the ad that this is a 59K original-mile car. Well that's what the odometer shows but is it 59000 or (1)59000 or (2?)59000? Usually if it is documented original miles they will *explicitly* state that in the ad as it's a very strong selling point into the overall wear/tear on the car. If the owner claims that it is original (but no doc) ask that a compression test be done on the engine and try to size up the owner on honesty...

If it were an original 59K, numbers matching, never-been-in-a-wreck car then it would be interesting... at the right price...

Well it looks like a nice, well maintained car. And there is a "make a offer" on the car, so if the seller seems honest and can give you some of the info on the history of the car then... "make an offer" :smile:

I have not verified the mileage. I will be in contact with the 2 previous owners as the car did come with some history.

The car proof goes back to 93 and shows 53,000 miles at that point.

I think I'll buy the plate frame

Thanks

Brett

Nice that you have some documentation to follow up on. Definitely get the plate frame. If I could find one for my car, I'd be all over it. It was sold by Cecil Whitebone Inc. in San Francisco. I have been watching eBay for a couple of years and so far nothing.

Steve,
we had a 67' A code convert from Cecil Whitebone (we purchased the car from a guy in SF, the car spent its whole life there, we sold it last year and it went to Belgium) I could never find a plate frame, but now that I know you need them, Ill keep my radar up!! (I even checked local shops ect)
