    For Sale 1968 GT/CS for sale on Facebook - 289, C4 - Fort Mohave, AZ

    What I was concerned about the cut outs on the taillights is no holes for screws for the backing plates (which are missing) there is one hole present in drivers side but it looks to be in wrong place. Bad pictures makes it difficult. Without a Marti a highly suspect car. Even with a Marti I...

    For Sale 1968 GT/CS for sale on Facebook - 289, C4 - Fort Mohave, AZ
