For Sale eBay GT/CS

[cnassif]

Here's another one that just posted. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...rs_Trucks&hash=item3f08aa2128#ht_53462wt_1165

Apparently it was changed to Meadowlark Yellow from Lime Gold. Looks like he even added the door plate from Marti to update it. It's also got the GT/CS Registry Sticker so chances are someone on here owned it.

Two questions:
1. What are your thoughts about using the new door plate. Do you think it detracts from the vintage or adds value?
2. What do you think about the updated rims?

They tried to sell this car a couple weeks ago with the GT rims and correct steering wheel. I used to own this car 1993-1997. It came to me out of Illinois as it is, medowlark yellow. I was told it used to be lime gold. This was before Marti Reports. I prefer originality. Thats partly why I sold it then. It is/was a sweet car, one of the best little 302's you could find. Had 52k miles on it then. Apparently has been through several hands tho since I had it. I hate to see this guy dismantle it while he has it by switching out the wheels and steering wheel. (Talked to him 2 weeks ago, and I think this is why it is going through no reserve, after he got a Marti Report on it.) We will see if he gets the 25K he originally wanted for the car. ari guy.

My humble opinion only.

#1) Whoever changed the plate should be strung up from the nearest tall tree.

#2) Ditto, but maybe a smaller tree

I don't mind aftermarket rims but those are worth a hanging.

That said, it looks like a sweet car and someone went to a lot of trouble to install the factory air conditioning and everything else that isn't on the Marti report.

Don't hold back, tell me how you really feel. Agree with the rims. So many good choices that eluded him.

FYI I bought it with the tag ALREADY changed, and the original wheels. And told the guy I sold it to about the color change. Glad there are no tall trees where I live.....lol Sincerely, ari guy

What are your thoughts on the condition of the car? Is it worth a look and a test drive?

 

[ari guy]

When I had it I showed it at MCA shows in occasional driven class. Kept getting people saying to bump it to concours driven class. I also have a black/red J code GT/CS that I showed concours trailered. I looks a bit rougher under it since I had it, has aftermarket pipes on it. It spent 12 years in storage in Spain in its early life I remember. I has had a light bump on rt? front fender before restoring it. But no problem. My ex-wife drove the car and I trailered the other one, so didnt drive it as much. The biggest problem with the car is the color change..........

Agreed.
Color changes are one of my pet peeves!

How about posting some photos of the black/red J-code?!!!

Is this the correct AM/FM radio?

What is the purpose of the slider under the buttons?

 

[ari guy]

As best as I can recall, the slider did absolutely nothing in that car. It had aftermarket speakers on the package shelf in the back. My black/red GT/CS has am/fm and no slider, and I know it is correct............Ill try to post some of my current car in the near future.

I had an Acapulco Blue GT/CS years ago and it had a slider. As I recall it was a small storage area.

 

[ari guy]

Im having trouble posting, will try again. The flat bar under the pushbuttons on the radio is what Mosesatm is asking about. Yes the center console has a sliding door under the radio as well. Car came out with am radio in it, had aftermarket speakers on the package shelf, and none up front. I might have been for left/right balance of the speakers???...

I am going to show my ignorance here. Looking at the console, next to the slider door I see what looks like 4 warning lights. Can you folks out there enlighten me about those warning lights?

It is a fader. That detail shows that it is not a correct AM-FM.

Ralph

That is the Convenience Group. It's 4 lights that cover unbuckled seat belts, set parking brake, low fuel, and an open door.

Rare option.

I wonder if all the sensors were installed on this car or just the lights.

Ralph,
That option was called a Convenience Control Panel it encluded a park brake reminder, a seat belt reminder, low fuel reminder and a door agar light that flashed.
Our 67 GTA convertible has the option it was a lot of work to make it all operate correctly. There are 6 wiring harness, a relay, a special fuel sender and the bulb that flashes is obselete so I had to search for a NOS one. From what I understand about 1/10th of 1% of 67-68 mustangs built had this option. It was far more popular in Thunderbirds and Cougars. It is cool when it all works. Marty

It's a deep storage area. The light inside comes on when you slide up the door. Good place for cell phones. But don't leave the door up when u turn off the car. Mine has one.

Amy,
Actualy the light is controled by your door switch not by the console door so no worrys about leaving it up. Marty

 

[ari guy]

The convenience control panel lights didnt work when I owned the car. The guy before me restored the car. As I understood it he collected parts for a couple of years before he restored the car. I dont recall any additional sensors that had been hooked up to the door or the emergency brake, nor any wiring looms for such. He probably had the console and none of the wiring.

Those Torq Thrusts with the "band-aid" tire are some uuuuuuuugggly looking on that poor car! He should have left the GT wheels on it instead ...
