For Sale One of the First GT/CSs Built?

[Mosesatm]

If this is a true GT/CS (not sure) and if the auction is legit (not sure) this may be one of the first California Specials built. Its VIN is much earlier than Curtis' stage car.

That VIN fits in with a group of early cars.

 

[Mosesatm]

This looks like the same car.

[GT/CS S Code]

Dang Arlie! ... and it's in "your" colour too!
:wink:

 

[Mosesatm]

No room, even though the one on the right is gone!!

 

[GT/CS S Code]

What?

Time for a reno job to turn the existing one into a 4 car garage!
:grin:

The seller says "tan" interior, but it does look like the correct Nugget Gold to me. Although, I don't get the dark (black?) carpet. Not sure what is PC, but I'm putting Gold carpet in my Nugget Gold interior.
Anyone close enough to go see the car 'up close & personal'? Interestng-No Reserve price.

car was priced at 18K obo recently

 

[franklinair]

The Auto Shopper ad says $17,500. The E-bay ad says No Reserve. COULD be a good buy, if everything checked out OK.

It could be a good buy, provided that a pair of honest eyes look at it in person.
I see a couple of minor restoration mis-steps.

Do the exhaust pipes look like they were cut off about 3 - 5 inches from the mufflers? 3rd picture from the bottom.

It's a GT/CS.
Here is the Marti

You're right, there are no tail pipes!
Are those helper springs on the leafs?

 

[CougarCJ]

Good, one more for the registry.
Thanks for posting, Arlie.

Is that the dome light under the headliner?

 

[franklinair]

Oops!

Hi,

In one of the ceiling interior picture, there isn't a dome light. Why is that?

EDITING: Oops me too!! I didn't read page 2 of the thread....

I guess then it needs only cutting a small hole and fitting of the dome lamp hardware and housing.

Man

Great color, I hope one of you gets this one!

That is weird - it says the auction ended with no bids? Probably got an offer from someone local and did not want to pay the sales commission to EBAY.

I will send them an email.
