A friend of mine has a VERY nice car that I've mentioned in the past.
This weekend when I was at school, he brought his car out to work out some of the cobwebs. I snapped a few shots: Attached image(s) |

The decals were added to exactly match one of the GT's
The flares are factory, as is the oil cooler, gt shroud, bumpers and hoods, thermostat, etc: Attached thumbnail(s) |

they seem more interested in plastic flamingos than that amazing car passing them by. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Me too Dan.
Its an inspiration to me. Carl, If you read this thread I spoke with Dave from this board who is somewhat of a GT expert. Dave is keeping a registry of these cars and was wondering if you'd tell him the VIN #? |

metallic green/8310 I know VIN and engine number, but won't post it public it's not a factory M471 / GT, but an early conversion with original parts (likely one of the 400 sport kits) hardly any info on the history available Attached image(s) |

That looks like the same color as my six.
So how did the factory install flairs? Buttweld or lap? |
