Yeah, not factory built. But Glenn’s site shows a separate category for GT’s built / converted by dealers and privateers back in the day. The lowest tier of legit GT’s IMHO. Still very cool IMHO ... for instance, the patina under the f/r trunk lids of this car, the racing history & documents make me drool. And the 3.2’s no big deal to me ... very few GT’s have original engines by now and replacing the 3.2 with something more period correct would only enhance value.

Still way out of reach financially for me ...

I would bet the vast majority of real GT's are running real number matching motors
they certainly would be most valuable in that condition
and museum quality cars, have a tendency to go back to stock when their value crosses 100,000

I'd bet of the 16+ number... that the majority have correct motors
and its a ding, not to have the number matching motor
especially in vintage racing

that's why I run a 2liter twin plug -6 in mine... correct for vintage racing.

Thanks for the input, Brant. I would have thought those GT’s with race history would have lost their original case over the years ... maybe I’m wrong. I certainly agree wrt value.
