Always like how thorough Paul at Auto Kennel is with the history of the cars they sell. This appears to be a very nice example that IMHO is reasonably priced. Just need to replace the non-original carpeting and address minor vinyl repairs to drivers seat, an easy fix. Would also need to go back to chrome bumpers and put the vinyl sails on.

Would also need to replace the front valence to one without a cutout for an oil cooler since there isn’t one.

the distinction with the steel flares is that they are apparently factory original ones that used to be available vs the repro's now available from AA or RD. Not saying the repro's are inferior, just that they are not factory originals.

Tires just too big?

Not trying to pick on the car or seller, just looks “off”.

Think the ride height is set pretty high, which is why it looks a little "off", stance-wise. Its probably about 2" too high at the front, 1-1.5" at the rear compared to "most" GT setups. Super easy to fix with an afternoons work and maybe a rear shim or two.

Otherwise looks pretty damn desirable!
