Well I can attest to the internet as a great source of cars and parts - i
bought my GT from such an ad 2 years ago and have bought and sold
numerous parts since -
after all, its only like the classifieds in the newspaper - just much
less parochial!!
The car sounds good, its Black Tulip which is rare and for my money one
of the nicest colours they ever came up with - just before somebodies
brain exploded and gave us "chartreuse" "tundra" and "russet brown" - the
interior will be crappy, Autumn leaf dont weather well!
Naturally it requires an inspection to be certain - but having one AZ car
myself (the 69)
its likely not to have too much of a rust problem which is the number one
priority and with all those rebuilt bits and pieces it sounds well kept
Price sounds about the same as folk are asking here in the north east, i
really dont know the AZ market but my guess would be 4000-4500 if its
that good but go see it and feel the seller out as to how much interest
he's seen before pitching an offer.- with luck he's either getting
divorced, having a baby or lost his job! (damn its tough out there!!)
Now - if anyone has, sees or hears of a 72-74 Black Tulip GT for sale let
me know -
I'll even pay a finders fee if i buy it!!
