Welcome, Mike..... Great looking GT.
I have 2 B's, a '76 that is usually a runner but needs some carb work (this
year for sure) and a '65 that is a long-term restoration project (another
thing I need to get back to this year).
I'm semi-retired - left IBM< after 38 years in mid-2017 and am now a
Realtor. Spent the past couple of years getting the business up and running
but really miss driving the '76B.
