    Default I have a question about my GT350

    I bought a GT350 recently for my wife, after looking at photos of other GT350 the position of the emblem on the dash is different and also the car has SVO sail pillars on it. They claimed it was original paint and after looking it over it appears to have original paint on it. It's a Canadian model, were they different? The buck tag says ANN, is ther anything else I should be looking for?



    Thanks,
    Chris

    What a great gift! With the dash emblem, I believe those were put on at the dealership along with the plaque that had the original owners names, so you will find them in multiple locations (on the passenger dash bezel) depending on where the dealership or original owners felt they would look the best.

    The sail panels are SVO and shouldn't be on that car. It should have regular black finned sail panels like the GT's had. I think the SVO panels look awesome though, and if it was me, I would keep them. Are the ttop panels painted white? If so, those should be all black, but otherwise your car really looks clean and original.

    Great purchase, I would like to see more pictures if you have any.

    I got 2 sets of them with the car, rims and tires. Between the two sets I think there are 4 of them that are nearly new. I'm thinking we are going to change the rims and tires on it, just not sure to what yet.

    Great looking car. Just bought an 82 for my wife and she loves it.....can't wait to take the TTops out. I agree, these are starting to get harder to find. Nice pick up.

    Whoa, look at those tail pipes and meats! Now shouldn't that car say "Cobra" on the back? I want an 86 Canada car just because it's a Cobra, I think it's awesome that Ford used the name for their Canadian GT's, plus you rarely see any real ones.

    I'm not big into the drag look, but your car just looks mean and nasty. Very cool!
    Cheers!

    The spoiler appears like it doesn't fit right. Might be the photo

    I'm not sure this one started out as a real GT, but it has been repainted. It has 2 tags on the core support.

    Can you post pics of the door tag, buck tag, build sheet, window sticker, owner card, etc.? I see the car has air conditioner, cruise, defrost, interval wipers, power windows, a and tinted windshield. Does it have power locks, premium sound, or tilt? How many kilometers on the odometer?

    It does have power locks, tilt and premium sound. I will take pics of the door and buck tag today. I got a pile of stuff with it I'll go through it and look for the other items you asked about. It has 136,564 kilometers on the odometer as of today.

    Here are some photos, I'm going to have to remove the tag I think to get the info you need. It also has a power trunk release.

    That is a great car! Very clean, and I like that it has t-tops. Nice find. You don't see them that clean very often.

    Thanks for posting the tags and for the addtional options and mileage info. Let me know if/when you can get a better pic of the buck tag. Loosening the "L" bracket on the core support side and then removing the buck tag screw should allow you to remove the tag completely.

    I'd be interested in seeing the tags from the '86 GT as well. Start another thread in the Decoding forum, if you want, to keep this thread and forum on topic of G.T.350s.

    I started a thread about the Canadian "Cobra GT" buck tags here: http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthread.php?t=142728 Trying to figure out if GTC means GT Cobra, and if it's only on '86 tags.
