    Default GT350 Turbo Convertible to add to your DB

    I know some information on this one is already in the DB but here is additional information to add. It was sold yesterday for $4,800 and is headed to Lancaster SC. Odometer shows 53,xxx but based on seat wear and other wear, I would say 153,xxx.
    IT was a pretty low option: AC, tilt, TRXs with ancient tires, no intermittent wipers, radio delete, manual windows and locks, white top that appears original. Has been repainted extremely poorly once it looks like and needs paint ASAP. No horseshoe medallion or owner's plaque. Doesn't appear they were ever on the car.

    Oh man, I'd love to have a low option radio delete Anny. I wonder how many were actually ordered that way...

    This is the only 'radio credit option' G.T.350 that I know of. There are probably more but likely not very many.

    I'm familiar with this car. I actually have the original "wagon" wheels that were original to it. Did you notice the trunk lid had been replaced with the early 79 with no "lip" on it. My guess is rust as it was originally a NY car.

    It is a NY car originally. Yes, I noticed that trunk lid. For some reason, they clear coated it when the entire rest of the car was single stage. And doubly bad, they failed at that too because the clear is letting go. It fits terrible too on the passenger side quarter and rubs in the corner. And that is the same side as all the wonky stuff in the body work. I think basically it is a decent car but I didn't pull the trigger on it. No way it was 53,xxx miles on it. Not even close. I would value it at 3,800.

    I can't swear to the mileage but I do think the 53,000 could be accurate. I say that because of the overall originality of the car - minus paint. I know that the seats were swapped. Original seats were beautiful! Keep in mind that it was a regular driver for a god part of its like in NY.

    I am still going with non-original because Mick said it was for sale on ebay in 2010 with 58,000 original miles on it and now it's a shade under 53,000. I think more then the seats have been swapped. Who knows for sure though? The guy does have another one he is currently putting together so I am sure the best parts got swapped.

    Ahh, I wasn't aware of the mileage discrepancy from its EBay listing til now. Not sure about other swaps. It's a shame when nice original parts are swaped.
