    Default 1985 GT Build Sheet

    I purchased this 85 GT a couple of weeks ago and found the build sheet. The Build Sheet was stuck to the passenger's inside quarter panel behind the plastic panel. The sheet was stuck to the car with a piece of grey foam with a peel and stick backside. The sheet was in decent shape. Seemed like a pretty creative spot to put it and an interesting way to stick it to the car.

    Thanks for the Decode. I'll post the other tags soon.

    A Seattle car all its life.....I was surprised at how little rust there was as the car sat outside for a year or more.

    Car had 185,000 miles, original motor and trans and original paint.

    Glad I was able to save it.
