    Finally got the "new" 65 GT home today

    Unbolted the carb in the seller's driveway, took it home and rebuilt it, reinstalled and drove it home.

    Very nice! Did I miss prior posts on this one? Is this the family deal where the younger nephew or such wanted it? I'm old and forgetful, sorry.

    Nice find!  Seems very complete.  Is it white or springtime yellow? It's hard to tell.

    '66 Fastback since July 27, 1981. Springtime Yellow, originally a 200 cu in, 4 speed. Also a '92 LX Coupe, 5.0, 5 speed.

    Looks good! Like RPM said, is this the one you were looking at that fell through before? Some details, is it all original, is that original miles? Does she have a sister?

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    That looks very nice!  Is it a Fastback or a Wayback.  (time machine)?  Very well perserved.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Oh, my... makes ME want to retire.  It also gets me thinking about looking seriously at a friend's 289 1966 red convertible.  What would be a starting consideration price ballpark.  Not restored (yet).

    I'm not envious of much.....except this.
