A family member has a 66 GT Convertible that he took completely down to the ground and restored. Every nut and bolt was replaced and nothing was left undone, I remember how picky he was when he had to sub out the work he couldn't do. He showed the car for about a year after that, and then he got remarried and it became a daily driver for a few years before he retired it to the garage underneath a car cover. It has sat now for the last 5 or 6 years with just a rare occassional drive here and there. I remember him telling me how if he ever sold it he would never be able to recoup the expense he was out for the restoration.
I would like to make him a fair offer on the car, but I have no idea what they go for in it's condition. I would say it is a strong #3 currently, but has the potential of being a strong #2 with a little elbow grease. It was in #1 condition before it became a daliy driver(it could have been a trailer queen right after it was restored), and every show he entered, he walked away with at least 1st place in his class. What I don't know, is if these were national shows or what.
This is a REAL GT Convertible A-code car.
Here's the Stats:
Was repainted candyapple red(not original color) has red pony interior, Center console, rally pac, automatic, power steering, mildly tweaked original 289 with the cobra dress up package. rally rims.
The restoration is around 10 years old, give or take a year.
