Car was purchased in summer of 2005 for $200. Towed the car home from Apache Junction and began to tear it apart. Aquired bites and pieces from Brickboard and Turbobricks to make my project come alive. Passed AZ emissions the other day with flying colors, now i can put this awesome 242GT on the road where she belongs!
