So at last I have found a 242GT! I just bought two 242GTs. One will be used as parts and the car thats below is the car that I hope to be able to restore. At the moment it suposedly runs. I have yet to verfy this, but I will be going to pick both of the cars up this weekend. I will post more pictures as I get them and hopefully after this weekend I can write more.
