The Gt has 160,000 miles on the motor. I'm planning to paint the car the Gt silver.The hole exhaust is all rusted. I thinking doing a custom exhuast system. I want to get some virgos, lower the car a bit. Not too low

The interior is really good for it age one rip on the drivers seat, but thats it. The sun roof leaks:-(

Looks like a really good project car. Have fun with it. In 1980 the Virgos came stock on the GT. Prior to that was the 14" GT wheel.

I believe you I just couldn't see a sunroof in the pics. I don't know much about 240's but I just thought it was wierd that I don't have one on mine.

I got the on the road first time in five years. Runs really good with 159,000 miles. Brakes need to be replace sitting for 5 years. They are really sticky.
