There is also a headlight bezel variation. Like a newer mold versus an older mold type deal.

Standard E-code size, so I guess 190mm

Tuff240 · 02-07-2016, 11:30 AM

Standard is 7". They make a 7.5" (190mm) version too.

The 78 chasis will be available if someone wants a rust free roof w/o sunroof... The passenger rear quarter panel might be in ok shape too.

The 80 GT VIN: VC24245A1181333

The 78 GT VIN: VC24245L1137648

I don't have one to measure on but it looks bigger than the US-spec 7"
Couldn't find a good head on pic of a US car

Tuff240 · 02-07-2016, 02:35 PM

I think that's the bigger ones too.

Thats right, mine are Euro spec 190mm (7.5"). Only US/Canada got the 7". You guys sure did have some interesting compliance regulations.

The 7.5" are certainmly getting very hard to find if you break one!

On a side note is there a way to still source the Euro square headlights?

Are you US or Canada?

If it is passenger (left side), are you interested in selling? Mine both cracked, got one from ClassicSwede...

My friend Dan is a member here and has a gt. I'll point him in the direction of this thread so you'll be able to add 1 more...

Kinda sad how many have been scrapped just by tb members. That's the way it goes though..

RichGT · 02-19-2016, 03:54 AM

Yeah. Must say I'm surprised how many disappearing. Can there be less than 50 left in America?

spruill242 · 02-19-2016, 09:13 AM

Had one. Original white '79 242GT.

Crushed it.

RichGT · 02-19-2016, 05:14 PM
