Awesome! Thanks for stepping up to the plate, and saving these cars!
On our way to pick up The V Code and S23

I have to ask. Is the S/23 going to be a donor car or are you going to restore both?

No it will not be a donor. If I don’t restore it I will sell it to someone who would. That’s why I bought it. I didn’t want to see it parted out.

Now I'm going to be having sleepless nights until I see the detail pics of the GT and S23.

My buddies truck sprang a leak so stuck in Missoula tonight. Oh well, time to sample some beer.

I believe I remember reading the ad for these cars, were there parts that went with them?

Isn't it interesting to see how white the center of the road wheel is and that it has white line tires.
Could it be yellow on this promo car , same color as the car ?

Curious, on my '70 the rim ring was not white, it was argent. My tires were narrow whitewalls.

Yes in both pics, it does sen to be the same shade as the car. I wonder if there is any early color pic of this car from back in 1970?

The test car used a quart of oil per tank, was this standard back in the day, or specific to that car???

Makes me wonder if the car's engine was built with a little looser tolerances so that when tested by magazines etc, it would have a bit more "pep".

You're probably right Gary, anything to get a favorable review and hopefully sales, thx for the comment.

It's likely it wasn't broken in correctly, or was still being broken in. Hence the less than expected 1/4 times.
Thanks for posting that article again. I am really glad that one will be restored. I have often wondered if I were buying a SFGT brand new in 1970, how would I have ordered it? When I look at this yellow V code GT, it is about as close to what I would have ordered as any other GT I have ever seen. Even without a/c since it wasn't available on the V code! Just love it. Glad Dan held out for the right buyer regardless of how long it took. It would have looked great when done sitting right next to my V code Cuda, which was optioned very much like that one. If I were 10 years younger, I would have pulled the trigger 10 years ago.
