242 GT register

[Redwood Chair]

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

 

[RichGT]

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!

80 GT VIN: VC24245A1169281

Seats: http://www.pbase.com/chumley1/seats

Exhaust: http://www.pbase.com/chumley1/exhaust

Brakes: http://www.pbase.com/chumley1/brakes

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

Are you US or Canada?

 

[RichGT]

They did have a 190mm round option for GT. I have 1 NOS mount and bezel.

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

Are you US or Canada?

US

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]

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

 

[spruill242]

Had one. Original white '79 242GT.

Crushed it.

 

[RichGT]

you mean it was white when you bought it

Yours may be the cleanest in existence new paint and stripes? How much salt is in the air over there. Is that your car in the photos posted by Redwood Chair?

[RichGT]

Looks like there are about 30 GTs on Garaget.org
Will put a link on there. What other sites should I link from?

 

[RichGT]

Ok, Ive requested the official Australian register, will post it here when available. This will confirm Southern Hemisphere numbers. (350 left tops)
