JAMES CRACKNELL'S 1968 G.T. 390 FASTBACK
*SOLD*
|
British
Olympic rower James Cracknell stopped in one day with his wife on
THEIR honeymoon. He asked for an authentic 1968 G.T. fastback with a
big block 390, raven black exterior, and a red deluxe pony interior.
It took us several months to find a decent S-Code candidate, but we
did and here it is. In storage since 1988 (that's 14 years) it HAS
No rust, and all original sheet metal. All she needs is a rebuilt
engine, new suspension, new brakes, rebuilt transmission, new
interior, and about a hundred hours of sanding and buffing to get
the paint just right. We shipped her off to England a couple months
later, and shortly after that, it ended up featured in
Gentlemen's Quarterly (British Edition). |

Here is where we started. A great
body, with no collision damage, a tired engine and a worn out
interior. No problems here. |
