look through the pics here for some real numbers. http://www.aus-ford-uk.co.uk/html/stampings.html I don't care what he bought it as, but it's not a GT. The add states buyer needs to satisfy himself of authenticity so he is obviously doesn't know. Just calling a spade a spade. |

[QUOTE=Stefan]UMM no need to debate about the numbers, they are not factory the G is the give away and they are too straight and neat.
Stefan, i agree that it is way too straight and neat to be factory stamps--- i have never seen one that good or neat-( i think some old guy who didnt care had the job of stamping the VIN numbers)!-- but as for the G why is it the give away? |

No wonder they are worth the money they are... the first obvious one is the motorsport history...
Then you need 60 mintues, Ray Martin, Ford Forums, The Herald-Sun, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian and Jana Wendt to verify it for you or hope your Dad handed it down to you... Or just cut out the middle man and get one that has noted history. I know what I would be doing... No wonder they are worth so much money. The hassle to me just isn't worth it.

Maybe so...however didn't the Ford Pilot have a separate chassis?? if so ,the body shell acts as a brace against the chassis working together to achieve the desired strength in the "GT" the whole shell is the chassis,and therein lies the problem....

...and from the "available" pics I can't see to much warping/rippling of the bodywork, obviously the potential buyer would need to check this out themselves....my point is just because the car has been engulfed in flames does not mean it's a write off....

Lots of amateur metallurgists here using low grade pictures to apply their analytical skills......
There's still lots of scalded paint and grease on parts of the car so it can't of got too hot.. : Still.. its a mute point, if in fact its not a 54H shell...
