Hello all- Great site here. I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a '66 fastback K last month. I wasn't looking for one, but my dad ran across this car and called to tell me about it. I knew if I didn't buy it I would be kicking myself a few years down the road. The PO had it for 30 years and it has not been licensed since '92. Just sitting in a garage waiting for me I guess. <img src=images/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> Needs a carb rebuild and water pump (both leaking) but it fired right up and sounds great.
The PO thought is was a factory GT since he had owned it for so long and he didn't add the GT equipment. I'm pretty certain it is not. No GT fender badges, holes in radiator support do not appear to have been punched, and the tail lights do not come on with the fog lamps. Would like to hear some feedback to confirm my suspicions.
The kar seems pretty original. The alternator is wrong, but my dad has a pulley for me. '65 wheels and a few other things that I know of so far, but I'm pleased. Will be doing alot of reading and research on this great site. Already have the 4th edition book in hand and it's super too. Pics of my kar at the link below. Any comments (good or bad) welcome. Thanks! Dan
