As you can see from previous threads, this "immaculate and nearly flawless example" which "underwent rotisserie restoration in 85" has had the back end replaced. Check out this pic worth a thousand words :

The door tag is a reproduction. I asked the owner if he has the original door tag and buck tag and he does not have them. It seems that as these cars age, past changes do not appear in the ads for selling them. Examples on this one are the rear clip replacement, color change and pony interior added. This car is now being represented as an as built number matching car which it is not. Do these seem like just minor oversights to anyone? Now I feel that all of this also brings its GT status into question as well. The ads always mention that the rear lights turn on with the fog light switch but this is not really much of a test for GT status as it is only one of many.

Belmont: what is your arrow showing?? the rear end snubber plate?? are you saying it isn't correct?? its really hard to see in this pic.

Belmont_old · October 9, 2008 at 9:45 AM

Yup, that is what I am showing. I may be wrong (has happened many time before), but it looks to me like a snubber plate for a single exhaust car ?

RalphJr · October 9, 2008 at 12:34 PM

Belmont is 100% correct - it is a plate from a single exhaust car.

The HiPo and "true" A code GT dual exhaust plate should be a "smile" shape __/ at the top visible above the axle housing -- NOT a frown shape/--

The shape of this plate is covered in Tony's book and has been discussed here MANY times. Including many posted pictures of the correct plates.

We frequently discuss this "re-body" topic here and how the true history of modified and incorrect cars gets "forgotten" over time and ends up cheating people.

Only the guys actually doing the "re-body" think it is OK - because they stand to make more money! Just like this guy conveniently forgetting to say that the car had been cut in half!

I didn't realize that the snubber plate was determined by the type of exhaust (single or dual) I thought there was a plate for typical 6 cylinder and standard V8 (A & C code) and the one for our K codes was different because of the 9" rear end??

The design started with the K code, with the rear build up-section being unique to the K, which had dual exhaust as standard equipment. The section carried over to dual exhaust A code GT's also.
