I tried to look through the message area that I’m typing in to see where I could hit an icon to possibly post some photos, but can’t seem to find it.

I actually have another one. That’s not like your grandma‘s couch when it leaves the wheels are up about 12” in the air.

I was talking to Shark; I think he was referring to the plastic over the car (wasn’t insulting your car with that comment) and my joke was also in reference to that: Italians being known for having plastic covers over the furniture. I know my Italian grandparents did that. Anyway, the joke missed, apparently. Both mine and Sharks.

… anyhow. Very nice collection you have!

The sad truth is that most GT's are not driven very much <500-1000 mi per year and, as such, maintenance records may seem sparse. Quite frankly there's not a lot of maintenance that can/should be done in GTs that are predominately not driven. In summary, if you're looking at a <2500 mi car, despite it being almost 20 years old (gulp!), you may not have a lot of service records.

What I advise new owners to do, however, is to get a good/fresh start with maintenance to get the car up to par. Once you've done this initial "baselining", the GT will require very little moving forward.
You’re not lying, I’m overdue to come see you guys and your new garage. Been so long it’s probably not new anymore
