Local paper said they will do some performance mods, etc. Thought I'd talk to them - maybe they can find some good mods and share the info (or product).

Crazy. IIRC Cage's GT was one of the first 50 built...

This confuses me, but that's not hard. :confused :confused A friend of mine here in San Diego bought Cage's GT about a year ago. Maybe Cage had two?

I heard he wanted a lightweight red west coast version.

BTW Cage has been known to collect cars, and to trade them often.

He is a very serious car collector... and obviously getting some great tax advise as well.

Yes, Bony, and would you like to donate your new "Whippled" GT to the FJP school for pathology training? We need some extra body parts to study.
