Ready to Buy a GT - higher mileage – 05-06

[BtwoG]

Canadian cars do have some minor differences for those interested. Different bumpers and gauges come to mind, but I'm sure a search will provide the other details. Back when I was looking 5 years ago, they were abut 5% less expensive than the US cars.

MichaelR, that's a great tip to expand the search to Canada. Thanks for that. Given that I'm from Toronto originally (been in the US the last 30 years), sad that i didn't even think of that. One of the cars is right up the street from my old house. Any Canadians know the differences from the American version? Any idea of the border fee is to bring in a Canadian car? Thanks guys.

Very nice man, I'm not to far from Toronto and about 10 minutes away from Multimatic
Autotrader.ca has 2 of them listed, no stripe is private, and one is at a well known Ford Dealer. The wrapper car if you want to call it is also well known Legendary Motor Car, always has something crazy in his show room.

As far as Canadian Gts go I believe the rear bumper is different and I think the gauges are still in MPH and Miles but don't quote me on that. Good thing is you save on conversions bringing it down to you. I don't think its to hard to bring it across if you go with one of them that was already titled in the US. Canadian car might be a little more paperwork but not impossible

I bought a Ferrari 512BBi boxer years ago which was located in Toronto. It had preciously been registered in the U.S. i had no issues registering here. If you can find the MSO or previous title,there should not be a lot of paperwork. I don’t recall paying any fee to have it brought across the border.

If you're going to spend 300k on a 15 yo car. you can afford to fix the issues.
As almost everyone on this site would agree, it's about the passion.
Best of luck with your search!

The 1971 Stage One was ordered by a US serviceman, and delivered to Germany. Ugly brown interior with bench seat and column auto. Lots of torque.
The 1966 was at Dallas International Motor Speedway north of Dallas. Ran a lot of ET Brackets as the car was major consistent around 15.0 1/4 mile time. Would dial in 15.1, and beat them at the lights.

Yes no Canad

Yes my apologies on that one the Canadian one is 3 options. Your absolutely correct Canadian ones didn't have that option

The other two listed here in Canada seem to be US cars, so I assume they would not be any trouble bring to the US

 

[MichaelR]

my apologies guys

The Canadian GT is 3 options, stereo/speaker wasnt an option for us Canadians. But the other two listed in Canada have it so I'm assuming they are US cars so registration shouldn't be to difficult

Are there links for listings for these cars? Would like to see em.

The cool thing for me with a Canadian car and the lack of radio is that it shows what the car interior looks like without the large subwoofer between the 2 seats. There is a little storage bin present for a couple of boxes of "smarties" (M and M knockoffs for the Canadians).

 

[extrap]

I will say, as a noob, after actually hearing the McIntosh stereo and sub ... it's fine ... but so far I don't think it's anything all that special ... and while I suppose it's good to have that as 1 of the 4 Options, as far as utility I'd rather have that prime real estate for storage.

Love silver!

I do think the interior looks nicer without it, but that's just my opinion. Not saying I hate the ones with it. I wouldn't let it get in the way of making a deal on your GT

You can relocate the subwoofer, there are several threads on how to do it.

[NMFGT]

I recall someone from the thread musing that the subwoofer could be relocated but he wasn't sure if the parts (storage bin substituted in its place) were still available and I have read that some guys love the sound of the stereo with the subwoofer and others think it is only ok. Everyone is different. I would probably not care that much and prefer just listening to the engine. My old car ('67 911S) doesn't have a radio and I don't miss a radio at all, the engine sound is so glorious. And to extraps point, I understand that storage is quite limited so some prime real estate storage seems advantageous.
