Dear Pav:

Much the same applies as with the 427SC and FIA: ie good manual, bolt together assembly, good support, etc. BUT it is a far more complex car with more systems (airconditioning, heater, etc.) There are more adjustments to be made in setting up the suspension. Paint is more expensive because there is both the inside and the outside to be done and there are more panels to be aligned, more edges to be finished. ...and if you have "square hands" like mine, it is tougher to get them into the small spaces inside the dash.

PS: The new "run" of stainless GT tubs are in and Bob Putnam has engineered an adjustable steering column and pedal assembly. The floor has reinforced and other tweeks to make the cars even better. All n' all steady improvements since I did ERAGT2038 in 1992
