I think I would rather the old car than a new performance ford, nothing these days can compare with what is sitting there.

Blackouts were only ever on the bonnet, never the roof or bootlid...

They couldn't have been originals,I can'tgremember off the top of my head,but there is quite a few things wrong with them,chrome 12 slots and xb mirrors for a start.

Not to mention ford wouldn't have any left as the movie was made in about 1982 _

Could be 132,000 miles, we'll never no. Is that MUD on the kick panel? The spare looks like it's had a dress rim on it.

I would say it is in fairly ********* good condition for something that has been sitting in a barn with a tarp over it since 1979.

Do thay same to a new GT and see waht it look's like in 25-30 years.
