I know the dark green metalic paint sounds wierd, but it is so dark that it looks black and you can't really tell until you look up close. In my opinion the paint scheme looks great, and it's a high quality paint job. The engine will make you drool.......Very nice! Wheels and tires appear to be new and are in great shape. The car has L style front and rear bumpers and has a dual pod dash. Interior has newly recovered stock seats and is very clean. The mileage shown on the odometer is 26910.

The asking price is $59,900

Sorry about that!!!

I did not know they made GTs' in 1972. What is the VIN Number?

I didn't think they made them until '73 either, but another guy around here has a 72 GTS also so they must have made a few in 72. I took a picture of the VIN but it didn't turn out, I will aks the owner for it and post it as soon as I hear back.

Thanks,

Ian

US GTSs were made late in the 74 model year only and then only in very small quantities, less than 100. It was the end of the Ford era and they did not sell very well; most ended up selling in 1975. Some were retitled to 73 for California delivery. The GTS VIN is the best way to tell.

They were exaxtly the same as all the rest of the 74Ls except they weighed more. They added the riveted on fiberglas flares, the semigloss black hood and deck lid, and the GTS graphics on the side of the car. That is it! European GTSs, now that's a whole different story but once again, extremely rare in the US.

Based on the number of cars that claim to be GTSs, you'd think they made a thousand of them.

Maybe it's a euro GTS or maybe it's not a true GTS. I really do not know, it's not my car, I am just posting the information I was given. I wish I had written down the VIN or at least looked at it to see if it had a "GT" in it, but I didn't. If you are still curious, please email the seller at cdemattia1@comcast.net

Thanks

Ian
