The show title says its a GTS. I didn't see any GTS badging. Should there be?
This is what I think.
We are not shown the vin tag.
It has the passenger side parked windshield wipers on it. Those are '74 only.
IF it was a US GTS, it would have a GT in the serial number.
If it was a Euro GTS it would not have right parked wipers. Only the '74 US cars have those.
The paint looks suspiciously glossy to me for original Acrylic Enamel paint. The gloss in that stuff died all by itself long ago. Soon after it was new in fact.
I think it is two stage. Base coat with clear over. It is difficult to tell on a video but to me the color looks off from Pantera Red #2, which is what it would be from the factory.
It could be a 73 and had it's wipers changed or it could be a 74 California car that Ford titled as a 73 for emissions reasons.
I never heard of a 73 GTS but never say never and if it is and was sold new in Cali it was sold as a '73.
Got all that? Sounds confusing I know.
It might be a real US GTS that the flares have been removed on and it probably has been repainted?
All this considered, why should I believe the super low mileage on it under these conditions.
Judges decision...ding, ding, ding...bah humbug. I don't believe it. I am not spending $150,000 for it anytime soon.
