the dash and dials are definately GT spec.... i can 100% confirm that....
console and steering wheel look correct
missing a couple of bits and pieces, but the body looks okay...
its probably 126,000 miles as opposed to 426,000 miles...

$29k

Paint and panel, Interior retrim, engine freshen up etc etc.

A matching numbers deep aqua XB GT is on AMCS thats had all this done for advertised price of $52k!

Way too much money for non matching numbers in my opinion

I rekon its near the mark ...... not a bargain but a fair price to pay.

Comparing XA GT to an XB GT is almost like comparing an XB GT to an XC GXL ..... chalk and cheese in my opinion and is worth the extra cash! That will upset a few

it was advertised as a non original engine.

car was a very clean example ,I think it was worth its money.
I thought it was going for low 20's

most of these cars have non original engines in them now. just because the engine number matches doesnt meen its the original ........
