Any pics, 63 GT's are very rare cars in Australia.
Only 100 were brought to Oz for Bathurst Homologation, very few remain.

That I didn't know. I will find some picks before I stripped it.
You might be able to help me tho find out what type of car it really is. I was told 63 gt
But some things on the car and what I read are a little conflicting / confusing.
I will hunt up them pictures tonight

63 GT will have a strip speedo that reads to 110 mph and a tachometer mounted on the steering columb also oil and amp gauges in the centre console.
64 GT will have an instrument pod with 3 clocks

Still a desirable car.
64 GT's are also very few on the ground.

all GTs are thin on the ground. great cars and the MK1 Tina is one of the nicest looking cars ever built IMO.

Hi FastGs just saw this post. I have the drivers door you need from a Genuine 64 GT.(4door)
I also have a full set of chome trim and many other spares and bits and pieces.
In the past I raced a 1963/4 Genuine 2 door GT in Group N Historic .I am not sure if these were the model that Hoodedaxeman was refering too but I found out that they were very very rare and had to have longer chrome trim to fit etc..
I still have a replica 1964 GT 2 door Group N race car (english version -no chrome trim) and heaps of spare parts so if you your anyone else needs something contact me.
