That is one of my favorite color combinations. Very classy. I have a question about the interior photos though. Image 8 shows a dash with a gray panel that looks like duct tape and some sort of add-on set of instruments to the right of the center console. Image 9 shows a dash with no such panel and no such instruments. What gives? Nice looking engine though.

Tom,

I do not know the gauge set-up of a GTE well but suspect the tape covers gauges not used during a rally. The pack to the right is a Halda or some other maker rally timing/mileage pack. I imagine photo eight was taken before the rally shown above while photo nine is normal trim. Just a guess though.....I wonder if he wants to sell the rally pack too? I ask because good ones are very pricey.

PS adding $5K or so for shipping and the car looks like a very attractive deal.

Stellar looking example. Good price. Need tranquilizers.

Rudy, you don't need them...it's probably gone by now.

I got worked up looking at this one as well.

That car is the exact color scheme of my GTE, inside and out. At least I recognize that I'm not well.
