First of all...
DAVE...totally AWESOME web site on the XP... I was glued to the
monitor. I think I read every word of it and I just can't explain
it... I was envious!!! Just one question though... Did you get overly
excited when he dumped the clutch, plastered your head to the back of
that seat, and made that engine PUUR!!!???? If you didn't, you're a
more controled man than I am!!!
As many of you know, I have been looking for a Marcos GT. I'm probably
the only one here that doesn't own one in this group! Well, I would
have one, had Hayes not sold the one I wanted before I could get
it....but that's a different thing... :)LOL Hayes...no hard
feelings...
I sent an email on Tuesday about the 64 to the dealer asking for the
chassis number, a synopsis of the history, etc... I have not gotten
any response. In fact Jeff, I got more info from you and Dave than
I've gotten out of the dealer....which makes me really wonder...
Therefore... I have some questions that I know will be answered... I
have that much confidence in this group!!!
Regarding the '64....
Is it worth the $19K???
Dave, you said a lot of things didn't add up??? Is it bastardized, or
because it was an early year model, is it factory modified to fit the
parts they had available back then???
If we can find out the chassis number, is there enough info available
to document the motorcar as to why and when the changes may have been
made or even if changes were made???
I have to say, when I first saw the pictures, I noticed a few things
different, but then again, I had been studying the 69-71 series. I
made inquiries specifically about the differences to the dealer...to
no avail! At least as of yet!!!
Guys, I think most of you know how much I want a Marcos GT. I missed
Tad's car... and this appears to be the only other RHD available right
now world wide. At least the earlier models...
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks,
