Nice 1990 GT For Sale locally
An upscale used car dealership local to me had this on their lot yesterday. I stopped to take a look and it's a very nice GT. Not a garage queen but very clean inside and out. It's not on their site yet.

Here's what I know about it from the salesman Bill and my observations. 70's K miles on it. (I forgot to ask to look) No record of last TB/WP replacement, so they will be doing that. He didn't know if all the electronics worked nor the A/C. They just got it in so they are still going over it. Someone detailed the engine (not sure if FT did it or not) But, they had the Air Filter smashed down, not sitting correct in the Box and one of the plastic air intakes (DS) was put on backwards. I pointed these out to him. The seats look in excellent shape though re-dyed a slightly off color. Supposed to be corrected. No rips and the DS bolster looks perfect but could have been repaired. The dash and rear quarter panels are perfect. No shrinkage or cracks that I could find. Some nose chips. He said they will probably ask in the mid 20's for it when done.
I've never taken my 928 to Foreign Traffic but Bill said he has mechanics that know 928's very well. When he had his, they did his maintenance and I have seen 928's there a few times over the years being sold and in for service.
No affiliation, just thought I would let the tank know about it.

A little alarming about the air intake. Looks nice and clean though, sweet clock, too bad about the color.

Rick: the PO of my car took it to Foreign Traffic to repair a non functioning power seat and to do the TB/WP job (replacing the original!) as a condition of my purchase and drive back to Boston. The seat still works fine, and the TB/WP job looked good (except for the rebuilt/metal impeller pump they installed, which I have since replaced with a new Lasso).
Nice looking GT there.
