looking at buying an 80' 242GT what to look for?? 200 79'

posted by  someone claiming to be crash on  Mon Nov 13 01:38 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have located an 80' 242GT are there any big concerns that i should keep my eyes open for when inspecting this car?

The current owner seems to be very hones and has told me up front about minor rust repairs in the bottoms of the doors and the spare tyre well has been replaced ( you show me a 200 with an original pair of rear wells!! I've never seen one!)

It was resprayed original one tone silver and the GT striping has been removed!

Do they have any "Must Checks" or are they pretty much the same as a 244/264?

it has a 2.3litre motor and 4spd with electric o/drive, a new clutch and factory 5 spoke wheels.

How much different are they on the road to a 242DL?

and what is average litres per 100km?

Thank you for any advice in advance!

Luke.
