Default Duntov Vert

Saw this at Bloomington Gold last week. It went through the Mecum Auction but I don't think it sold.

GSC3, where there any custom touches to the interior made by the Duntov package?

yes - the Duntov package included different seat covers, digital center gauges (and optional digital speedo and tach) and a lot more changes on the interior...

The suspension was the best mod on the car... The Duntov handled like a late model car... It had bilstein shocks and some other changes to the suspension... Don't know what coils and rear spring that they've used..

The frame was ok!... The guy that bought the wreck from me actually fixed up the car...

Have you seen the car after it was repaired? Do you miss it? A very unique and nice looking car.

I miss the looks (except the headlight setup) and the handling, but don't miss the lame performance... My '68 would go the Drag Strip up and down until the Duntov would get to the 1/4 mile
It's more a car for looks rather than for performance...

Here are 2 pics just before the body came back on... Don't have any newer pics... I know that the body came on and got painted. The only thing that was missing was the wheel.. The guy couldn't locate an identical wheel... The one on the car was severely damaged and couldn't be fixed...

No, sorry I did not get any. The engine compartment was not cleaned up or detailed so I did not feel it was worth the pic. I used to own an 81 that was converted to a vert so I was quite interested in this one.
