Nice early 3500 GT for sale

Looks like one OEM air cleaner away from perfection!

 

Lovely car!
But those carburator filters....

 

Reportedly, it was originally white.

No toolkit; how hard are they to find?

 

Ahh.... hens teeth comes to mind.

How about the individual tools, if I had an empty original toolkit. Same difficulty?

 

There are hundreds of them in the flooded basements of old NY dock workers

 

Yes, same difficulty. There are reproduction tool bags being made. The quality of the reproductions are, so, so.
I am not aware of reproduction tools but I am sure they are out there.

I'm going to try to stop by and check out the car on Saturday. I think I've seen this one in their shop a year ago after an engine rebuild, not sure if it's the same one, but a very pretty car.

Any suggestions on what to look for? I can try to take pics for everyone. Any requests?

 

Very difficult, I'm afraid.

Please check for cracks at the roof pillars. Especially at the top corners of the windshield. Also, the glass is very important. Then, where the alum body mounts ( a difficult inspection, as one has to be a reptile to check w/o the car on a lift.).
Thanks, and please post any photos you can.

I'll see what I can do.

 

Sorry guys, didn't make it. Disappointing. They closed at noon and the guy I was traveling with couldn't leave early enough (2 1/2 hr drive).

Here's a link to more pics and info on their web site though:

#722 originally was in white paint with black leather. 1st owner was in Italy. Later the car was registered in Switzerland.

 

George Evans is a great guy. He posts here on F-Chat but mainly in the Lamborghini section. His restoration work is pretty amazing. He is just finishing up with Allan's '87 Countach 5000QV (ex-Mario Andretti).

I'm curious, isn't it better to go for the 5 speed?
