so here comes the story about myself and the GT6 (and an anser to the question: how the f**k does a boy af 15 get a GT6 )

it's a GT6 mk1 KC467LO  engine nr. KC443,  it has an (original) overdrive it's white and has a red trim it has 73.000 original miles and has been sold in 1967 in california . i live in Nes  (Holland) 

my dad was a farmer and last year he got a new yob so we have sold all are farmig stuff and now live on a farm with lots of room (i think i could restore 20 gt6's at the same time and still have space left, for about 20 gt6's :-)))))) <<<20 GT6's ! ....sigh, dribble .... Neville>>> ) and I always loved cars, I was bored in weekends,  couse my nearest frend lives about 10 miles away so you not cycle to him just for fun (every week) so my dad came with the idee himself(gread dad don't you think)of having a car for me to work on in the weekends, and when we sow  a GT6 in a magazine whe where both in love (i'sn't it a romantic story!)with the GT6 mk1 so my dad phone's around and find's one by accident. so  me and my dad  whent to the shet where she was. and saw that it had no (major) rust so whe bougt the car an now I'm restoring it, when we got it home i lookt everything up. and discoverd that it was KC467LO

and it had an original overdrive an the original engine and a red trim. so that was not a bad buy don't you think????

i'm restoring it, i'm trying to make it as origonal as possible. i have got a red interior (mattador red) do you know if there are  much mk 1's with a red trim? i have never seen annother one ..  

i'f also got a site about gt6  it's about mk1's and my own one,and i'm working on mk2 en 3pages on my site.  http://drive.to/gt6 it's dutch so you can't read it but it got some great pics. i'm working on a english version but I don't have much time so......i'm 15 so i spend a lot of time on school, and don't even have much time for my gt6.

my english not perfect so i hope you can read it all.   well that was the story of me and my GT6 ( i'm getting used to typ in english :-) )
