I recently bought an 87 gt parts car, and in the passenger seat were these parts. Theres alot more where these came from, but this is the beginning. THese arent perfect, they don't look like they have been used since they were freshened up, which I believe is powder coating (how do I tell?) There IS some buildup inside these parts, so they have been used. Theres slight spiderwebbing underneath the thick thick paint or whatever it is, probably from the sun. You can't see it from more than a few feet away, and it sure is good looking.


I'm asking 100$ plus shipping. ORRR

EDIT: On a side note, I am looking for a few things.
Fastback glass/lexan Panels, both sides, mine are ruined =(
Corvette style panels/lights for a fastback OR
some nice looking fastback tail lights.
Shipping is from 37042, clarksille TN.

I think the best way to check is to put a set of gaskets up to the opening. If metal overlaps the gasket opening then they are stock. If the metal is flush with the gaskets then the openings have been widened to match the gasket openings and have therefore been ported.

Being able to test would depend on having an extra gasket set laying around though. Um... I guess something else to look for would be scratches/polishing swirls on the inside of the runners from a die grinder but those may have been "erased" if the parts were sandblasted before being painted/coated. Um... any way you could measure how wide one of the openings are with a caliper (or some other fairly accurate measuring device). I have a set of gaskets here that I could compare against.

Hmm... I'm interested in them anyway though as I suppose I could port them myself if they aren't already. My shiny-itis is getting the best of me...

Err.... Ok. Sending a PM.
