It has He got ALL the options that only a millionaire could afford on this grand car. Martin and Elliot Gantmacher popularized the button-down shirt as a de rigueur garment for Ivy League and Madison Avenue men. They were so taken with their success, in fact, that not long after their company was rebranded Gant in 1949, the brothers adopted the label as their surname. They made shirts and ties for the movie stars and rock stars. The brothers Gant transformed the button-down into a mass-market must. This is the only Fawn Beige (Paint Code 6) WITH A SUNROOF - a unique collectable. The only one known to exist of the 619 XR7-Gs in the WORLD.I am the third owner and have refreshed this original car to this Excellent #2 condition over the last 28 years. I have kept it running and showing in each of those years. It has been garage kept since repaint and interior replaced. I have many new and original Ford parts that transfer with the car to perfect it more. It also has the original blue air cleaner and snorkel. We have kept this car as Original and correct as possible. The original running C8WF 12127 distributor with correct dated numbers goes with the car. If this was a 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 or GT500 it would have to sell for between $120,000 and $250,000 in this condition.
