360 GLT Rest in peace

Post by MCHUDD »

Hi all.
Last week my beloved 360 GLT passed away.It is now parked up at a mates house as i have no space to store it.
However, just as i was sinking into the depths of despair,a 1983 360 GLS came up for sale in Belfast.Was this fate
or what? I rang the bloke,arranged a viewing and test drive and bought the car.She is in fantastic nick. The spare wheel
has never been on the car and has only done 45000 miles in 26 years.
Cheers Mark. :360:

That's a shame mark, your old GLT looked pretty nice - what happened to it? Good luck on the GLS!

Hi all.
I have kept all the rare parts that i bought of steve.My mate might try and save the car but there is a lot of rust issues.
The engine started playing up and gradually got worse.The car will always live on in my memory and it made it into the VOC
magazine{glenshane pass}.I bought it 4 years ago for 50 quid so i didn't do to bad.

Hey Mark!, sad one that the GLT bit the dust!,........ why cant they build cars to last forever!.........oh thats right cos car companys wanna make £'s out of us!,......almost forgot there for a minute.

John Delorean had the right idea, building cars with stainless steel.......genius!, and giving jobs to Belfast workers..what a hero!

As my favorite forum member by miles....I'm glad youre still here......get some photo's of your new GLS ASAP....If u need any help taking pics / or getting them on here give us a shout (I stole a digital camera from work lol)

cheers
