My boss is trying to sell me a 79 gt. It has no tranny, but everything else on the car is in great shape. It has 1" lowering springs the interior is out of a 92gt as is most of the suspension. What's it worth so I know what to expect to pay since he hasn't said a price yet. Also this may sound stupid but, can i take body panels off of a 93 lx and put them on this cars frame? I don't care for the way the 79's look and i don't have the equipment to move everything to my car to make it a v8. Thanks in advance.

dont but it. if your going to convert it just buy a gawd daym 87+!

sounds like a great car, and not one that you should destroy...

sounds worth 2K if its in really good shape like you say.

There were no GT's until 1982. Is it a hatch or a notch? If it's a Pace Car, you should get it and leave it the way it is.

No such thing as a '79 GT.

Find out what it really is.

He told me it was a 5.0 car. It was my assumption that it was a gt

I haven't asked if it's a notch or a hatch because I don't really care about that.

I don't have the tools to convert or I'd just use my 93 LX
