Hello,
I am Gerard and I have a 1966 MK2 with a 3.8 MOD. We used to live in England and I went to the factory in Coventry to pick up this car together with my father in April of 1966. It sat stagnant in Pittsburgh for almost 12 years in his garage, when I began a long journey to bring it back to life. This is of course a continual process and I am now working on the wood and installing new carpet from Skinner in the UK.

Driven hard
Oh I drive this as much as I can. I recall my father taking off the spat and putting on chains and we would be power sliding all the way up the mountain to get home. That LSD works great!
Here is a recent video of me going hard through the gears and coming onto the highway in a decent slide. I didn't want to go to fast on this stretch of highway but you can watch the tach and we are pushing her hard:
I am holding the camera so its a bit shaky..
Driven like its stolen!
