    I have started the process of restoring a 1975 GT4. My first question, does anyone know what color the exhaust grill under the rear bumper is supposed to be?

    I don’t know if there were differences in years, but on my 1979, it is a satin black. Depending on whether you are going for a concours-level restoration or not, “Black” should do. ;)

    I have a really nice condition passenger door if needed. it has been fully submerged in non destructive solution for rust removal. and only has around 10 pin holes at the bottom. The inside Jamb section has been epoxy primered and the inside of door skin has been painted black. FYI

    Thanks for confirming the color. I am just starting this process. The car hasn't been driven in 25 years and is with the mechanic now to get it started (I hope!). If so, I will undoubted have more questions!

    I'm sure there are many good shops there. If your car has original paint. Scan before stripping!! Unless you are changing color
