Nick Pieramico's FK5 4 speed GTX
|
Nick Pieramico of Rochester, NY owns this rare FK5 4-speed, bench
seat optioned GTX with white vinyl top and matching numbers 440-6bbl engine.
It is one of only 350 6bbl. 4-speed GTX's made in 1970. Other options
include power steering, AM/8 track radio with front 3 speaker dash, and hood
performance paint. Having the bench seat instead of the standard bucket
seats makes this car pretty unique. Of the 7141 GTX's made in 1970, only
478 GTX's were ordered with the optional split bench seat, and of those only
107 came with in burnt orange color. The car came with the standard power
bulge hood and manual brakes. In 1989, Nick purchased the car in Long
Island, NY as a rust bucket. Ten years later, restoration was started
and it turned out wonderfully. It is now a show car that gets proudly
driven about once a week.
