LH on my '69 GTX, but the car has been kept original in every area, including factory Bendix disc brakes. Guy who owns the shop I use has worked on my last six GTXs, and knows the LH thread situation well.
Hagerty makes the point that "colors can significantly affect price and saleability." My own experience has indicated that their numbers tend to be based on the more desirable colors. I've discounted for less popular shades, both as a buyer and a seller.
Back to the story of GTX number five- It seems consistent with the auction theme that the car hasn't been driven since I sold it. To that crowd, it's just a trophy. The folks at the other end of the spectrum who low balled me were looking for drivers. For cars that don't push the buttons of...
