69 Dodge Dart GTS - Opinions

wow... pretty cool resto rod....
You say it's a real GTS but really nothing about the way it looks from the pictures screams GTS. I love that it's an A-body and maybe in some eyes its a waist of a real 68 gts (depending on what condition they started with) but I think its just missing a few details to correct that.
If I had the opportunity to own it I would since it is a true GTS put all the GTS (or maybe GSS) badges back on and do a custom hood using the factory bulge hood with 68 inserts that makes a GTS a GTS. Also add the front marker lights (because it just looks wrong without them) and a 4 point role cage for 5 point harness since the back seat is deleted to show you mean business. Sweet car, hope you get it. pics of what you are thinking of trading?

Here is my 71 GTX - I do love this car and it's a hard choice. I have years into this project, but it has been a money pit for sure and I am probably another year away from driving it. I am also being relocated for work to Florida, which means I won't be here to watch over the remaining build items.

Here is the before:

Here is where it is today:

I really appreciate the comments. I will have to talk to the owner and get proof of the GTS claims and see what parts he has left over from build. My biggest concern is the value of the Dart. Now that it has been modified it's pretty subjective and I just don't know enough about A bodies to know if I am getting taken.
