First I see one at the wrecker and strip it of all the good stuff. Next I rescue one which, surprisingly, is in better shape than my red 122 if you can get past the ugliness of the poor fellow. Now a buddy phones me and tells me of another one that is coming available. Evidently it's been in storage for about 20 years and is about as ugly as mine. Strange part is the owner says it's pale green. I haven't seen it yet and won't get to until Thursday, at which time I'll write down some numbers to verify the pedigree. I'm not aware the 123GT ever came in a pale green colour. What say the experts?

    The experts say share the wealth and send one of those down our way :)

      Well...one of them might just be for sale. I certainly don't need 2 of the cursed things. Of course, I have yet to see the next one nor have I heard what the current owner will pay me to take it away...

    Standard colors were red, white, and dark green, and I think there were a few rare blue ones. I'd say light green (if original) is either a special order color, or it's not a real GT. ???

      There are most certainly navy blue models in existence. I've seen one with mine own eyes. In fact, the first one I ever saw was navy blue. I have yet to see a white one though. Was there not a pale blue one kicking around a few months back? A special order color would pique my interest, for sure...

        The non expert here in Port Angeles says send one of those spare ones this way! Just kidding here, unfortunately, but on my bucket list is owning a nice 123GT before I die. I better get to it soon, I guess.
