A later factory converted GTS is not a GTS, it's a fake wannabe car. Call me purist... flame suit on...

>>>True dat, but several early cars were sent back to the factory by their 
then-owners to be converted to GTS specification; this is likely one of 
those cars. So while it wasn't built as a GTS, since the factory converted it, 
would it be considered an 'actual' GTS?

I dunno.

They also converted at least one early car to full GT5-S 
specification--same question could be asked there.

I'd love to find the guy who owned it when it was a really nice car, and 
then let it deteriorate to this degree, and beat him (more) senseless!)
