>>>If it's the car I'm thinking of, that's a 1980 GT/4, basically a GT5 
equipped with the fiberglass Gr4 flares instead of GT5.   It has a carbon fiber 
front hood and rear decklid, and 17-inch GT4/GT5 clone wheels?   That's 
Greg Sullivan, who was in the Alberquerque area, but has since dropped out of 
sight.   Perhaps he's moved to DC?   He's an aerospace consultant for the 
government (hence the plate).

If it was actually a red GT5 conversion of a '72, that's Rob Doone.   He's 
another guy who used to be active, came to the Fun Rally etc., but I haven't 
seen him in many years.

     the maryland 'burbs, on my supermoto conwerted suzuki dr650, i got a
     couple carlengths behind a beautiful red gr5-conwerted pre-l, (my
     guess), coming off the clara barton parkway onto macarthur blvd and
     thru potomac.  i passed it in "downtown" potomac - nothing like the
     maneuverability of a narrow motorcycle when a traffic light comes
     up.  :>)  later, i stopped for gas on rte 28; and after, when i
     headed west down 28, there at the light, on the rte 118 cross-street
     was the same beast, waiting for the light to change; i gave it a big
     thumbs up while going thru.  i did notice the license plate said
     "rokteer" (not sure what state; the plate was dark blue w/white
     lettering).
     anyway, nice ride, whoever you are!  :>)
