For sure, but its a normal Surferoo and not GT speced etc as they were only released in GS spec. The interior and even the striping has been upgraded to GT. One pic shows it with the normal GS striping.
XW GT engines were only 351W and then 351C. The engine ID shows it as a 302 2 barrell carby windsor, which it is although it does appear to now have a 4 barrell carby.
It is a genuine Suferoo and IMHO it makes no difference whether its been bastardised with some extras. How many "genuine" XY GT's and HO's are REALLY all genuine, not many as most a some repo parts !!. I know of a few XY HO's that now have Fairmont bodies :hihi: tricked up etc etc, but they were genuine in every other way. Just the bodies were a tad crumpled at the time :hihi:
Whether its actually worth $50k depends if someone wants it etc and I hope they do as it would be a shame to lose these historical cars.
I'm sure he would not wreck it as he could a more realistic cash offer for it as it stands.
