I recently picked up a '65 series IV GT which originally I was going to
use as a parts car for a '65 Mark 1 tiger that I am restoring. The
alpine had been stored for many years and while its asking price was
higher than I wanted to give for a parts car, it appeared solid and was
complete. After getting it home and cleaning it up I began to have
second thoughts about using it as a parts car so I spent a couple of
days making it operational. I have also learned that it may be a fairly
rare car since it is a GT that is also an automatic.
My question to the group is how rare and desirable is a GT automatic
series IV? Since it is a solid and presentable car, and if it is
desirable I would probably forgo the parting out of it and sell it and
begin looking for a new parts car. I would appreciate any and all
information that anyone could provide. For identification purposes the
cowl tag shows

CHASSIS B9405421 GT

Thanks in advance for any replies and I apologize to anyone who takes
offense to me wanting to part out an Alpine. I really do not want to
cannabalize a good car, but want to find one with most of the parts I
need that would be cost prohibitive to restore.
