    Smile

    Speed Custom,

    The Gorton is probably 40 years old, so it might have 160,000 hours on it.

    You could put it in your toy room, it weighs around 4000 lbs

    After you finish your Taig project, you will be ready for a real challenge.

    Smile Serial numbers and year produced

    Since the last year one was produced was around 1976 I stand corrected.

    It might be only 32 years old.

    See attached link for serial numbers and year produced.
