Carone,

Lots of red flags here, where do I begin. Lets start with the year, in 1978 Jensen Motors had been out of business for two years so there were no Jensens, GT or otherwise built in 1978.

Since the car hasn't been registered for a while (probably since the engine swap) I'd suspect it's a '76 since the '75 is smog exempt. Also no pictures under the hood? I'd check with the Nevada DMV you may be able to register it as is, but if it's a '76 it's illegal in CA.

Doing a swap back would be a challenge, first you've got to find an original engine/trans in good enough condition or rebuild it first. Second you have no idea what else is missing, modified or replaced.

It's a very nice looking GT and the early steel bumps (never installed on the GT)are a nice look. The interior while non-stock looks nice. There are no floorboard or underneath pictures so no idea what condition it's in rust wise.

If you're looking for a mostly original GT I'd keep looking. They pop up on BaT from time to time.
