CHRIST!!!!
That has the power to be a beauty
All it needs is a strip, and a bath, then a re build
New rubber bits and you have a minter!

Looks like an early 90's jobbie to me so a bit 'new' to do a true Fiola rep, having said that, I've got an '87 GT sat in my garage right now in a rather fetching shade of custard yellow. The serial number of the frame should tell you when it was born. eg, if it starts 0491 then the frame was made April 91 etc. Keep us posted on the rebuild, love them GTs me.

Dollarbill is right is looks like early 90's (with the new GT logo and no platform cross brace tube), so a Fiola rep wouldn't be the best route...I would suggest a re-chrome with black parts...that'll fit the era.
Nice find dude! Good luck with the build!
