Looking for a low mileage GT

[drilling]

Yes.

I saw some people pulling wire from the front trunk. How do I do that?

And what should I do if battery dies? Get a new one?

You can attach a battery tender pigtail directly to the battery terminals, run it out the front at the tow hook and tie-wrap it there.

Dead battery ... yep, get a new one. And hope it lasts more than a couple years.

Don't screw around wondering about a new battery. If you are unsure how old it is or its status, replace it. When you install new battery you can add the pigtail and run it out the front of the trunk. The pigtail will usually have a ring connector on it. I cut out a piece (about 1/4) to slide into the battery terminal without having to take the terminal clamp off completely. Make sure the pigtail end matches your battery tender wires.

While you're in there you might want to consider adding a redundant ground from the battery to the chassis. There is a threaded hole nearby to accept a bolt. The ground connection to the aluminum chassis has been an occasional problem.

Whenever I deal with electrical grounds, I loosen them, squirt some Boeshield T6 or other waxy lubricant/preservative on the connection, wiggle it around to scrape off any slight corrosion, and retighten. I have had very few ground problems on any of my old cars, and then only at connections I haven't treated yet.
