It was damaged in the rear, and repaired before I bought it in 2002. I have put over 30k miles on it since.
As far as the "driver" question...You can drive it everyday I have, I currently don't as I bought the '05 as a DD. I was planning on turning the GT into a track piece.
The A/C, Heat, Emissions equipment is all intact and working. It does have a rear seat delete and four point harnesses.
