It's obvious that the 2000GT's design is very similar to Goertz's style, but as the 2000GT was built, it wasn't actually his design. This is how I understand it, anyway.

To add more facts to this car. Only 350 were made. It was available only with hardtop but 2 prototype convertibles were made. One of it was made for the Bond movie, You Only Live Twice.
