Same owner since 1980, 37 years! Has a folder of restoration
receipts and owner history going back to 1962. It was a full frame
off, show quality restoration decades ago but still shows very well
and functions great.
EXTERIOR: The body and paint sure have proven themselves, it looks
like they were restored yesterday. The body is all clean metal,
there's no signs of bubbling or cracking. It's polished out to a
smooth glass like finish. All of the chrome is brilliant, looks
like it was rechromed yesterday. All the weatherstrips and seals
were replaced and are still soft rubber. All new Ford script safety
glass. There are plenty of accessories including bumper guards,
bumper wingtips, blue dot tail lights, locking gas cap, fender
skirts and a spotlight. The rims are painted red and have deluxe
trim. The big whitewalls are radials. The top really adds to the
beauty of the car. It is a Hartz cloth canvas top in brand new
condition. Same color as the interior.
INTERIOR: It is really nice inside. It looks like it was completely
redone at time of restoration. The instruments, knobs steering
wheel are real nice. The speaker grill is a little warped. The
upholstery was redone, other then some mild cracking in the lower
seat cushion, it looks new. It is carpeted front and back. All
interior chrome looks new. The convertible top frame was restored
and painted. It's pretty decked out inside too. Has radio, deluxe
heater, clock- seatbelts and turn signals were added.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: There's a few nice upgrades under the hood
including some vintage performance equipment. A set of finned
Offenhauser aluminum heads, Offenhauser aluminum intake and a 4
barrel carb. Upgraded to an alternator from a generator. A Walker
radiator with an electric fan keeps it running cool. In addition to
the large trumpet horns it has a vintage air horn too. The metal is
is clean and painted real nice.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: In the trunk it has a painted red rim with a
brand new matching radial white wall. The trunk is completely solid
and painted. The rubber mat has gotten brittle and cracked.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame for a thorough restoration
underneath. It appears to be a rust free car. The frame and chassis
are smooth black, not pitted. The floor pan is the same color as
the outside and looks mint. The components look proper. In back it
has an optional 2 speed Columbia rear end, great for highway
speeds. The trans is a 3-speed. The bottom of the motor is still
clean. Suspension parts all look good. It's not greasy or grimy.
This car must not have been used much.
We purchased this car from an elderly man that had a 30 car
collection. This was the last one he sold because it was his
favorite. It sure looks like it was cared for like a favorite!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
