Stayfast Black Top, Tonneau & storage bags. This is a beautifully
restored example of a very early 100-4. Red with black coves with
many of the options installed. M series-louvered hood secured with
a leather belt, factory air box and more. New fabulous Custom All
Leather Seats with Red Trim were just completed. The aluminum dash
panel face was buffed to add some brightness to the New Old Stock
gauges purchased. A new set of side curtains completes the Stayfast
weather gear set. The original three speed with overdrive is still
present and rebuilt. It was restored about fifteen years ago after
the previous owner won it in a poker game in the early eighties.
The previous owner purchased it from his wife after he passed away
in 2013 in Reidsville, NC. It was believed the car was originally
purchased in Georgia from a cousin who also lived there. The
previous owner took it to Butch McKenzie, a renown turner/ mechanic
(now retired), to have a complete freshening of all running
systems. Including but not limited to the following: � Compression
tested engine and found to be within specs. The oil pressure is
excellent cold and hot. � Rebuilt carburetors, linkage, and
distributor with a concealed Pertromix Electronic Ignition system
replacing plugs, wires and other parts as needed. � Boiled out the
gas tank and had it coated along with a new sending unit installed.
� Fuel lines, fuel hoses, pumps and clamps were replaced. � All
hoses, belts, thermostat, clamps and the radiator was boiled out
and pressure tested. � New Aluminum oil pan & modern rear main oil
seal. Fresh Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil 20W-50 with high zinc content
& filter installed. � All new wheel cylinders, shoes, drums cuts,
hoses and brake lines (soft & hard) were replaced. � New Dennis
Welsh front aluminum timing cover
