I have a lot of great things to say about this one! Very high
quality from a collector that loved this car. I personally drove
home and around town two days in a row. Not only did I love it, but
my wife said we should keep it. The car was born in California and
I bought it in California! A 3 ring binder is full of restoration
documentation.
EXTERIOR: The body is absolutely straight, no bubbles or damage. It
fits square and flush. Great colors and the paint is polished out
smooth and glossy. Hand pinstriped 50s style. All new glass. All
new weatherstrips and rubber gaskets. Every piece of exterior
chrome and trim is new. I love the new 15x7 chrome artillery wheels
with baby moon caps. Rides on radial wide whitewall tires. Has LED
running and taillights.
INTERIOR: Restored from carpet to headliner and matches the
exterior. The dash area was completely restored including rebuilt
gauges, even the clock works. It also has a hot rod style
tachometer and a gauge cluster. There is a cd stereo neatly mounted
in the glovebox and a subwoofer under the seat. New headlight
switch, heater cables, speedo cable, flasher can, etc. New Ididit
polished tilt column with a gorgeous $364 steering wheel. The seats
and door panels were reupholstered. All the metal trim has been
painted smooth and glossy. Has seat belts front and back. Every
where you look, it is like new inside.

pleated material on the sides. Custom made matching tire cover too.
Has a carpeted floor. It is also full trunks with awards and
trophies that this car has earned. The bottom of the trunk lid and
the jamb are painted real nice, the weather strip is new.
UNDERSIDE: The front end is not only rebuilt but it's detailed like
a new car. All the suspension is painted,all the nuts and bolts are
new. Has new bushings,
KYB shocks, swaybar springs etc. Rear suspension is new too-
springs, bushings and air shocks. The bottom of the motor is

completely redone, e-brake assembly is complete. Great sounding
custom magnaflow dual exhaust with a crossover pipe. Bottom of the
car is rock solid. The floors are under coated, the chassis is
painted black. New body bushings.
It was such an easy car to drive. We cruised all over and enjoyed
it very much. Finally I'm at a red light, it turned green so I
decided to get on it- what a surprise! This ole Ford is quick! The
new owner will absolutely be very happy with this one.
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.
