Outstanding rotisserie restoration. Just finished 2020 and only
driven 917 miles since. It is one of the best cars I've bought this
year. The fit, finishes and function will exceed your
expectations.
EXTERIOR: Claimed to be all original metal. The body is absolutely
straight, the panels fit precisely. No rust or damage. The doors
shut like a new car. It has the 427 GT-E hood scoop. The marker
lights were removed and filled for a clean look. The Cardinal red
paint has a smooth glossy finish. The door jambs are super
detailed, painted real slick. New hardware, door latches, weather
strips and sill plates. The original bumpers were rechromed. All
the trim around the windows, door handles, mirrors, antenna look
like new. New windshield. The retractable headlights are converted
to electric, they open and close with ease. The sequential tail
lights in back are working properly. It has F70 Firestone redline
tires that look like bias ply but are actually radials. It also has
a modern twist on the GT wheels, they are cut from alloy aluminum
with red cougar center caps.
INTERIOR: Absolutely meticulously restored. Down on the floor is
new carpet and cougar reproduction floor mats. The center console
looks brand new including the shifter and bezel. It also has a
quartz movement clock and the factory AM-FM stereo that works. In
front of me is a pristine dash area. New dash pad, the whole
instrument panel has a custom wrap. It has a full set of factory
gauges including tachometer. Only 917 miles on the odometer which
is since the restoration. It has the factory toggle switches.
Premium wood rimmed steering wheel with chrome spokes. Overhead is
a mini console, the headliner, visors, mirror and dome light are
new. The door panels, armrests, handles and cranks are new. Seats
are recushioned and upholstered. It has LED interior lights.
Upgraded with three point retractable seat belts.

quality. Rebuilt 302 motor and it has a Holley carb with electric
choke. It has date coded spark plug wires, reproduction hoses and
clamps. New chrome valve covers and air cleaner. It features power
steering and power brakes. Every single component looks brand new.
The engine bay is all smooth metal with a nice satin black finish.
The hinges are restored. Under the hood and the jambs are gloss
red. New nuts and bolts throughout. New washer bottle. Reproduction
Autolite battery is properly secured, new battery cables and
solenoid.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Also restored like new. All clean metal painted
red. The trunk lid and jamb are slick like glass. New wiring
harness, weatherstrip, plaid mat and a matching tire cover. Brand
new tire for the spare, the correct jack is restored. Working LED
trunk light too.
UNDERSIDE: It is literally like brand new under this car. The
floors are pristine metal. Correctly painted in slop gray with the
proper amount of red body overspray. Every single component in the
front end looks brand new. I'm talking about the a-arms, center
link, tie rods, bushings, springs, shocks, ball joints etc. The
power steering system is new. Even the nuts and bolts look new. In
back it has new shocks, bushings and hardware. The fuel system is
new including the tank, sending unit and fuel lines. The brake
system has been completely restored. It has disc in front, new
brake lines, hoses and e-brake assembly. New dual exhaust system
with crossover pipe and the correct GT tips coming through the
valance. The bottom of the motor is spotless. It has a Motorcraft
oil filter, new fuel pump and starter. The C-4 automatic
transmission is completely restored and concourse detailed with the
factory paint markings reapplied. Rebuilt driveshaft also has
factory paint markings. The rear end is restored and has 3.00:1
gears. Front to back looks new!
Really, this car exceeded my expectations. Detailed in and out, top
to bottom. I drove it home and the car feels and functions
amazingly well. This one is better then most cars at any price
range. It's a good looking, unique car.
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.
