Finding a documented one family owned 52 year old “survivor” vehicle is very rare. This car is so nice it appears nicer than most restored cars. They’re only original once!
The exterior of this car is in beautiful original condition especially considering its 52 years old. It retains all of its original sheet metal and factory gap lines. The hood, doors and trunk close very nicely. The rear of the hood is slightly raised from the original hood hinges. The car sports its original Grabber Green paint the exception of the paint on the front lower valance which was damaged on the carrier on its way to the dealership when it was new. MS CLASSIC CARS tested all the panels for original paint with an electronic paint meter and the paint passed as all original. The paint meter readings can be viewed in the photo gallery and in the presentation video. MS CLASSIC CARS re-painted the front lower valance in September of 2022 because it still had the original slight damage and the paint wasn’t holding up well from when it was re-painted in 1970. The paint does have a few slight imperfections as expected. These imperfections are shown in the presentation video. The paint was recently detailed to a show quality shine. The Grabber Green paint is complimented with the original black hood stripe, original black lower side moldings, original black rear spoiler and original black rear tail light panel. The entire factory stamped glass is in very good condition and original with the exception of the passenger quarter glass which was replaced years ago because of damage. Some of the original exterior pieces include the glass trim, wiper arms, antenna, hood locks, front grille, light lenses, front and rear bumper, tail light bezels, gas cap and emblems. The car sits on the original 14” steel wheels which are outfitted the original hub caps. The wheels are wrapped with new the correct Firestone Wide Oval FR70-14 tires with raised white letters that were added by MS CLASSIC CARS in September of 2022. The tires look like a Bias Ply but are radials which ride better. The original set of 1977 Appliance Industries 14” wheels are wrapped with BF Goodrich Radial T/A white raised letter tires that were purchased in 2003. The factory original VIN tag is in the correct location.
The interior of this car is also in beautiful original condition especially considering its 52 years old. The White Clarion Knit/Corinthian color compliments the exterior perfectly. The headliner, door panels, front bucket seats and rear seat are white. The dash, console, carpeting on lower door panels, seat belts, carpeting and rubber floor mats are black. The light colored headliner makes the cabin feel spacious. The dash fits like a glove and is free of any cracks which are commonly found. The gauges are housed with simulated wood trim which is also found on the rim blow steering wheel, console and door panels. The driver’s door panel is equipped with a remote mirror control. The driver’s door panel does have some cracks around the arm rest area. Everything in the interior is in working order including the heat, radio and clock. The only upgrade to the interior was the clock was upgraded to electric. One of the two original build sheets is still attached to the floor under the carpeting behind the driver’s seat which is awesome. The entire rear seat was removed to highlight the original floor mat. The photos of the build sheet and floor mat are in the photo gallery. The trunk compartment of this car is also in very good original condition. It retains the original trunk sticker, light stickers, mat and Ford rear speaker. MS CLASSIC CARS added a pre-owned Ford
era correct 14” steel wheel that’s wrapped with a matching correct Firestone Wide Oval FR70-14 radial tire with raised white letters. The factory original door tags are in the correct location.
The engine compartment is also in beautiful original condition especially considering its 52 years old.The car is powered by its factory original 351 Cleveland V8 engine that was factory rated with 300HP. The engine is coupled to the factory original FMX Select-Shift Cruise-O-Matic transmission. \
The undercarriage is super clean and presents very nicely. The entire underside was uncoated when the car was new which really preserved everything.
