I am the 3rd owner of this car that was originally sold by Smith Ford, Lordsburg New Mexico. It was built in San Jose CA and has been restored from ground up including taken back to bare metal and repainted in the original Silver Frost. The interior has been renewed to original spec. The engine is the original 200 ci straight six that came with the car new. It has been rebuilt to drive smoothly on today's roads and highways in that it has oversize valves with hardened seats to accommodate lead free gasoline. The carburetor has been updated to a Weber dual throat and has headers to breath properly through a 2.25" exhaust system. The distributor has been updated to a DUI electronic ignition and the plug wires are custom made from Magnecor. It has the original three (3) speed top loader transmission. Two years ago I had Classic Mustangs of Houston add power steering and Classic AutoAir air conditioning. From the outset the car looks mostly like it just came off the showroom and it is an ideal cruiser. The car is for show....not go, if you know what I mean. This pony will turn heads and gets attention at car shows. The wheel trims are original with the car and inside the car the original AM radio is still there. Interior wise I have added 3 point seat belts and got rid of the dash pull parking brake for a hand brake between the seats. My son mounted the tachometer on a custom bracket that he built on a 3D printer that looks like it was always there. All dash gauges have been rebuilt. I no longer drive it. She sits in the driveway under cover and I'll wash it every now and then and take it along the Seawall to keep it running. It's time for someone else to enjoy it. The body is straight and essentially rust free, however, a little surface rust has popped up here and there but it's not deep. This is a great car to take to the next level if you're so inclined. A conversion to automatic would be a breeze and of course there are those who will fit a new Coyote V8 into it. I understand why as I have one in my F150. But in all honesty this is a great Sunday driver that you will need to park away from others when you take it shopping.
