INTRODUCTION: This light weight themed fastback was professionally
restored at L'Cars. When you get past the good looks, the
performance built motor will excite your other senses!
EXTERIOR: At first glance and after a close inspection it is
obvious this is professional body and paint work. Its fit and
finish are outstanding! Done in 2016 and it still looks like it was
done last night. The body is laser beam straight, including the
fiberglass teardrop hood. All the gaps are square and flush, doors
shut like new. Painted a beautiful Radiant Blue metallic that is
polished like glass, even the jambs are slick. Keeping with the
lightweight theme, the bumpers are fiberglass. The stainless trim
was straightened and polished. The grille and tail panel are in
very good condition. The weatherstrips and windshield were
replaced. Some little features I like are the 427 cross flag
emblems, Tasca Ford emblem and the deluxe mirror. 4 more obvious
features I like are the 15 inch Cragar wheels with spinners and
wrapped in BFG tires, a little fatter in the back.
INTERIOR: It is beautifully restored to its original vintage charm.
The upholstery has that cool chrome piping and the door panels have
style too. The carpet was replaced along with the white headliner
and visors. The dash was repainted, the knobs and bezels are good
originals. A Super Comp tachometer along with oil and temp gauges
were added to monitor what that high performance motor is doing. A
retro stereo was installed in the factory hole, and interior lights
work. The highlight is that Hurst 4-speed sitting down on the
floor!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That's a healthy, performance built FE 390 with
a hotter cam, aluminum heads and intake, a giant dual feed Holley
carb with electric choke and a Pertronix Flamethrower distributor
and electronic ignition, and custom made long tube headers. It's
dressed up with chrome valve covers and air cleaner with 427
decals. The engine compartment is clean and complete with horns,
rev limiter, windshield washers with washer fluid bag and a
properly secured battery. It runs cool with an aluminum radiator
and water pump.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
slick. It has a cadmium latch assembly and new weatherstrip. Inside
is also painted blue and has the liner kit including side panels. A
matching duffle bag is included as well.
UNDERSIDE: It has rebuilt suspension and added traction bars in
back. The brakes were rebuilt at the time of restoration. The fat
dual exhaust has an x-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. The fuel tank
was replaced. Looking up at the motor it is clean and that's a top
loader 4-speed attached to it. A rebuilt drive shaft leads back to
a 9 inch rear with 3.25 Traction Lok gears. The underbody, inner
rockers and 1/4s are dry, clean metal.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: One of our less expensive cars has one of our best
paint jobs! In today's world this is a very affordable car that is
going to make you proud wherever you show it and make you excited
wherever you drive it!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
