INTRODUCTION: Wow, this is an exceptional beauty! I was super
impressed when I bought it and I'm even more impressed now looking
at it a second time. The fit, finish and functions inside and out
are amazing. It's very nicely optioned too. Someone's going to get
a great car with nothing to do but enjoy it!
EXTERIOR: It was a California built car and it's a safe assumption
it lived out there because the body is so clean. Every inch of it
is laser straight, all the panels line up square and flush, you can
close the doors with your pinky. The candy apple red paint is
polished like glass, it is very glossy. The sparkling chrome and
trim really puts it over the top, it looks like it was all replaced
including the vent window frames, correct antenna, bumpers, emblems
etc. It has deluxe mirrors and the driver's side is remote. It also
features GT fog lamps in the grill and beautiful GT wheels wearing
Hancook tires. It's a black convertible power top in excellent
condition. The weatherstrips and windshield were replaced. It
presents like new, maybe better!
INTERIOR: It is really tidy, proper and functional inside. It has a
complete deluxe pony interior which includes molded door panels,
knife handle door openers, deluxe upholstery with ponies running on
the seats, wood grain trim and a deluxe steering wheel. It all
looks fresh from the cushions in the seats to the window cranks. It
has fresh looking carpet on the floor with reproduction pony
floormats. It has original Ford seatbelts front and back. The dash
pad and instrument bezels have been replaced. It has the rally pack
sitting on the steering column that includes a tachometer and a
clock that has been upgraded with quartz movement. The original AM
radio also has an FM converter in the glovebox where you will also
find the owner's manual. Everything works including the interior
lights, gauges and radio.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Very nicely detailed motor compartment! It's
original 289 V8 runs smoothly and was rebuilt by previous owner
that restored the car. It is stock including its data tag,
manifolds, valve covers and air cleaner. It even has reproduction
spark plug wires! The power steering pump is new, the washer fluid
bag and electric washers all hooked up, horns work etc. it has a
correct radiator, shroud, reproduction cap, hoses and clamps. It
also has an Autolite reproduction battery. All the metal surfaces
are very clean and painted very nicely including the gloss red
under the hood.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
slick like the car, even inside is all clean metal painted gloss
red. It has reproduction weatherstrip, decal, jacking instructions,
well liner, trunk mat and matching tire cover. Under the tire cover
is a restored spare with the jack assembly. It is very clean and
complete!
UNDERSIDE: It appears to have its clean and dry California metal
floors, frame rails and torque boxes. They all appear to be solid
and neatly painted satin black. The steering and suspension also
appears to have been rebuilt along with the brake system. It's been
inspected by our shop and passed with flying colors. It has the
proper GT dual exhaust with crossover pipe, mufflers, resonators
and the stainless tips going out through the valance. The fuel tank
and sending unit was replaced at the time of restoration. Looking
up at the motor it is clean and has a correct fuel pump and
starter. The C4 automatic is also clean and working properly. The
rear end has 2.80 cruising gears.
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: When I tell you this one is exceptional I mean you can
go look at as many as you want and I'm confident this will be one
of the very best. In all regards it's impressive, not to mention it
is beautiful and optioned out very nicely!
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.
