This car was meticulously restored & totally done about 12-14yrs ago. It was driven for about 1500miles since, mostly went to shows & classic car meets. During its restoration, the paint was completely redone to its original color Wimbledon white, the engine & trans were rebuilt and the original rear end received new bearings & seals. We also took care of testing and if necessary, restoring every component that needed it. The condition of the body and paint is excellent. There is no rust present on the vehicle, no scratches or stone chips. The undercarriage is also perfect, it was brought to bare metal before being repainted in Corinthian white.
This car has all original metal body panels with Ford date stamps visible all around which is extremely rare for a Ford from this era. Body was brought back to bare metal before its last repaint.
