This car looks Fabulous, nd is guaranteed to catch almost anyone eye, articularly any car aficionado. This Coupe was owned by the same person for the past thirteen years. He purchased this car from a very high end collector (who is a personal friend of Wayne Carrini and who has been featured with Wayne on multiple episodes of Chasing Classic Cars). This car underwent a full Resto-Mod that took nearly six years, nd was completed approximately 15 years ago. This car has been driven about six thousand miles since then, ainly to cars shows and hotrod or classic car events. These are the details of the restoration that I was provided: • This was a full, rame off restoration. • The body was removed, nd the frame was fully prepped and coated. All of the suspension and steering components were replaced and/or rebuilt. • A Mercury Flathead V8 engine was rebuilt and installed. This engine has a high rise aluminum intake manifold and dual carbs. • The transmission was fully rebuilt, long with all shifter linkage. An automatic overdrive was also added, o you can comfortably drive this car on the interstate. • The rear differential was rebuilt. A new driveshaft was installed with appropriate U-joints. • True dual exhaust with glasspacks was added, hich makes this car sound period appropriate. The side pipes were installed for looks, ut have never been used. They are fully functional and can be hooked up if desired. • The entire body was stripped, repped and refinished in the sparkling blue metallic. The ghost flames and trunk graphics are all painted. • The full engine bay was also stripped and painted, long with all wheel well openings. • All exterior trim was refinished, nd all of the chrome was stripped and re-chromed. • The custom grill was installed, nd a set of spoke wheels are from a 1955 Thunderbird were installed. • The interior was gutted and fully replaced. • The front and rear seats were completely reupholstered with all new cushions and the gray velour fabric. • The carpeting and all insulation was replaced. • Custom door panels and rear deck were produced and installed. • A custom fabric headliner was installed. • The electrical system was converted to 12 volts. • Digital instrumentation was installed in place of the speedometer, nd a cassette radio was also installed. This Coupe starts, uns and drives absolutely beautifully. You're not going to believe how nicely this car runs and drives. I drove this car back to our shop about 40 miles, nd was totally and pleasantly surprised. This is literally a vehicle that you can get in and drive right now. The overdrive makes this a totally usable highway vehicle, nd I don't see anything about this car that would prevent me some from driving this car anywhere. The owner drove to car shows 100+ miles away without any concerns. The Mercury Flathead V8 engine starts easily and idles perfectly. It is very strong and smooth and it does not smoke. The transmission shifts perfectly and the clutch engages smoothly. The shifter linkage is snug and tight. This car idles quietly, ut has a nice crackle when you step on it. The suspension and steering feels nice and tight, nd the brake feel is excellent. * This car also comes with a manual floor shift transmission with Hurst shifter, hat could be installed in place of the column shift if desired. The only indication that this car has been driven after it was restored is a little road grime on the undercarriage. The undercarriage is in excellent condition, ithout the slightest bit of rust or other damage. The floors are completely solid, nd the frame along with all suspension components still have the coating from 15 years ago without any deterioration. The exterior looks absolutely fabulous. This car was refinished 15 years ago, ut it looks like it was painted last week. The body is super straight, nd the paint is in outstanding condition. The finish is nearly flawless. I think there is only one stone nick on the car, nd a rub mark where one of the rear wheel side skirts attaches. Otherwise, here aren't any paint defects at all. The flames and graphics are in perfect condition. All of the chrome on this car looks brand new. The spoke wheels are perfect. All of the glass is crystal clear, ithout any streaks or scratches. The interior looks like it was never used. All of the seat fabric, oor panels, eadliner, ash etc, nd in perfect condition. No stains, ear marks or signs of use. It even smells like new.
This is a fantastic looking, nd superb running car. This Coupe needs nothing, nd could be picked up and driven away, r entered in a car show right now. |
