California Car

Len,

This is my father-in-laws (Gary) car, e bought it from the original owner, Madera, a resident. The car was bought for the daughter of a local resident when the daughter was in high school, riven for some years and then parked in a barn until Gary purchased it. At time of purchase the speedo had 68K on it, nd didn't work, riginal owner said shehadn'tdriven it long after the speedo stopped. Gary, urchased it, rove it very occasionally, nly local in the small town of Madera, aybe once a month and then parked it in his garage for several years, ustdidn'thave time to mess with starting it and getting it out, t was parked sideways in the garage. In 2009 he trailered it to British Steel in Fresno, A to have it restored, ot frame off but very through. They replaced everything that needed replacing including the hubs and wheels. I am not sure how they prepped the body for paint but am pretty sure it was taken to bare metal, he car had a blue Earl Shibe paint job over the original red. The dash was still red when Gary purchased it, t was a darker red, he color on it now is Miata Red, ary is partial to red cars. Since the restore, he car has been driven very little, nce a month maybe, hen recent less than that due to health reasons. The engine is the original and doesn't smoke.

I would like to say a couple of things about who I am. I am helping Gary sell this, e is 83 years old and barely does email. I am very involved with this family and the restoration of this car, had and recently sold a 1967 custom mustang and had a career as an aircraft mechanic. I tell you this to give myself credibility. This is a beautiful car. Gary spent $23000 at British Steel and we have in invoices to prove it.
