INTRODUCTION: Only 540 miles on the restoration. $8100 in service just prior to us acquiring it.
EXTERIOR: It looks like a horizontal rocket ship with its bullet shaped front end and twin thruster tail lights! This one is even that much cooler with the Sport Roadster package. The tonneau cover over the back seat lifts right off and does not interfere with the top. The fit and finish is really excellent on this car. Someone worked hard making sure it is straight as an arrow. It has the scoop on the hood and fender skirts in back.R epainted its original Corinthian white, they gave it the same effort as a black car, it's a white mirror! The chrome sparkles, the stainless is polished and straight. It's a spectacle demonstrating the power top function. All from one switch the rear lid unscrews, opens, unfolds, then the top comes up, the lid closes and screws down tight. The white convertible top looks great. You know what else looks great? The wire wheels! They sparkle like jewelry and are wearing Hankook tires.
INTERIOR: The red interior is a great contrast to the white paint. The dash pad and the door panels are in remarkably good shape, so is all the chrome and trim. The gauge area is really cool and so is the center console. Another neat feature is the swing away steering wheel. Down on the floor it has nice carpet with reproduction mats and seat belts. Under the tonneau cover (easily removable) is a full back seat. The power windows are very convenient, especially when the tonneau is on. It's a stylish, sporty yet roomy interior!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is obvious that this motor compartment was disassembled and restored! Every component looks clean and proper. That's a 390 motor making 300 hp, it runs smooth as silk. It also features factory air conditioning along with power steering and brakes. It's very tidy, the plug wires are run neatly, the choke tube has correct cloth wrap, it has the rubber flaps over the suspension, it has hood insulation and even the Ford washer fluid bag. The metal surfaces are painted neatly, the bolts look fresh.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's one of the best compartments I've seen in one of these! It has an upgraded relay system from Thunderbird Ranch. It replaces the old relays with failsafe electronic relays with manual overrides and also comes with an emergency deck unlock switch. The rams and hoses look new too. It has the complete reproduction liner kit and they even sprung for a 5th wire wheel for the spare.
UNDERSIDE: The restoration wasn't just on top, they did a nice job underneath too! The front end steering looks rebuilt and detailed. It has 4 new shocks and in back the leaf spring bushings were replaced. New swaybars were installed front and back. The brakes were gone through, new brake cylinders were just installed. It has a new fuel tank and filler neck. The dual exhaust looks fresh, has a crossover pipe and stainless mufflers. Looking up at the motor it looks clean, the Cruise-O-Matic trans looks fresh. The floors are clean metal nicely painted semi gloss black.
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 the coolest, most innovative cars from that era! It's not too often you see one restored to the extent this one has been restored.
