A fastidious car enthusiast. He owned the car for 10 years in which time he restored it mechanically to above original specs. The restoration was a complete go through from radiator to differential. A detailed set of pictures come with the car showing all work completed, plus a comprehensive file of photos and receipts.
There is an aluminum radiator and an electric fan currently fitted, also electronic ignition and a Holly carburetor with sports air cleaner currently on the car. The original Ford air cleaner, the original fan and the original carburetor will all be sold with the car.

When I purchased the car in 2015 it had done just 56000 miles. I imported the car my self from Texas.
In the last 8 years I have done just 6000 miles only to club meeting and never in wet conditions. Since the mechanically restoration, the car has done between 8000 to 10000 miles approximately.
