Details

Single ownership from 1976, this car has undergone a ground-up restoration. The car stored without motor for 33 years, then purchased by MCA president Jeff Mayes last year for its current owner. It was found in excellent condition- just needing paint and freshening. It features all-original, zero-rust sheet metal as well as mostly original interior, including like-new original dashboard and door panels. The carpet and seat covers have been replaced. All suspension has been re-used, except for replacement shocks and tires. Original matching-numbers Boss 429, original matching-numbers 4-speed manual transmission, original matching-numbers rear-end housing with correct paper axle tag, correctly detailed original carburetor, fuel pump and water pump. Original seatbelts restored and date-coded by Python, undercarriage correct to every detail, stamp and part number. Car still retains the original one-year-only front brake rotors. The oil pan, driveshaft, water pump and alternator have been restored by prominent Boss 429 shop Dead Nuts On. Additional details include proper concours-correct power steering hoses, Ford script headlights, proper Group 29 Autolite battery with vent tubes and original battery cable. It even has correct-date-coded heater hose clamps, smog equipment and exhaust with all-correct part numbers. The front spoiler was never installed. The level of detail and originality on this car is exceptional. Documentation includes a copy of the 1976 title and Deluxe Marti report. 19,500 miles, (title reads exempt).
