2 door. Purchased from eBay 3 years. Spent time restoring car.
Original California car, no rust. Clean.
Replaced flathead motor with shop rebuilt mustang motor ( 289 cubic engine)
All new parts. Had custom mechanic in Santa Barbara install motor along with many new parts; ford 2 barrel carb, distributor,radiator, new gas tank, battery, converted to 12volt, new custom retro radio ( copy of original) blue tooth, and new speakers. Original 3 speed transmission . No overdrive required due to ratio of rear end. Replaced steering wheel with new identical to original.
Installed new vintage A/C. Very cold.
New cocker radial tires. New brakes with original wheels and caps.
New interior, including sound proofing material. New carpets, Matt’s, deluxe seats front and back and side panels and doors . Left headliner due to ok condition.
Chrome on bumpers ok but front grill worn. All lights and signals work as do windows. All locks work with trunk key. Horn works. All glass good. Replaced rear windows on side with acrylic ( looks better than original. ( I still have original glass and frames. ) custom restored California plates with metal 49 tags. All Approved by DMV. Dual exhaust all new to chrome tips in rear. Speedometer restored, works great. Gas gauge and oil prescription works fine. As well as fuel.
Paint about 20?years old and is passable with some blemishes.
Everything considered it’s not your average shoe box . I just couldn’t see restoring a flathead motor. Wanted a reliable motor. About 200 HP ( 100 more than flathead)
