Amongst the many items addressed in the restoration were  the following:
Front disk brakes have been added for safety including new front calipers and rotors, front bearings and seals.  A dual master cylinder delivers the stopping power.  The rear drum brakes have been completely rebuilt.  The original 289 has been replaced with a completely rebuilt 302 from a 71 Torino donor.  A mild cam and electronic ignition were added in the build-up.  The C-4 transmission has been properly and completely rebuilt (this happens to be the owner’s profession).  The engine and transmission currently have about 3,000 miles on them since their rebuild.The car features dual aluminized exhaust.  Front end is completely rebuilt including ball joints, upper and lower control arm bushings.  The 15”x 7” Torque Thrusts are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle rubber.  Shocks are by Monroe.  The power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 3.33 rear end ratio featuring new bearings and seals. Power steering makes this an easy car to handle and was donated along with a complete serpentine pulley and belt system from an ’88 5.0 Mustang. 

     This gorgeous convertible also features a new aftermarket air conditioning system.  Cooling is courtesy of electric dual fans combined with cross-flow aluminum radiator.  In addition the alternator has been upgraded  from a 42 amp to 110 amp unit  .The convertible top has been replaced, is power driven and works perfectly.  All chrome has been re-chromed, all stainless cleaned and polished then clear coated.  The exterior finish was taken down to bare metal which was meticulously massaged prior to re-paint.  The quality of workmanship shows in the nice straight lines of this car and the beautiful final appearance.  The interior is completely redone including carpet, door panels and weather stripping. Again, the owner built this car to enjoy and took time to enhance safety by including 3 point restraint belts front and rear.

     This car has been very tastefully restored to show off its vintage good looks while building in safety and comfort upgrades that make it a pleasure to drive.  At the same time it has a nice aggressive sound while not being too loud.  This car is an absolute head-turner that begs to be driven to cruises and shows. The current owner has asked us to represent the car on his behalf.  We have included a large number of photographs with this write-up but feel free to contact us with specific questions.  The car can be available for viewing by prior appointment.
