When He purchased this car in 2001 from D&N Motor Co. in Warrenton GA. the Engine and Transmission had already been changed to a 390 GT (C6ME-A) with a Holley 600CFM 4BBL, and 4-speed Transmission(HEH AR) and the Rear Axle was changed to a 9" (Axle Ratio 3.25:1). The Cyclone Fiberglass hood was already on the Car and the Car was repainted before he purchased it. The current RED, is not the factory red color. Since he purchased the Car, He has made a few changes as well such as, reupholstering the Front & Rear Seats and the Package Tray. Then he had the Steering Wheel refurbished and the Front and Rear Bumpers were re-chromed, but some chrome is peeling on the Front Bumper now. The 390 Big Block was up graded with FPA headers and Side Exit Dual Exhaust with Glass Packs. It sports Ford 14" wheels with Cyclone hubcaps and like new Tires. It has a Dual Bowl Master Cylinder for better Braking. Since the Modifications were done, the Mileage is unknown. It does have a clear Florida Title. This Car is driven often with no problems and it sounds great. It has won many Trophies at the Local Shows and shines up nicely. This is a Rare Classic that is over 45 Years old. There is a few spots of Rust coming thru on the Lower Corners of the Doors (Easy Fix) and there is a few Chips in the Paint that were touched up. This is not a Concours Comet but it is very Cool, Rare, Unique and a Sleeper. The Buyer is responsible for Shipping or Pick Up. Fly in and Drive it home if you wish. Contact me with any questions you may have before Bidding. This Car is worth a lot more then what I am starting this Auction at. It is being sold “AS IS” with NO expressed or implied Warranty or Guaranty. All Body& Paint Work and the Drivetrain were already done before my Friend purchased the Car and drove it home. If the Winning Bidder lives in Canada, just remember, the Price is US Rate. I do have this Cool Car For Sale locally so I reserve the right to end this Auction early so if you want it, Bid Now.
