See video of the car at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht9iMCHR_Lw I bought this car in 2009 from a guy in Arizona. It had less than 2,000 miles since an almost complete restoration. I drove the car back with no problems (which was good since I wanted to make this car into my daily driver). When I got back to San Diego, the first thing I did (or actually CPR Street Machines in Santee did) was swap in a T5 transmission and add A/C (vintage air – still has 2 years left on the warranty). I then put in 3 point seat belts and leather seats from a 1990s era Mustang – these seats are in great shape. Next I upgraded the stereo at La Jolla Audio – they added Focal 130s in the front to supplement the speakers in the hidden rear deck as well as a Sony 4 channel amp and a Sony stereo (both Xplod units) with an iPhone cradle. I chose a stereo that lets you control music directly from the phone/iPad if you want or through the headset’s menu. For safer nighttime driving, I added an LED taillight kit for brighter lights (not one of the sequential lighting kits) and a headlight loom that shortens the distance from power to the headlights for brighter lights. Also added a beautiful Moto-Lite steering wheel. The engine (289 overbored to 302) was completely rebuilt recently, about 500 miles ago by the guys at John’s Automotive. I’m not an engine guy, but Harold (owner of John’s) and Jeff, their classic car mechanic, said it had some pretty nice pricey parts in it to begin with, which is why we went with a rebuild rather than a crate engine. Its been broken in properly and runs great. Some info: Edelbrock Performer 289 intake manifold and Edelbrock 600cfm electric choke carburetor. Instead of running points, a Pertronix electronic ignition module has been added, as well as a Flame Thrower 45k volt coil, also by Pertronix. High Performance low resistance wires were put on, as well as Motorcraft spark plugs and a new starter. After all this, I had a great daily driver and used it this way for about a year. What a great way to get to work and even better for driving home. Car drives smooth at highway speeds (I did 80 routinely while commuting). The car gets 20 mpg and I’ve taken it on multiple road trips (Palm Springs several times). This is as safe and reliable as a 1967 car can be. Other miscellaneous things I have replaced: gas tank and lines, radiator, rear leaf springs, rear shocks, two new Dynomax mufflers (Super Turbos – great throaty sound but won’t wake the neighbors). The rest of the exhaust was new from the restoration (2 1/2" inch pipes into a Dynomax X-pipe, out the back with custom chrome exhaust tips. Professional installation and fully welded including new hangars and bushings). The paint on this car is a basecoat/clearcoat combination. The previous owner had it custom painted by a shop in the Phoenix area and I was told it has multiple coats of clear on it. It absolutely glows in the sunshine with just a bit of metallic sparkle. It's a unique color and with the black Mach I /GT style stripes and a Shelby hood scoop, this car stands apart from the other Ponys. That being said, they didn’t strip the car down to metal, so in a couple unexposed spots (under the hood) you can see the previous color. The stripes are a little worn in spots – there is some cracking visible on the black stripe at the front of the hood. I’ve only found two minor rust spots. Definitely not a perfect paint job, but looks really good. (If you are interested, I have a friend with a shop that can strip the car down to metal, repair the couple of rust spots, do a fantastic paint job in under a month, all for around 5k – it’s a shop in Tijuana which explains the cost savings). But the car looks great – a paint job isn’t needed unless you want to win some big serious shows. According to the previous owner, the only real bodywork this car has had done on it was a cowl repair and a floor pan patch that was welded in after a heater core rotted a couple of pin holes in the passenger toe board. The rust was cut out and an original piece was donated from a donor car and welded back into place. The chrome and trim on this car are completely original and in beautiful condition. All brightworks show very nicely. The wheels are 14" black powder coated light weight custom wheels with chrome outer lip. The tires are newer and staggered. The front tires are 215/60/R14 and the rear tires are 235/55/R14, both with raised white lettering for the muscle car look. The differential is a limited-slip unit with stock 3.00:1 gears. Both tires will light up. Rear differential fluid was changed while the engine and trans were out of the car. No howling or noises. The suspension was new from the restoration (with the exception of the rear 4 leaf springs and shocks I replaced), including tie rods, ball-joints and springs. In addition, a rear sway bar has been added for better cornering. This car goes down the road better than new. It's a real pleasure to drive and it sits with just a hint of rake. Other things to mention from the restoration by the previous owner: the car has power disc brakes on the front, from the factory, but they have been upgraded from the factory "fixed" caliper to the later Granada style "floating" caliper... a more refined, better performing and longer lasting disc brake set up. The master cylinder and power brake booster are new. All the brake hoses are new as well. The rear brakes are also new. New shoes and hardware were added, as well as a new wheel cylinder. The car has had the original power steering system removed and it now has a Shelby style quick steer kit on it. The power assisted steering on old Fords makes it VERY easy to steer... too easy. For a performance application, the manual steering with quick steering is by far better. Car has a clean title and I can send you a copy of the Marti report (VIN = 7R01C208420 = San Jose build, 289-2V, Acapulco Blue paint, blue standard bucket seats, 2.79 axle ratio, C-4 cruise-o-matic). With a little girl at home and a new house, I am reluctantly selling this beauty. Took me some time and a lot of cash to make it a fantastic daily driver – now I am ready to pass it on to someone else to enjoy. Please email me with questions or for additional pictures. The car is for sale locally, so this auction is subject to cancellation in the event of a sale. Will ship internationally.
