Notes:
Sunset Coral and White, restoration started.  The body work is 90% done and needs some fine tuning.  Engine bay detailed and firewall painted, motor painted in proper Edsel Yellow as well as the valve covers in White.  The seats are all redone in the proper pattern in Coral and White as well as the rear panels.  The front door panels will have to be acquired at SMS in Oregon, as they are missing.

The car will need a dual exhaust system and convertible top, and the bumpers will have to be rechromed.

All mechanicals rebuilt, motor, transmission (including Teletouch), rear end, new gas tank and gas lines, new brake lines and brakes.  The motor runs well and the Teletouch works fine.  There are many boxes of spare parts with the car.  It is a very solid vehicle and will not take much to finish - all the hard work is done.

Notes:
It has 98% of all the parts and has had a bunch of work done to the car already.  The car has been under restoration for some time now, some of the work done by us and some by the owner.  The previous owner had the engine, transmission and rear end gone through and runs great and is ready to get the exhaust system put in.  It has had most of the interior redone as well. The car has got all new brakes and lines and master cylinder.  We rebuilt the push button shifting assembly and it works great!  The car also has many extra parts that go with this package.  The bumpers are good and can be re-chromed.  The car has all the side moldings, lights, grill and shell parts too.  Dash is really nice and all the gages and switches are very nice as well.  Wiring harness is complete and the car is close to being ready for paint.  Some of the front grill items are already re-done and are sitting in boxes ready to bolt on. The top frame has been redone within the past 2 years and comes with the pump and lines.  You will need to get a top for it, I have the old one.  Like I said it as most all the parts you need to finish.  There will be some items you will need to get, but this is a really nice SOLID rust-free car.  Someone repaired the floor pans and the underside of the car is nice!  The quarters and fenders are very clean and rust-free and the car has a nice set of rear fender skirts too!  All the glass is included with the car.
There are a bunch of really nice parts that can be easily refurbished to complete the car.  The customer has spent about $5000.00 with us so far and has to under go back surgery and will not be able to finish the car.
