The interior is original and is just breath-taking. The seating area is
covered in the nostalgic plastic for protection. All three seats are just
magnificent. The original red salt and pepper type of floor mat material is
still all intact and beautiful. The cargo area has been freshened up, and
looks great, you can open it for show. The dash area with all its chrome is about
the best you will find. The steering wheel is beautiful. It has a new set
of show gauges installed (oil pressure, temp, volts), and a new tachometer. Also
has a new custom sound radio system with 2 speakers. Also, it has the original
Kleenex dispenser under the dash.
All the glass is the original Ford Script glass. I just had the car Limo Tinted
for sun protection and good looks. The engine compartment has been completely
detailed for show, it is really nice. The undercarriage is very solid, cleaned
and painted chassis black. It has a repalcement remanufactured engine with about
100 miles. All the attached parts have all been rebuilt, radiator, generator,
water pump, carb, etc. When you first start the car it does make a little lifter
noise, which is quite typical of Ford engines of this era. After the engine was
rebuilt it sat quite a while before it was run, so one of the lifters need to pump
up. It goes away as it is driven more. The brakes were just all
redone. It has a new dual exhaust system with glass pack mufflers. It
is now powered by the 361 cubic inch "Super Express" Engine with the
3-speed manual transmission. Standard steering and brakes.
