Nearly everything is New or darn near it on this car...
Drive it daily so she has a very few little repaired stone marks that in way impair her visual appeal, and still a show-stopper. Starts immediately. Runs very smoothly.A pleasure to drive Summer or Winter. (Got a chip in the windshield that looks like a small caliber bullet above the Gas Rationing "A" tag from WWII. Not a hole, but adds something to the look that I liked.)
On August 3 added two images: One of cowl plate and second of Arizona Title.
A personal note: This is not a Hotrod Ford with an SBC 350 crate and an automatic tranny: This is a real Ford car: Ford from front to back, the way they used to build a performance car.
(There are four functional sets of seatbelts under the cushions.)

Flaws List (i.e. Things I would eventually fix, but I've lost my muse.)
1. 1-1/2 inch stress fraction in RF fender which has been repaired, but I told myself that if I ever painted it again I'd braze the line and finish it better prior to repaint. (The car is nowhere needing a repaint, so it makes it difficult emotionally to pop the fender and shoot it with "Black No Blue."
2. OD Cable on the R10 pushes and pulls easily enough but I was thinking of a lever actuated floor shift next to the tranny.
3. E-Brake cable (RH side) rides on the R10 case and should have a small piece of fabricated steel to serve as a chafe guard, although there's nothing wrong with the cable, but it would allow for psychically smoother operation knowing that every time you pull the E-Brake it isn't dragging across the R10 case, although I don't park on hills very often so 1st-R holds the car very well as long as the R10 cable isn't engaged in which case the car will roll.
4. Far right of windshield has a small pit above "A" sticker, as mentioned above.
5. Although the rear-mount spare holder is not on car, I do have it along with another 35 spoke wheel for it. Can of Fix-A-Flat works better...your preference. HAVE NOT USED FIX-A-FLAT ON THESE TIRES.
6. In a year or two or three a new cobra grain top or steel insert, if you should decide to repaint, or just keep it garaged and it will last for a decade. (Small, repaired, sealed hole.)
7. Very few small scratches: I've tried to stay abreast of them and do touch-up as needed.
8. This car does not have an operable windshield wiper. (You're not going to drive it in the rain, are you?!) Front visor is a rain visor and will keep the windshield fairly clear. That's what they were for - not as sunvisors.
TEN DAYS is maximum storage unless pre-arranged otherwise: We're not a dealer and I need the garage space for my wife's car.
