The car received a new wiring harness with new or rebuilt electrical items.Mechanically, the car's front suspension and rear IRS unit were completely rebuilt with all new parts along with a new braking system with upgraded Wilwood 4-pot front calipers (a nice welcome for the 3.8 braking system). The car's matching numbers engine was completely disassembled, machined, thoroughly cleaned and rebuilt with all new parts. The engines ancillaries were completely rebuilt. The car's fuel system was rebuilt including it's carburetor set, new fuel lines, and a new submersible pump. The car's original matching numbers Moss gearbox was removed and saved with the car, and a new updated 5-speed gearbox with new clutch was installed. The car received a new Bell stainless system throughout with new hangers. Engine bay detailing is excellent and still looks quite fresh and original, not overdone.The car's interior was 100% completely renewed utilizing a quality BAS custom-made kit in biscuit leather with matching Wilton wool carpeting, along with a new dash top pad, door fuzzies, door seals, matching biscuit seat belt set, modern sound system. The car's signature aluminum 3-piece center console kit was renewed, along with it's restored correct early original steering wheel.Overall, an extremely nice, well restored early E-type Coupe with matching numbers in a superb color scheme. This car includes it's JDIHT certificate and has been nicely sorted with only 1800 test miles since it's restoration.
