The car received one repaint prior to 1988 and sat in Demming New Mexico till 2013 when I purchased.The goal of project was to keep the body and its patina while restoring the rest of the car making it fun and reliable to drive.

The cars interior, engine, transmission, and rear end were all restored/rebuilt. Remaining suspension, bushings, bearings, springs, gas tank, exhaust were all replaced. There were some sheetmetal patches installed in both lower rear quarters. Sand had built up over time and caused some holes to form. Doors, fenders, hood, and trunk were not touched.

Car received new disc brakes up front and new drums, shoes, and lines to the rear. Power brake unit was installed. Used 15x7 rims were sourced and restored back to the cars original color. Larger than stock F60-15s were installed. Great detail was taken to use original parts including fastners. The original vin tag on the dash was missing when I purchased and the one you see is a replacement tag. All original stamps on the core support and trunk gutter were found and verified to be untouched original.

Since being restored the car has had just under 4k miles put on the engine. Everything is nice and broken in. Car runs and drives very nice. Its one of the more enjoyable cars I have driven because with the body not being show perfect you don't worry about driving. If you have specific questions please ask.
