About
Starting with a straight, rust-free example, I spoke with the guy that found this car. He bought it from the 2nd owner who bought it in 1968 with 3000 miles on it. He drove it until 1983 where it was stored inside until my friend got it in 2002 with 14000 actual mileage. He sold it to another fried and customer of ours who had Hatfield Restorations of Canton, TX do the restoration. They applied the beautiful and correct Coral and Shadow Grey (627) paint. Inside, the correct Grey Straw Pattern Cloth and Coral Vinyl (532) upholstery compliment the exterior colors perfectly. A Vintage Air A/C system will keep you comfortable as you listen to the original Wonderbar radio. The stellar Art Morrison chassis features a Sport IFS with a 1 1/8″ sway bar and power rack and pinion steering up front and a triangulated 4-bar suspension out back. Motivation for this masterpiece is supplied by a GM crate Ramjet 350 sporting a Vintage Air Front Runner system, beautiful headers, power steering, and a Performance Rod & Custom aluminum crossflow radiator with dual 13″ electric fans. Horsepower is routed through a Phoenix 700R4 AOD transmission with a 20″ external cooler, then back to a Ford 9″ rear end with 3.50 gears.
