Lot #992.1 - This Ford’s restoration began with its original sheet metal being stripped bare, and the car mounted to a large rotisserie and thoroughly worked over the course of three years. Once the sheet metal was aligned, Chestnut Metallic lacquer was fashioned around tinted glass, a power-operated roof and original trim that has been stripped, polished and anodized. This convertible is motivated by a 406/405hp V8 Ford big-bore engine pairing a correct C3AE-6015-V casting number with correct Tri-Power induction, sending power through a correct BorgWarner T10 4-speed manual transmission and 9” Ford axle built with correct 3.50 gears. Included in this sale is a photo album of the restoration.
