Meticulously restored, this beast is a testament to dedication and craftsmanship, telling a story in every detail.
The exterior stripped down to its essence and rejuvenated in its original color, is a sight to behold. The metal flake dances uniformly, free from rust, damage, or cracking, and the clear coat reflects a glass-like sheen.
The iconic blackout hood treatment and fiery red Mach 1 decal stripes proudly adorn it, complemented by hood pins, racing mirrors, rear window louvers, and a trunk spoiler. Chrome and trim sparkle anew and even the windshield has been replaced.
Reproduction Firestone Wide Oval tires on 14-inch chrome Mustang wheels add a touch of nostalgia, completing the ensemble.
Step inside, and the deluxe interior welcomes you with open arms. Dynamat sound deadener under the carpet ensures a serene ride.
