Details from the previous owner:
-engine rebuilt, bored +20
-APT VP11 cam
-Chilled iron lifters
-King tri-metal rod and main bearings
-engine balanced
-new dual timing gear set with adjustable gear
-head rebuilt with flowed SS valves and bronze guides and port & polish by Tom Bedenbough in Tn.
-New oil pump and water pump and all rubber at time of rebuild
-engine was primed with epoxy primer, then painted black with 2 part paint and then clearcoated.
-new gas tank
-new hydraulics all around
-OD trans
-New interior. Floors cleaned and coated with POR15 and insulation added on top. Carpets were imported from England and are high quality with jute backing
-new seatbelts
-engine bay was cleaned and repainted
-front suspension was removed, all rubber replaced, repainted with 2 part black and reinstalled
-SS Falcon big bore exhaust system
-Lots of spare parts both new and used go with the car including original 18GK block, two BGT doors with glass, rear axle.
-have Heritage certificate documenting it's birth. Also have the original warranty card that came with the car when it was purchased new in Washington state. I am the fourth owner. Car was purchased by a gent for his wife, who did not like to drive the car so it sat for years in an aircraft hanger in Washington. Second owner bought it, brought it down to Beaumont TX, sold it to the third owner, whose wife drove it. She wanted a bigger SUV and sold it to me somewhere around 2000. Car had 33,000 miles when I bought it. Car flooded in 2001 from TS Juan. After that I gutted the car and started the rebuild. Been inside ever since. New motor has less than 100 miles on it. Car was my pride and joy and will only be sold to someone who I know will provide a good home without butchering the car. The car is a survivor.
After bringing it home on 1/19/19 all it took to get it running was a new battery and freeing up the seized clutch master and slave. Started right up and ran great after not being started for 10 years.
