Equipment
One of those treasured stories, confirmed with paperwork, ordered new from Vinton, Iowa, in addition to the 389 360hp tri power and four speed, he also ordered the Saf T Track rear axle, handling and ride package, seat belts, gauges with tachometer as well as Rally Wheels and Soft Ray tinted glass. Still riding on it original Uni Royal red line tires everything on this car was from the factory with the exception of the battery, which was replaced with a reproduction of the original. Car did exhibit several minor flaws in the paint which occurred during production, nothing on the inside had been changed, under the hood showed a patina of age and a couple of stickers looked to have been replaced, all hoses, bolts, gaskets and proper overspray was still retained, even the 7 blade special fan.
Market commentary
While the seller would have liked to have had a bit more money in his pocket, the price paid was right in todays market and that the buyer, if he is willing to wait a few years, is sure to see this particular car appreciate in value ahead of the curve based on its documented history, low miles and well preserved condition.
