The engine appears to be original to the car as evidenced by the vin stamp on the head and the build date stamped in the block. The block stamp reads 9E19 (May 19,1969) which corresponds to the car's build date of June 16,1969. The engine has been rebuilt and all accessory items such as the starter, alternator and power steering pump are new. The engine is equipped with a period correct Holley 4150 carburetor with manual choke and the original cast iron intake manifold. Original cast iron exhaust manifolds connect to a new correct style exhaust system with the transverse muffler. The engine bay is completely refurbished with new hardware, starter solenoid and voltage regulator, radiator, etc.
The transmission is the correct big spline close ratio 4 speed toploader. The tag reads RUG AE2 018551 and the case is stamped with the car's vin. The transmission was refinished and reassembled with new seals and gaskets then filled with fresh lubricant. It is equipped with the original Ford shifter.
The rear end is the original 9 inch housing with the 31 spline nodular center section and staggered shocks. The rear was upgraded to a traction lok by a previous owner and is the correct N case nodular unit with the 3.50 ratio. The rear has been blasted and refinished then reassembled with new seals and gaskets.
The brake system has been refurbished with a new master cylinder and booster, new front calipers and rear cylinders, and new hoses and steel lines. The power steering system has a new pump, control valve and cylinder and new hoses. I recently noticed some power steering fluid dripping around the area where the small hoses attach to the control valve. This would need to be addressed by the new owner as time permits.
The body appears to have been repainted several years ago and has a smooth finish with a high gloss. It is finished in the correct color code F Gulfstream Aqua with gold stripes. Exterior chrome and stainless are in good presentable condition. Glass is original except for the windshield which was replaced with a new Carlite tinted unit. There are a few paint chips from normal use which have been touched up. All exterior lighting is in working order with the exception of the sequential turn signals. These were not working properly so I removed the sequencer unit and made a jumper to bypass it. The turn signals, brake lights, etc. work fine but do not sequence. The sequencer box is in the trunk if someone wants to repair or replace it. The convertible top appears to have been replaced at some point and was changed from the original black color to white which beautifully accents the aqua paint. The top is in nice presentable condition with a bit of patina. There is a small area that appears to be rodent damage near the rear window which is visible in the photos. The top works properly and cycles up and down with no issues.
