This is a nice 68 Coupe.  Originally sent to the Oklahoma DSO, this car spent the majority of its life in California and really shows it. The structure of the car is very solid, and is almost all original, including the original battery apron!

This car has its original 289 2-v engine and its original C-4 Automatic transmission.  The engine has new gaskets as part of the detailing but otherwise has not been rebuilt.  The transmission has been rebuilt with approximately 15 miles on  the rebuild.

Originally a Highland Green exterior, it is currently painted in Candy Apple Red.  The paint is in marginally acceptable condition for a daily driver.  It really needs repainted.  However, due to how nice this car is, I have been hesitant to paint it since the new owner may want to restore it to its original color, or the new owner may want to paint it Red again, or any other color.  

Interior is standard black and has been restored to like new condition.  Interior has an aftermarket Mustang radio with dual dash sterio speakers.

Factory power steering is installed.

The car has 4 wheel drum brakes which have been recently rebuilt by previous owner.

The car was originally single exhaust, but has a dual exhaust system installed at this time.

Please read through the links to the left for the full story on this cars recent history, the damage, and the repairs that were completed it on it to bring it back to a drivable condition.

Car has a current VA state inspection and is road worthy in its current condition.
