Description

This car, first registered in 1966 and sold in Sweden, has had a total of 7 owners. From 1994 to 2022, it was scarcely driven, mostly kept in storage. According to the owner's history, it's claimed to have only covered 124,337 km, a figure that, while unverifiable, seems plausible given the original and impeccably maintained interior. The current owner, a profound Ford enthusiast with a deep passion for fixing and restoring them, boasts an extensive knowledge and network, ensuring no shortcuts were taken in its upkeep, contributing to its excellent condition. Acquired from our auction in 2022, he has devoted the past two years to meticulously renovating the engine, overhauling the gearbox, refreshing the front suspension, and updating the brake system. Now, the car runs smoothly, with the 2.0 V6 engine delivering substantial power and a delightful rumble under the bonnet, complemented by a super sharp and precise gearbox.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine fires up immediately and runs extremely smoothly, while the gearbox pairs wonderfully with a responsive clutch and impressive brakes. Technically, I foresee no need for repairs in the coming years, only routine maintenance. Additionally, it's permanently exempt from inspections.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior remains completely original and is in near-perfect condition, given its age. There are no notable damages, just a few minor marks on the driver's door card and the center console armrest and probably has newer carpets. The design boasts a lot of American-inspired styling, making it a true pleasure to sit in and drive.

  • Exterior condition:

    Surprisingly, this car has remained free from rust, a fact that becomes particularly impressive upon inspecting its underside—solid, with no signs of rust repairs or damage. The bodywork matches this solid condition. The paintwork, appearing original, holds a good finish that could be even further enhanced with a simple polish if desired. Some surface rust is present on the lower front valance, as detailed in pictures, alongside a few small, minor blisters and marks on the paintwork. There's also a small dent in the driver's door, though it's hardly noticeable. The chromework is clean and bright, with minor oxidation, and the passenger side mirror is missing.

  • General condition:

    Purchasing this car will undoubtedly make you very popular among car enthusiasts at shows, given its rarity and the sheer joy it offers when driven. It's the perfect car for anyone seeking trouble-free motoring and many enjoyable years ahead.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
