"After significant investment in 2019, including engine, interior, and bodywork repairs, this car now runs and drives smoothly in the motor, brakes, and gearbox. While it has had limited use in the past two years, a small review and tune-up would be advisable."

Description

The first owner purchased it new and mainly used it for trips to their country house in Öland and Västervik, avoiding winter driving. In the early 2000s, the owner passed away, and the car was inherited by their son in 2004. However, it saw limited use until it was eventually sold in 2017 to a new owner in Gothenburg.

The new owner, a group of talented car enthusiasts called "Bridge Valley Customs," decided to renovate the car and transform it into a demo vehicle to promote "Focal Car Music Systems" at the prestigious Elmia custom car show in 2018. The rebuild was sponsored, but the total cost amounted to approximately 100,000 SEK.

While the car was in good condition, some bodywork repairs were required for the lower wheel arches and wing edges. The engine underwent a thorough review, with worn parts replaced, and improvements were made to the clutch, brakes, electrics, radiator, ignition, and other components to ensure optimal operation. A full custom interior was installed, complete with a Focal stereo system, LED lights, and the paintwork received special treatment, with the surface sanded to bare metal to achieve a desirable patina look, followed by multiple coats of clear paint for protection and shine.

The car received numerous awards, further highlighting its exceptional quality. In 2021, it was acquired by its current owner, who added it to their esteemed collection.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As previously stated, the car would benefit from a small review and service due to its limited use over the past two years. It is worth noting that the car is exempt from inspection/MOT requirements for its lifetime. Additionally, it features attractive wheels and tires, along with a remarkable sound system

  • Interior condition:

    The entire interior, including the boot, has been meticulously custom rebuilt and remains in top condition. The seats, carpets, dashboard, and headliner have all been renovated to a high standard. LED lights have been added to accentuate the interior and showcase the stereo system. The result is an interior that exudes both style and functionality.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork of this car is remarkably free from rust, dents, and damages. It boasts a unique custom patina paintwork that adds a distinct and cool appearance. Should the new owner prefer, the option to repaint the car is available, given the overall excellent condition it is currently in.

  • General condition:

    You wll defiantly have one of the coolest looking Ford cars at the next car show, i would keep it as is and just enjoy it.
