"In good working condition with a nice body that has never been stored."

Description

Model year 1961, and the first owner kept the car until the 1980s. Then there were two owners until 1995 when the first owner repurchased the car. During the interim period, it was repainted and partially renovated. Here, some simple shortcuts were made with wiring for speakers and the like, which were secured with duct tape. Probably, the door sills were adorned with a strip of tape on this occasion as well. From 1995 onwards, the car was not used very much and was sold to the current owner in 2023.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily and runs very smoothly, quietly, and effortlessly. With a correctly tuned exhaust system that was originally installed on these cars, there isn't much noise around or inside the car - just like it was in 1961.

  • Interior condition:

    In relatively good and well-maintained condition, the fabric surfaces on the front seats have become slightly threadbare, while the vinyl is in almost new condition. It has had seat covers, so the fabric's sheen remains. The rear seat is intact with some stains. There is a newer carpet on the floor, with the original floor mat underneath showing some cracks and becoming brittle with age. Already in the sixties, color-matching seat belts from the Ford Mustang were installed in the car.

  • Exterior condition:

    Light gray in color and repainted in the original shade over 35 years ago. The paint job has held up well without bubbles or defects. Some wear and stone chips are present. The tailgate has received some touch-ups at some point, but this has been addressed after the photography. The paint in the luggage compartment is fine, and the engine compartment has also been touched up. However, there has not been as much attention to detail, and some paint splatters and overspray are visible on various parts. Very nice in terms of gloss and hubcaps. The fuel cap is not original. It has been heavily rust-proofed in the underbody and doors over the years.

  • General condition:

    A car that has been well taken care of and never really undergone renovation. It runs as smoothly as can be expected of an original car of this type.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • 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.
