I can imagine it’s harder for the builder than the ‘next’ owner.
The builder gets to wear the badge of honor, though.
The Man and his friend that built this ‘47 were nothing short of amazing and the car is a testament to their abilities.
Here they are being held captive until I find the water leak. Losing 2.5 gpm, I found it after 7 holes.
Sweet truck
glad to see im not the only one who steals the table umbrella to work
Damn I love your car Shun!
Thank you!
Bedded down for winter with four of his siblings. However, as soon as the holidays are over, it will move into the working area of the shop and get a top to bottom, end to end, inside and out detail job. We’ve been invited to display in an invitation-only display at the indoor ISCA show here in Cleveland, the last weekend in March. This thing racked up a ton of miles this season in all kinds of weather. So it will need some work.
Gorgeous! Is that the factory color?
Yes it is they used same paint code as 1970 comp green but added metalic in 71 and thatmade the color much diffrent. This was matched 100% with the original paint during restoration.
SWEET looking phatcat 
Finally have a “rust free” 69 convertible again. 390 4 speed, black / black XR7. Almost ready to go in for paint.
I found this one on FB Marketplace early December last year and brought it home. I had a 67 standard in high school (1980) with a 3 speed on the floor and no power anything, loved that car!
Great combination for a fun driver.
Had nearly the same: 68 std 3spd no options save for dealer air. Finding orange paint under the carpet was a treat. Wish I’d kept it
So Greeny originally went to live in Utah with styled steel wheels and Goodrich Silvertown radial whitewalls! Wide oval makes you think Firestone, but those were not radials and we heard from Kevin Marti that Ford used the term for other 70 series tires too. I like to see cars wearing all the original colors like yours - but that’s just me. $5k was a pretty big chunk of change for a car back in 1969!
And even if it didn’t slide off the road, it would have been rusted through after 5 winters in northern Ohio. It’s good that it’s wintering inside at the spa!
