However, ver the course of the last three years it has received a $40,000 rebuild/refresh with preservation and period-correctness in mind. A few liberties were taken with respect to drive ability - factory Kelsey-Hayes disk brakes were added, or instance - but not many.The car presents itself very well, nd with its documentation, lows minds whenever shown - though cosmetically, he car remains unchanged with respect to the way it looked as it was last raced. The car still wears most of its mid-70's paint, nd is a spectacular example of an original, s-raced M-code... chips, ents, ipples, odifications... warts and all.Here are some details regarding what has been done to the car:Engine: 100% fresh 1969 440 w/ dated HP block, 06 heads with hardened seats, anley valves, RW pistons, V oil pump.

The wheel wells had been widened (not tubbed, ut stretched) by the original owner.. This work was undone - the wheel houses sliced and returned to stock width.
