Description Sound 289 V8 fitted with a 302 Windsor; Hurst shifter; rocking and rolling.....
Imported from the US in 2017, this 1968 hard top was built in San Jose, California with the optional 289 V8.
It has been used and enjoyed by the vendor's late husband who acquired it as its second UK owner in 2019, although we have no documention to list any jobs that he undertook.
The car appears to have been fitted with a 302 Windsor engine at some time and a hurst shifter for the auto box.
The interior is trimmed in leather and the very comfortable front seats are from a later car - an MX5 or similar but look in keeping with the rest.
The paintwork is showing signs of microblistering and we don't think it has seen much use of late.
It passed an MOT in 2017 to get it registered with quite a list of advisories, which appear to have been sorted for its most recent test a year later which showed no advisories - this expired in 2019 but it is of course, tax, MOT and Ulez exempt....
