Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1961 Ford Consul is a unique, restored 2-door convertible featuring a striking red exterior with whitewall tires and a cream leather interior. The restoration was a "labour of love," incorporating modern touches like a stereo system, and all chrome has been recently re-chromed.
Condition
8
The car has undergone a beautiful, unique restoration and has been finished with an elegant convertible hood and stylish cream leather interior. The chrome has been re-chromed, indicating a high level of care. While it has been restored, the mention of a "labour of love combining classic with modern" and the presence of a "great stereo system" suggest it's not in factory-original condition, hence an 'Excellent' rating rather than 'Pristine'. No specific condition issues or required reconditioning are mentioned.
