This car, in our opinion, is one of the cleanest and thoughtfully put together cars we have ever seen. He is an awesome car!  He received a Ford V6 from a Capri in 1977, according to the previous owner, and an old maintanence book we found in the car. The previous owner was obviously very meticulous in the maintainence as there are many handwritten entries for every service done since the early 70's. A ton of time, money, and effort went into the creation of this great car!

The Ford V6 installation was done very professionally, and is mated to the original gearbox and rear end. He runs very smoothly with much better performance than the stock motor. Fuel delivery is provided by a Holly 2 bbl carburetor. The engine compartment is very tidy. He's got brand new tires mounted on period American Racing mag wheels.

The paint was done a number of years ago and is holding up extremely well. There are a few small chips, and one touch up on top of the right front wing. There is a small "blob" about 4 mm at the bottom of the right wing. A body shop confirmed it is only that and nothing else. Unless you are looking for concourse I would not think of a respray. The gloss is very good. There is no evidence of rust anywhere, and his body is very straight.

The bright work is in excellent condition and it looks as though most of it including the bumpers were re chromed very nicely in the past.

Other items carried out previously:

V 6 conversion - there are no leaks from the motor, and it has great oil pressure and compression. The gearbox, brakes, and clutch also perform beautifully.
Oversized radiator - runs at 180 degrees all day long
GT type interior - rear GT panels as well as a "conversion kit" that was evidently available a long time ago was installed to create a very clean GT type car (no folding soft top)
Factory hard top - in excellent original condition. There is some spidering at the rear window hinge attachments but the Perspex itself is clear with good visibility. May want to replace the aged windscreen moulding at the front. 
Seats completely reupholstered - entire interior is beautiful.
Complete re- wiring of the car with electrics working beautifully
All new VDO gauges including GPS speedometer (speedo was installed at about the 77,000 mile mark on the original speedo. The new unit now shows just over 400 miles)
New optima Red Top battery
Replacement of many front suspension parts - drives solid and tight!
Moto Lita steering wheel
Front end components have been changed
So there you have it. A fully done V6 Alpine ready to turn the key, drive, and enjoy. He comes currently registered with a clear California title. 
Thanks for looking!
