Default F/S 64 Coupe L76 located in CT

1964 Daytona Blue Coupe, blue vinyl interior, tinted glass, L76 motor, tinted glass, N11 off road exhaust by Eric Gardner, very nice condition, lovingly and meticulously maintained older restoration. New wiring harness (dash and engine compartment in 2012) Car is very solid and runs beautifully. As you can see from the undercarriage pictures, this is not a trailer queen, but rather a car you can drive and enjoy and be proud of. As you can see from the photos car is wearing a period correct set of Cragar SS wheels. These were on the car when I bought it and they really grew on me and go great with the daytona blue and throaty exhaust note.Only other major non stock item is a Holley dual feed carb (model 4150 - list 4777c instead of the 2818 list). The car runs so well with it that I never felt the need to change it.

I have 2 written appraisals from previous owner stating a matching number drivetrain. I have included a picture of the engine pad, and it looks a bit messy to me - I make no claims as to it's authenticity as I am not an expert, but I like to disclose as much info as I have.

I also have a binder full of receipts as well as some photos from the restoration.

We are downsizing our home and sadly will not have room - it's time for someone else to love this car as I have. price: $49,500.

I have posted a few photos here for your perusal. Pm me with questions or I will answer them through this thread - I will check it at least once or twice daily. You may also reach me via cell at 203-209-4093 - please do not call after 9pm eastern time as I am an early riser for work. Car is located in Sandy Hook, CT.

Thanks for the compliment on the car. My grandmother passed at the age of 98 as well about 16 years ago. Bless them both.

Have not had the car to any shops - I have performed all the work mentioned in my ad myself in the 3 years I have owned it. My best guess is that the car was restored in the very late 80's and early 90's based on the paperwork I have.

Thanks for your interest - I'll be happy to answer any specific questions you might have. Paint is beautiful - not perfect, some small imperfections can only be seen on VERY close inspection - no mechanical issues - car runs beautifully - just came back from a 50 mile ride with the wife. I encourage you to see the car in person or have someone local inspect it for you.
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the reply Tim. Not my cup o tea. Good luck with your downsizing. We did it two years ago. Tough task. When your young you want big big bigger. As we enter the golden years we find smaller is better.
Cheers, Dennis

You're welcome Dennis, the older we get the more we understand and appreciate the phrase "less is more".
