I should have read the guidelines before I posted! Jumped the gun a bit but she has 104k miles, the new rebuild has only done about 400 miles so still needs running in. All new bearings, timing gear, chain, lifter, cams, valves, pumps, alternator etc etc. but done to stock spec to maintain originality. New items are pertronix ignitor / electronic ignition for added reliability, and a new air filter to help her breath a bit better (car comes with the originals), the gearbox is rebuilt and shifts really well. The paint is new - a course metallic maroon with a flat white roof. It was photo'd above on a photo shoot for an American BBQ restaurant (REDS) in Leeds. When it was parked up, a swarm of people stopped to take photos of her - I was quite stunned at the interest in the car, funnily it more so than the restaurant! It's a cool cruiser. Not as expensive as you think to run - insurance is about £120 per year, she is tax, seatbelt, and emissions exempt. You put £30 of fuel in and it lasts you weeks if you're only using her here and there. She needs new window felts - they are in a box in the trunk, not fitted yet, and some general love and good maintenance to keep her in as good shape.
She's a pleasure to own, but needs to go as I have a deposit on a 67 GTO as a new project. The garage will be open to sensible offers, and can offer part ex, finance, visa etc. - all the things I cant offer as a private seller.
