The paint is overall in very good condition, but it does have some minor scratches and some rub marks from the soft top. I had also started to work on the fit of the driver's door. No mechanical problem with it. I was just going to get the gap line perfect. That means I have done some sanding in the jam, but you can't see it when the door is closed.
This car is a great combination of safety features, performance and reliability. I bought it in 2001 to use primarily for road trips and the occasional open track event. I drove this car from Ventura CA to DVSF III in OH and home via the San Francisco Bay Area without any problems. It has taken me on many trips and never let me down. I do not want to sell this car, but being a responsible adult sometimes means doing things like this
The car was originally completed by Olthoff Racing
www.olthoff-racing.com The Superformance dealer in NC. It had a sb stroker that was replaced with its current engine at Olthoff Racing. I bought the car from its first owner in 2001.
It came with among other things:
Ford aluminum 460 block
Ford aluminum Cobra Jet heads
Tremec TKO 5 spd trans

It also came with all the usual Superformance bits like soft top, side curtains, floor mats etc. btw, I can vouch for the usefulness of the soft top and side curtains.
