Re: [GFS] Sold It!

ART

Thank you for the kind words!!!

 

She is in good hands...but it will be years before she is ready for showing.

This will be a slow,, meticulous ,careful, AND FINAL effort on my part.

I have found her to be a near perfect example on how she came out of the factory--down to tiny clips,,clamps,,looms,,brackets,, that just do not appear on many other examples.

 

NOTE--The coil was incorrect also!

 

But both the correct coil and fuel pump are ready to go on!!,( probably 2-3 years down the road)

 

The 58 FURY with GOLDEN COMMANDO was and IS my favorite of all time!!

I saw a new one in a showroom when I was 10.

I WAS FOREVER IMPRESSED.

 

You are welcome to visit her as she stays under 'observation' ,, probably until spring
