The initial transfer

During the sons college years, he worked on the car with his friends modifying whatever he could afford or had the knowledge of. Later on the car's 289ci engine, transmission and rear end was sent to a local shop in LA California where it was brought back to life but had some highly sought after upgrades. At this time, the engine received an overhaul, transmission received similar work with upgraded ship kids etc. and the rear end was updated as well with some new 3.55 gears for the Santa Monica Strip.

The car spent many years driving around California yet again, even with it's faded Candy Apply Red paintjob from the Ford dealer, but the son was now much older and started a family of his own.
