AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

General Information

The vehicle originates from the United States and has a partially known history. The registration document of the last American owner is available, along with an official certificate from the B.M.H.T. The restoration, carried out between 2013 and 2019, was thorough and covered the chassis, mechanics, bodywork, and interior.

Bodywork and Painting

The bodywork benefited from extensive preparation and protection work. A completely new two-tone paint job was applied after several protective layers.
To prevent any corrosion transmission between the materials, anti-rust protection was inserted between the front and rear wings made of aluminum and the central part made of steel.
The front and rear lights have been restored or replaced. Today, the overall appearance is very well-maintained, with a clean, healthy, and durable finish.

Technique

The chassis has been completely refurbished and protected with an epoxy paint.
The engine has been completely overhauled: pistons, rings, crankshaft balancing, reconditioned cylinder head, new valves, etc.
The two SU HD8 carburetors have been completely disassembled, restored, and fitted with new parts.
The gearbox has been overhauled, the radiator is new, and the tank has been replaced with an aluminum model.
The front and rear brakes have been restored, and the rear suspension blades replaced.

Several discreet but effective improvements have been added: Bilstein suspension (front/rear), electronic ignition, additional electric fan Revotec, and brake servo.
The vehicle is presented in an exceptional mechanical condition, reliable and ready to drive.

Interior

The interior has been completely renovated. The dashboard covering, seats, door panels, and the entire rear section are new.
The carpets have also been replaced.
The setting offers a fresh, clean, and elegant atmosphere, corresponding to a complete, high-quality renovation.

Documents

The vehicle is provided with:
the B.M.H.T. certificate
- the registration document of the last American owner.
as well as the elements confirming the consistency of its history and restoration.

Kidnapping

Assistance can be provided to organize transportation in France and across Europe. There is a possibility of connecting with specialized transporters.

OTHER INFORMATION

This complete restoration, carried out over several years, combines respect for authenticity with judicious technical improvements. It presents a unique opportunity for a collector seeking a thoroughly restored, reliable, refined example that is ready to be appreciated immediately.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
