The Mustang was imported locally in early 2015. Our client then purchased the Mustang in February 2015, from the original importer after the taxes had all been paid. He wanted to find a solid example that he could put his own stamp on. He had dreamt of owning an all black Mustang. So he set about restoring the wonderful example we see today. As shown in all the documentation and photography, this was a no expense sparred restoration. The photographic evidence shows a complete body strip down to asses the body and chassis quality. It was found to be extremely solid and an unmolested example. A few small areas needed some attention but the body can be seen in its bare metal respray showing how solid it is. He decided that a full bare-metal nut and bolt restoration was the only way. Every part went through the process of being inspected, assessed and then either renewed or refurbished. He wanted a black beauty which looked as if it had just rolled out of the showroom.
