The underside has been painted.The warranty number reveals that the car was built at the Metuchen, New Jersey, assembly plant with a 289ci V8 topped with a two-barrel carburetor. This is a beautiful Mustang and the paint really looks great. It runs well. I was not happy with the front end. it is not bad but it's now being rebuilt. That will make it a really nice car to drive. We believe that at sometime in it's life, it was damaged in both the front and rear, and it looks like they did a very good job of restoring it.
