Points raised in Road and Track's professional inspection were dealt with in June 2025 including new nickel-steel fuel and brake lines, new engine mounts and realigned drivetrain, new tyres and a new battery

The interior has been refreshed with Scott Drake door panels, kick panels, armrests and glovebox, plus Mustang Silver 'Running Pony' carpets, a new instrument panel and a CJ Classics speedometer

Supplied with 41 invoices totalling £14,031 plus $3,322 in US-sourced parts, a line-by-line register of more than 200 entries, and Road and Track's inspection notes with photographs. A 1965 sales brochure, workshop manual and wiring diagrams are also included
