Having been retired now for three weeks I thought it was time to treat myself to a retirement present.

Very nice. Have a read about reusable edelbrock filters dropping crumbly filter foam into the carbs. Happened mine so went back to stock paper.

Enjoy retirement!

Awesome, guessing by size and no. HT leads it a proper v8! More details needed

Hope retirement gives you adequate fuel tokens!

Love to see more pics and of the interior.

Rented a 70/71 5.0 convertible in LA back in 1992.

Rented a '96 in 1996.

Owned a 2016 GT when they first arrived in the UK.

Would love a 60s classic biggrin

Enjoy your retirement smile

Thanks, I’ll have a read.

I have no clue about these cars really other than I have always loved the look of them and the noise.

All I know about this one is it spent a long time on Majorca, had a total restoration and then was in Motorworld in Palma before coming to Germany. I’ve ordered a Marti report to try and glean a little history on it.

A few little jobs need doing and I should have it in a few weeks.

Which ones do you mean because as far as I can see they’re all paper filters on the engine?
