I am almost done with my latest (and last) Ford project.  This car is a real "P-Code" police car although it was first sold in West Virginia not in California.  I did a cosmetic restoration but most everything is original including the interior, wiring harness, and all of the rubber.  Much of the chrome was good although I did have the bumpers and grille done.  There was zero rust.  The mileage showed 29K when I bought the car and I believe it to be accurate in light of the condition of the car.   Although a              "P-Code" the car was originally painted light grey (maybe a chief's car) and it still had original paint when I got it.  A prior owner had upgraded to a 1960 292 which was rebuilt with a forges steel crank, aluminium pistons, ECZ-G heads with big valves ECZ-B Intake and 600 CFM holly carb.  I dressed the  engine up to look like the stock 256 including the large oil bath air cleaner.  I retroed the car back to a 6 volt system.  The car has all of the period correct CHP police equipment.  I did my first local show with the car and had a lot of fun showing it.  The little kids seemed to like it the most!
