Geraldine's Recent Restoration Bio

SPECIFICS ON "GERALDINE" 

A "PAINT DELETE" CAR!
(CHECK THE EXTERIOR PAINT #)
(Special Paint Ford # Unknown!)
(Marti & Ford Motor Company CONFIRMED!)

New and or NOS OEM parts were used when and where possible in this recent restoration.

This is perhaps the rarest find you will ever come across. A 1969 MACH ONE
428-Cobrajet "R" code Car that came with a Special "Paint Ford # Unknown"
Option from Ford Motor Company. This is the first 1969 Big Block MACH
that I have seen with this particular option along with all of the other
features. This has been Verified and Confirmed of course, by the Marti & Ford
Motor Company. (Note the Marti Report in Picture Listing above...) A True, Rare Breed...
