Up for auction is a true76K original miles, matching numbers J code 4 speed deluxe car that was special ordered.

This car was a one owner car until 2000 when the owner passed away and the car went to a distant cousin who owned it until 2011. The car was a West coast car and was in California until 2014 when I purchased it.
I purchased this car to spend time with my son and introduce him to classic cars. He is leaving for Air Force flight school and it's time to allow someone else to enjoy this classic.
I have lots of receipts and paperwork some of which supports the low mileage. I can provide some pics the VINs stamped into the block, transmission case, frame, dash.. This car is rust free and looks like all the panels are original with only small section of sheet metal replacement done in the engine compartment years ago (I'm repeating what the previous owner told me, but I could not locate it) . I believe it has only had one repaint and it is currently in matte black right now.
I know what I have and if you are into these cars you do to. To have this car with the paperwork and such is truly rare.
Before I purchased the car in 2014 there were some really nice updates:The entire front suspension was rebuilt with grab a trak from mustang plus. An MSD ignition was added, long tub headers, and full flowmaster exhaust.
