Mulsanne Blue 71 454 with 4speed PS
Bought it from the 2nd owner who restored it to its original color and changed interiour from dank Blue to black leather in your Country. First owner until 2013

He did an excellent job and I love to drive my Beauty with just over 81,000 Miles




Now in Germany

All original except an aluminum radiator (I have the original) I also have the duel snorkel air cleaner. also the internals have been beefed up a bit. Compression set to 9.5:1 engine stroked to a 496ci steel crank with comp cams solid roller lifters for reliability and easy maintenance. It idles and runs great. I have done everything on this car.....

I wire brushed and clear coated the beautiful brass Harrison radiator expansion tank for big blocks. I think these are beautiful original units and it looks great and will stay that way.

New fuel tank (Yup I have the old one and whats left of the tank sticker. New rubber guard and sending unit. You can actually see the fuel filter "sock" in the bottom. How many times do you guys get to see this? I purchased the correctly stamped tank which is an exact reproduction of the original!
