I am a vehicle appraiser who has just completed an
evaluation of a
replica vehicle that I believe is a Glassic/Replicar Roadster with
Rumble
Seat. I was engaged to complete this assignment for the estate of
the owner, Mr. William G. King of 21820 Clarksburg Road, Boyds,
Maryland.
His widow has given me permission to contact you with this information
with the hope that you may be able to include this info on your registry
with the notation that the vehicle is now for sale.
I was not able to locate a VIN plate on the car but it is titled in
Maryland as a 1979 Ford Convertible with a VIN assigned by the MVA. Mr.
King was the second owner of the car and he purchased it in 1996. It
was
originally sold by Rosenthal Ford in Montgomery County Maryland. The
car is a Roadster with Rumble Seat in what I
consider to be Excellent condition. It has the 302 Ford V8, a custom
dark red paint job, custom white convertible top with a large round
clear
vinyl rear window, very nicely done black vinyl roll and pleat seats and
carpeting, and 14" 4 lug American Racing alloy wheels and nearly new
tires. It has the split hood and is very clean inside and out. The
only
issues I noted were the chrome shows some pitting, and the engine
compartment needs to be detailed. Currently, the odometer shows 16,875
miles -- Mr. King put less than 4,000 miles on the car in the 11 years
he
owned it.
Inquiries about the vehicle can be directed to Mrs. Janet King at the
above address, phone # 301-528-6049
There was no VIN tag on the door jamb as the web site
showed. Apparently, when the car was repainted, the tag was removed
thus the need for an assigned MVA VIN number. There is now a metal
plate
issued by the Maryland MVA with engraved numbers riveted to the rear
door
jamb on the driver's door. I also looked under the front frame rails
but
could find no raised letters. There was the faint outline of the
characters #28 (making it most likely # 1328 or
1428 - the Annexmaster)
scratched into the underside of the hood as shown on the
web site. The car is titled in Maryland as a 1979 Ford Convertible
The asking price is going to be around $20,000.00 and interested
parties
can contact
