History
I bought this car from a friend who had it sitting in his shed for close to 10 years parked up. The engine was in a thousand pieces in the boot as it was torn down for a freshen up and cam upgrade and that's as far as he got.
The car itself was originally bought new at Muir Ford in Manjimup WA.
After spending several years in Western Australia It moved over to Queensland for a few years and was then shipped over to New Zealand where it lived for several years and this is where it had a full custom paint job motor and gearbox upgrade. It came back across the ditch and eventually found its way back to Perth.
My friend had bought the car pretty well as it looks today.
He enjoyed the car for a few years before he parked it up for the engine mods.
The car came with a file full of receipts from most of the work carried out dating back to 1990 including the full restoration which took place in New Zealand.
After I purchased the car I had the engine checked over buy the guys at Applied Automotive in Maddington and rebuilt the Cleveland back to all its Glory and had the car back on the road 4 months after buying it.
A credit to my friend Glenn as he kept it licensed and insured for all those years sitting in his shed.
The car goes well and I have been enjoying it ever since getting it back on the road.
