Here is what the 2023 Registry has on the car.
Telstar has owned the car since 2012.
Previous owner before Telstar Larry Mallon had car restoration done . Not sure what work Telstar did.
Car at that time came from Michigan.

Someone may not be happy after buying the car I would assume.

People break the law everyday, you need a perpetrator, a victim and the willingness for someone to do something about it.

Sorry to demonstrate my simple Canadian naivety, but is that not simple out and out fraud?

Acrylic lacquer is what type of interior paint Ford used in the 60's, NOT acrylic enamel. It was a semi gloss formula. Lacquer paint is very easy to spray, but very difficult to find. Acrylic enamel shouldn't be to difficult to source from a paint supplier. Yes it will take a little longer to dry as it is an air dry paint. You can add an hardener to this paint that is a catalyst. This will make the paint cure faster, add gloss ( not what you want in the interior) and make the paint more durable. A full urethane paint has all the same benefits as a hardened enamel with even higher durability, but may be difficult to source in the correct semi gloss formula. Plus a urethane is probably going to cost you more $. With the acrylic lacquer you typical will need color and reducer. Acrylic enamel you will need color and reducer. If you want to catalyze it you would buy some generic hardener. You probably would need to buy some flatterer to get the correct gloss. With full urethane typically you would need to buy everything required all in the same paint brand system. Color, reducer ( it may be an activated reducer)and activator, usually at a higher cost. A word of warning, Catalyzed and Activated paints have stuff in them that is very bad for your health. The acceptable protection to spray these paints are a full paint suit with gloves, eye protection and a supplied fresh air system in a enclosed highly ventilated area. A cheep paint mask just will not cut it! Even with all that protection I usually felt crappy for a day or two after I sprayed an overall vehicle. I don't paint much anymore. 



You are correct about the interior. My brain fart was thinking of the exterior body paint.

I have State Farm Insurance for my 2008 Shelby GT with an agreed value. Some of the insurance is removed during the winter months. My agent was also able to offer me Hagerty through State Farm but the cost would have been more with little added benefit on my opinion. The prices are reasonable at the moment for your great choices of Ford powered cars. - Kevin
