its true it did have a rear end smash but fords wanted to save it and had it fully redone, i have seen the pics of the damage and the work they did to rebuild it and it is 100% top work by fords , the guy in question is in fact 72 years old and has had this from new and if he ever sells it he told me that hendy fords actually want it back, as for the cosworth stripe on it that is something he had done and used to have done to his other cars back in the day and when you see it in person i think its actually not that bad..........
