20,000 miles (Oct 2001)
Jim Jones advised the registry that he purchased Fed 046. The car is currently in Maryland and he is about to start working on getting it running. The car has just over 20K miles and is in good shape. It has been off the road since 2005 so he will need to address mechanics first. He writes that he is very excited and realizes that the car needs to be preserved and used.
Al Zelt bought this car on August 15, 2001. At that time he wrote:

| The car is running great and now has 17,000 miles. Everything is in |
| working order and after driving it anything else feels like a kiddy car. I |
| have done some work on it to ensure everything is correct including the |
| following. New (old stock) radiator, hoses (coolant, vacuum and gas), I |
| rebuilt the water pump and moved the pulley so one belt runs both |
| alternator and water pump, R&R cam housings and adjust valves, New plugs |
| and wires, New radio and speakers, adjust heater /AC controls, a few new |
| switches, rebuild clutch cylinder, clean and polish and Remove mouse nests |
| from years of storage. Please find attached some pictures to use as you |
| see fit. I can not believe how well the car handles and responds. In |
| addition the ride is surprisingly comfortable. Regards, Al Zelt |
