"Vote for Geraldine!"
VOTE FOR GERALDINE!!!
Hello everyone! First of all I want to thank David, Steve and all of Stangplanet.com's staff for not only allowing us to participate in this Ultimate Mustang Challenge event, but too for the great article on "Geraldine." Wow! That was great! And also a special thanks for pasting "Geraldine" onto the Web Site's Home Page. You can see her in the upper right hand corner of this page and other often. If you don't see her now, simply refresh this page and keep looking, as she cycles through very often... She is of course, the Red 1969 Mac One...
Now then, to the business. I wanted to ask for you to vote for "Gerladine" in StangPlanet's First Ultimate Mustang Challange! Just below I will list a few things about her that you might wish to consider when casting your votes. I promise, she will make you proud that you voted for her. So click on over and be heard!
Gerladine is a True, "PAINT DELETE" CAR!
(CHECK THE EXTERIOR PAINT # in the Marti. )
(Special Paint Ford # Unknown!)
(Marti & Ford Motor Company CONFIRMED!)
New And or NOS OEM parts were used when and where possible in this Recent Restoration.
"Geraldine" is perhaps the rarest find you will ever come across. A 1969 MACH ONE 428-Cobrajet "R" code Car that came with a Special "Paint Ford # Unknown" Option from Ford Motor Company. This is the first 1969 Big Block MACH that I have seen with this particular option. Again, this has been Verified and Confirmed
of course, by the Marti & Ford Motor Company. (Note the Marti Report Picture in the Featured Rides section, James Chrissy & Geraldine...) A True, Rare Breed...
I will list as much about this car as I can think of. However if you have any further questions simply send me an email and I will answer you ASAP. Thanks...

References:
I would like to give you a few References that you could Pursue to make you feel More Comfortable in voting for Geraldine. Any of these businesses could give you Any Confirmation that you might would like to know about Me and or the Car. You may wish to look these numbers up via yellow pages for Authenticity and Accuracy...
(1) First Bank of Dillon (206 East Monroe Street 843-841-9955) Bank President - Robert Johnson
(2) Moore's Body Shop (Mount Calvary Community 843-774-5480) Owner - Buddy Moore
(3) Miller's Automotive (Mount Calvary Community 843-774-1990) Owner - Wayne Miller
"Robert Johnson"
Robert is my Banker and knows both Me and the Car, Very Well. This is who handles all of my Financial Business...
"Buddy Moore"
Buddy is the owner of the business who I allowed to Spray the Car. He has been in business for 42-years and is thought of in the Carolina's as simply the Best! (You can research this by calling other area businesses)
"Wayne Miller"
Wayne is the Engine Builder that I allowed to go through the Motor. Did I Mention that the Car has less than 500-Miles on it since the Build... He brought the engine back to its original standard. I would simply not allow anything other than factory standard to go back into the motor, he was Very Extensive. He replaced Everything throughout the build as if it was his very own... He has a Satisfaction Guarantee on everything that he builds and gave to me a Full 1-year deal on everything! Did I mention he also builds motors for area Drag Strips and Raceways. I would let no one but Wayne do my work, period....
Closing:
I have tried my best to list everyting that I could think of. However, I do know that I am forgetting a lot. It is now 4:18am Eastern and my mind has gone about blank. If you need to know anyting further simply email or call me.
Do know that Every piece we've touched on this car has been Done Right! Before we sprayed the car, Every Part was Disassembled, Painted, and Then put back together. Meaning, if for any reason you needed to remove a part, paint wouldn't be pulled off with it from another section causing you to have to re-paint another section... Research how many others Classic Cars that have been painted have been done that way. We also removed all of the rubber seals & Weather Striping beofre we painted the car. We did used Stainless however where possible when putting the car back together. But we did this to help prevent any possible future surface rust issues in those areas. We didn't Re-use any of the old Seals or old Weather Stripping. Everything back together, "Brand New!"
This is a Top Line, Flawless vehicle that is is Pristine Condition that no one would be Dissapointed in! Recently we entered her in a local Car Show just for fun. She got more looks than did the Shelbys! Might I add too; "She won Top Honors in Her Class!!! (This Being Her First Show Since Restoration.) She's Slick, Sharpe, Flawless!
NADA Apraises this car in the $70,000.00's. However we all know that these particular cars are selling much higher than these appraisels. And too, this being what it is, it is worth much more than the standard Fastback Car! With all of the Upgrades & Enhancements and Reconditioning, this car would easily bring $70,000.00. Not to mention she has it where none other has... The Ultra Rare, "Paint Delete Ford # Unnkown" Car option! There's simply no telling just how much more it's worth actually is. My thoughts are that it's worth a lot more! And too, I'm not wanting to sell! All of these type of cars are sky rocketing each and every year. And this being the Ulta Rare, Paint Delete, "R" Code, Big Block Monster that it is, will only Strengthen it's Value More and More and More! Enough said...
We need your help! Don't miss voting for "Geraldine!" Nothing would make us happier than to proclaim the honor of being the first USC winner! And it will take your help to make that happen! So please, click on over and vote! Thanks!
James W. Bryant & "Geraldine"
