This beautiful motor was sold and shipped to its proud new owner. Here are some photos of the packing process, done by Far Packaging in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Since the engine was being shipped overseas by surface, it was sealed inside a plastic bag containing desiccant and then placed in a quite robust, custom-made shipping crate. The new owner promised me a ride in his '72 GT should I ever pass through his country-of-origin, which I fortunately do from time-to-time! Looking forward to seeing her run!
