In 2012, 524 underwent a full rotisserie restoration by Tim Lea, ne of the most well regarded restorers within the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) community.

Shehas been driven approximately 3,100 miles since 2012, ostly to local shows and events in the Los Angeles area. In addition, 2524 was featured in a recent Ford family wedding.

Retired from competition, ccasional driving does results in slight patina, rimarily within the engine bay and undercarriage. Minorwear to plated and bare metal componentsis to be expected and is regularly detailed to maintain the factory finish.
