Condition: This car is what I refer to as 'real'. Not entirely original or babied, but not ragged out or abused, either. Like any car this age, it has its' own quirks and personality, but on the whole, it's a great ride! Receives more than its' share of attention and compliments wherever it goes. Easily nice enough for cruise-ins and just the right amount of 'patina' to not be paranoid about just tooling around in. Some folks might call it a ten foot-er. Nice enough to receive an invite to Stacey David's production company, up in White House, for an 'eye-candy' photo-shoot (no, I didn't go). Has spent a fair share of its' life garaged. The sheet metal is sound and has a 30 year old repaint of the original OEM 2B 'Bright Red' which shows normal wear and tear (hazing, minor scuffs and a few chips) but still presents well enough. A previous owner had some minor work performed on the lower rear corners of the doors about 15 years ago. That work is still presentable but showing its' age. The only 'rust', per se, is primarily surface rust in a few places. The only remaining OEM materials in the drivetrain are the block, crank, transmission case, driveshaft and rear end housing. Everything else has been refreshed or replaced, including the radiator. Motor has less than 7k miles on it since a rebuild, and has only logged 4k miles since 2007. Still shuts down nice and tight, burns no oil and runs best on 91-93 octane fuel. Pulls about 12.9-13.0 inches of vacuum at idle, 17+ inches steady state going down the road. Wheels and tires have less than 1k miles on them. Exhaust note is deep/bass but doesn't beat on you. No drone.

On Dec-04-15 at 05:16:44 PST, seller added the following information: Condition: Note: Have had questions regarding the authenticity of the 351W motor in this car. "H" code, 2V motors could be either Windsors or Clevelands. No rhyme or reason as to which. Was determined by availability at time of build. This car is what I refer to as 'real'.

I'm being as honest as I know how to be. If you have any questions, please ask, and you'll get a straight answer. Besides, who knows(?), I may wish to buy it back (again), one day! Features: Car weighed in @ 3740 pounds in 2006 on a DOT scale, w/ quarter tank of gas/no driver or spare tire. 80 psi oil pressure, cold/20 psi, hot @ idle. 6-1/2 - 7 psi fuel pressure. 7"-10" vacuum @ initial start. 12.5" - 13.5" vacuum @ idle (warmed up), 17" vacuum steady state. Idle @ 950 - 1k rpm in neutral. Choppy idle, cold. Speedometer not corrected for new(er) rear gears, but car tachs out @ 3000-3200 @ 70 mph. This is NOT a hole-shot car with the current gearing and converter. 351W block, punched '030"+ Crank turned .010"/.010" KB Hypereutectic pistons (approx 10:1 CR w/ current heads) 351W Sportsman truck rods w/ ARP bolts Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads Scorpion 1.6 RR's Comp Cams XE274H cam Edelbrock 351W Air Gap intake QFT SS735 VS carb w/ electric choke Holley fuel log w/ isolator for mechanical fuel pressure gauge Carter fuel pump Aeromotive AN style in-line fuel filter @ tank Ford Duraspark ignition w/ recurved distributor Trunk mounted battery C6 auto (reconditioned) w/ mild shift kit and 2K stall converter FPA long tube headers w/ Nitro Plate finish 3" (sectioned) mandrel bent dual exhaust w/ X-pipe, over axle and turned out behind rear tires Hooker 3" Aero-Chamber mufflers Monroe HD PI shocks all around Metallic brake pads and shoes Crown Vic PI front springs, trimmed 3/4 coil. 3.50 gears PowerTrax locker unit Front and rear sway bars AR Torque Thrust II's, 17x 8, w/ Nitto NT555's, 255/50-17's, front AR Torque Thrust II's, 18x9-1/2, w/ Nitto NT555's, 295/45-18's, rear AutoMeter mechanical fuel pressure, oil pressure, water temp and vacuum gauges AutoMeter 8K tach in OEM clock position AutoMeter Wide band O2 meter Variable speed wiper control Original rear and all side glass.
