VEHICLE HISTORY: Here is the history I know for this vehicle. I purchased the car in 2009, so I’ve had it 5 years, and during that time I’ve driven it 1,100 miles. I installed new brake shoes and rear wheel cylinders, 950 cca battery & cables, Zebart rust proofing & undercoating, and replaced the rear-end center unit with identical 9 3/8” and 2.80 gear set. Prior owner, Rick, purchased in 2006 and owned for 3 years. Car was appraised for $14.5K in 06’, when the market was a little friendlier. Rick added the aluminum fan, sunpro gauges, mirrors, dash topper, rear deck carpet, tightened the steering gearbox, and front end alignment.Carl owned the vehicle before Rick, and he was the mechanic who rebuilt the 460 engine and C6 tranny. The valves and keepers in the heads were changed to use unleaded gas. He also had the bumpers re-chromed, new carpet, and the performer white paint job. The original color was either green or purple, not certain which, but I know it was a dark color. The white is fairly thick on the top surfaces and in good shape, but thinner on the underside of the hood and deck lid.I believe the car originally had the Bix Six 240 with a three speed manual. I do not have the original powertrain. This model was not equipped with power assist steering, probably because it only had the weight of a 6 cylinder engine and trans rather than the big block, but it still steers well. The 460 is substantially modified and is a very strong runner, so much that I suspect the dyno numbers may be a bit lower than the actual HP and torque being output. The car is really set-up as a hot rod. Body and frame are very solid and clean. Brakes work very well, and the suspension is smooth like an old Lincoln continental, so it rides really nice and tracks straight. It’s a great cruiser and fun to drive around town, on the highway, and to the local car gatherings. Let me know if you have any questions.
