Car was spec'd and ordered from Larry Bird Ford in Martinsville, Indiana. It was used primarily to commute from Bloomington, IN to Louisville, KY (100mi), three or four times per month for an airline pilot job until 2004 when it became a back-up vehicle and was driven a few times per month. Carefully adult driven (mostly highway) and most maintenance performed by me. Complete maintenance records available. Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires are less than 3 years old, approx 3K miles. Wheels very good, have never had a bead leak. The head gasket blew out last month (white smoke, water in oil.) Symptoms: sudden miss, white smoke under hard acceleration. Found coolant low, about a quart of coolant in the oil. Drained all coolant, replaced oil and filter and ran engine briefly (under 30 seconds) a few times to recirculate fresh oil. Then drained oil again, replaced oil and filter and repeated process. I need the garage space for a new car on order and rather than repair it myself have decided to sell the SC as is.Car is completely stock with the exception of a 5-Point Deist Racing Harness that was installed because the power seat belts did not seem adequate and much of the work commute was middle of the night. With the exception of time spent at the airport, vehicle has always been garage kept. Clutch is original. On May-18-16 at 18:10:04 PDT, seller added the following information: *** ADDITIONAL DETAILS/FAULTS ***Battery strap is missing.Gas hood struts are inoperative and a wooden prop rod is used to hold up.Plastic trim piece along driver's door was removed to accommodate five-point harness in 1992 and is now missing.On May-20-16 at 05:05:59 PDT, seller added the following information: Car can be started briefly (coolant is drained) to drive onto a transport. My 2-post lift may be able to lower it directly onto your flatbed (have done it before, depends if truck cab is low enough to clear my garage door.) Access to the car by any transport is unrestricted.On May-20-16 at 20:08:13 PDT, seller added the following information: I have not been able to locate original driver's floor mat or the ash tray cover in front of the gear shift, as can be seen in the photos. They will not be included with the sale. I believe these are the last original items missing that were not in the original description or condition but I will add anything else discovered while preparing the car for collection.
