AN ALL MATCHING NUMBER CAR!!!NEW PAINT; Two stage, four coats of clear.NEW UPHOLSTERY: Carpet (black) seats & headliner white. New trunk mats & under the hood too! This 49 year old lady I consider to be 99.9% done and ready to go. I've tried to keep her as original as she was new. The upholstery is five star. The paint is at least a four &3/4 star. The chrome on this car is all original & is in great condition. When I bought this car from a 97 year old man it'd been sitting in his garage for ten or more years. I had to pull the gas tank and flush it and the fuel lines. New fuel pump and filters. All of the suspension rubber was rotten. But being a Southern Nevada car, corrosion was not an issue. I pulled the motor reconditioned the heads and changed the freeze plugs (as one was leaking). I pulled the oil pan and plastic gauged the main and rod bearings and found all within tolerance. I've rebuilt the power steering pump & the power brake booster. I pulled the radiator, had it pressure tested, flushed and painted. All new hoses, belts & tune up. Rebuilt starter & bendix. New tires, Hankooks P215-75R15 (white walls), new brakes front and rear. All new front suspension: ball joints, tie rod ends, all new rubber bushings in the control arms, and I put new front coil springs in her as well. I pulled the transmission pan and found all to be clean and operational. I did however replace the transmission mount and the U-joints. I put new rubber bushings in the rear leaf springs but I did not replace the springs themselves as the car seems to sit good. I rebuilt the original autolite carburetor (three times) and I just could not get her to behave herself, so I put on an Holley 600 cfm and it seemed to straighten her out. The original carb will come with the car as may be someone better than me can get it to run properly. I also bought a radio for her, it's a 240 watt AM FM, with usb player, RCA outputs, DVD, and satellite. As you can see in the photos, it is still in the box and brand new It's got the T-bird emblem on the face & It's supposed to slip right in. (see pics) I did not install the sound because as now this old lady is as original as I can make her. Besides, my upholstery guy told me that if I started cutting holes into his work, he'd disown me and not do anymore work for me. Therefore, whoever does decide to buy my fine lady can do the sound themselves. The exhaust system is the same as when I bought the car, it's in good condition, they's a pair of bullet mufflers under there that sound great. So I just let it be. Things wrong: the horn does not work, the directional signal return does not work as well (I can't find the proper switch), and there is a clear glass reverse light lense that I cannot find (I have searched everywhere). I also have not found the original air cleaner.This car is now located in Las Vegas NV. Buyer can trailer her home. If it was me, I'd kinda like to drive her from here to New York City, as she is a blast to drive & quite the head turner!
