I purchased this vehicle in 2002 in Oregon and drove it back to Wisconsin, soon after returning to Wisconsin Gas tank had leak, replaced it with a new one by a private mechanics garage. I did not do the work myself it required a professional. The vehicle is in fair condition, not perfect but has so much potential ask specific questions and I will for sure answer them honestly. I have had it in storage in Green Bay, WI since 2004 and have taken it out only once or twice a year up until Feb 2009, that was the last time it was driven. Since then the brake lines have begun to leak do to lack of use and deterioration. The vehicle was my dream car and when I moved down to Florida in 2004 I was not able to take it with me. I have since lost my job in construction and need to get rid of it. It is ideal for a parts car or an easy restoration I believe. I would love this car to go to someone who would appreciate what is left of it, but if it does not sell it will more than likely be sold to a scrap yard and I hate to thing of what would come of it. I plan to use the proceeds to help my mother with her bills as I signed over the vehicle to her name years ago so she will be the one transferring the title. I hope someone will appreciate this car for it's beauty and size. She has a worn interior but not in complete ruin, driver seat normal wear for vehicle with this many miles and armrest shows slight breakdown from use. Engine still strong but could use a good carburetor rebuild to run top notch. Will include Haynes Ford Engine Overhaul Manual that I was going to use to rebuild the carburetor myself with. I will be adding more photos of it soon, have to go back out to Storage Unit to get them, the first picture is a generic. Please email me and I can send more photos after 12/27/10. I will be selling no reserve and starting out very low for bidding. The vehicle is titled but not licensed will need to be towed or transported to new home until brake lines and license can be achived.On Dec-27-10 at 12:46:54 PST, seller added the following information: The original picture was a generic as I stated, here are the actual pictures of the front, side, engine & odometer. I can send you more of the pictures in the storage uni,t I have two flat tires right now but will plan to get them inflated then pull her out for even more pictures by Tuesday the 28th of December. If you bid on the look of the generic picture please call me at (727) 432-2471 and I will not hold you responsible or put bad marks on your ebay account if you would like to back out of the bid. I don't know if anyone really noticed the disclaimer on the original description stating generic picture. She is not a "10" but I love her like she is. YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURE THE ODOMETER IS ACTUALLY 92,347 miles. I also have a movie I took of it running in the storage unit today the 27th of December, it is about 115 MB in size if you have an email that can handle that type of file size let me know I walked from the front to the drivers door openned it up and sat inside, tried to show odometer but was not possible not enough light without the flash of the camera. I then walked to the front and opened up the engine compartment to view the engine. It's in .AVI format so email me to let me know if you would like to see the little 2 minute movie of it. I will allow, like I said, for the first 4 bidders to back out if they thought the first picture is of the car, it was a generic. I will only be in town until Saturday 11am the 1st of January 2011, I would like to have the car sold by the end of this week or it will have to go back in storage until this summer when I return for another try at the sale. Please let me know if you have any questions.
