Vehicle Detail
Very solid older restoration that shows well.Edlebrock performer intake and Edlebrock 600 carb. Mallory dist. and coil .Exhaust features Ford original 406 cast iron headers and Flowmaster mufflers..Sounds very good..Car does not have power steering or power brakes .820 / 15 bias ply tires give the car an original look and a nice ride .The bad-- There is a little play in the steering. There are 2 chips in the windshield that i have covered with gunshot decals .The car has no headliner but the bows are included.Frame has been professionally repaired where there was a small amount of rust on each outside rail but is super strong .The good--Rebuilt engine bored 30 over .Good transmission that shifts were it should .Not sure if the Tranny was rebuilt but i had it re-sealed as it was leaking a little . I installed a new gas tank and a new gas pump. I also had the radiator re-cored with a 2 inch core that replaced the the original 1 1/2 core .The car does not run hot even in hot weather at idle .This is a very solid , strong running example of Ford Thunder as it was in my day .I recently bought 2 more cars and now have 4 cruise night cars. As i have gotten older i go to fewer shows and someone should be enjoying this fine car .On Nov-10-12 at 11:47:38 PST, seller added the following information: This car is listed locally so seller reserves the right to end auction early .
