BODY: THE BODY RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEET METAL. A FEW DOOR DINGS, THE TAIL GATE HAS A DENT AND THERE IS A DENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE JUST BEHIND THE DOOR. BOTH ARE VERY MINOR AND CAN BE EASILY REPAIRED (SEE PICTURE). ONLY ONE ERASURE SIZE BUBBLE ON THE LOWER CORNER OF THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL. THE ENTIRE CAR IS RUST AND ROT FREE. IT HAS BEEN A CALIFORNIA CAR IT'S ENTIRE LIFE. THE CLEAR COAT OF THE CURRENT PAINT JOB IS STARTING TO PEEL. CONDITION: BODY MOLDINGS ARE NEAR PERFECT WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR DENTS ON THE TOP OF THE TAILGATE MOLDING. THE BED IS ALSO NEAR PERFECT WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF SMALL DENTS (NOT USED AS A HAULER). THE DASH PAD HAS ONE CRACK IN THE MIDDLE AND THE DASH PANEL LETTERING AND SILVER TRIM PAINT SHOWS AS NEW. A/C IS COMPLETE AND NEEDS A CHARGE. STEERING WHEEL IS CRACKED. HORN SWITCH NEEDS REPLACING. CENTER STEERING WHEEL PAD AND CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES ARE EXCELLENT. CLOCK DOES NOT WORK. ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT WORKS AS IT SHOULD. THE TRANSMISSION IS EXCELLENT AND SHIFTS VERY SMOOTH. THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT AND MAKES LOTS OF TORQUE. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS IT WILL SMOKE AT START UP, BUT NOT EVERY TIME. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE VALVE SEALS. NOT SURE. IT DOES NOT SMOKE OR USE OIL EVEN UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. OVERALL A VERY NICE DRIVING CAR AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED WITH THESE MILES. A ROAD TRIP FOR THIS CAR WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. ALL OF THE MECHANICALS ARE VERY SOLID AND DEPENDABLE. FULLY SERVICED AND READY TO GO. TITLE: CURRENTLY HAS A SALVAGE TITLE BECAUSE OF A MINOR ENGINE FIRE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR BEFORE ANY WORK WAS DONE AND EVEN BEFORE THE FIRE. IT NEEDED PLUG WIRES, VACUUM HOSES, REPAINT AIR CLEANER AND THE RIGHT VALVE COVER AND A FEW PLASTIC ITEMS. STILL RETAINS ALL ORIGINAL WIRING AND A/C PLENUM. ALL CORRECT AND ORIGINAL FORD PARTS USED. DON'T LET AN HONEST DESCRIPTION SCARE YOU, THIS CAR IS VERY NICE! I WELCOME ANY SERIOUS BIDDERS TO INSPECT THE CAR. IT IS IN EL MONTE CALIFORNIA (NEAR PASADENA) A NEW PAINT JOB AND MINOR DETAILING AND THIS CAR IS READY TO SHOW.TRULY A GREAT CAR WITH VERY LITTLE NEEDED.
