This old hot rod is in need of some love for sure. It's either going to make a really good parts car, or a sweet custom restoration. I've had this car for over 15 years and have been plagued with the same problem all along, I live in the city and I have no place to park it. I haven't driven the car in about 7 years other than to move it. I do start it from time to time. It's time to let the old gal go. So here's all that's both wrong and right with it no B.S.I'm happy to take any extra pics you would like and send them along. The good: Hubs and brakes: First off the brake hubs, which are pretty much impossible to find. The two on the front are both re-casts from Lincoln Parts International. Unless they have done another batch I got the last two. They have very few miles on them. The hubs for the back are also in very good shape. They are currently not installed. The break hydraulics have been replaced. I have two sets of new unused pads. Transmission completely rebuilt by Aamco (yes I know I was an idiot to do that). Replaced the steering box. (Rebuilt unit from Lincoln Parts Int.) I had a low rider sub frame put in the car (of course not for the purpose of making it jump). Even though the base of the car needs metal work you can open all four doors and jump all over it. For a unibody convertible of this era, it's totally rigid. Two of the window motors are rebuilt, not installed. All the glass is good. The not so good: There is a dent in the drivers side door, but nothing that can't be popped out from the inside. Interior is a complete redo. Although it's pretty much all there mechanically, the automatic roof is not working and there is no vinyl top. The floors, trunk and wheel wells need metal work. Rear right exhaust pipe (after the muffler) needs to be replaced. There is some bubbling and chipping on the paint job. Window switches need replacing. Power steering pump is leaking and needs rebuilding. Fuel gauge doesn't work. Speedo doesn't work. General Stuff: Car has about 110,000 miles on it and runs fine.
