HERE WE GO... THIS IS GOING TO BE AS CLEAR A DESCRIPTION OF A VEHICLE AS I CAN MAKE AS I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE WITH A PURCHASE. THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD THINGS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE THAT MAKE IT UNIQUE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CAR THAT IS GOING TO DRIVE 100 MILES A DAY ROUND TRIP AND NOT GIVE YOU ANY PROBLEMS, I CANNOT TELL YOU IF THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU. IF YOU LOVE OLDER CARS, WANT TO FINISH A PROJECT I STARTED 9 YEARS AGO, AND DONT MIND PUTTING A LITTLE TIME AND MONEY INTO A GREAT MODEL YEAR CAR, THEN THIS IS YOUR CLASSIC. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT WAS JUST A BODY AND HAD NO RUNNING MOTOR. IT HAD A 289 V8 IN IT AT THE TIME BUT IT WAS SHOT. IT ALSO HAD A 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME THAT SLIPPED AND NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. I BOUGHT A 302 V8 CRATE MOTOR AND HAD A T5 TRANSMISSION INSTALLED AND HAD THE REAR END REBUILT. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 500 MILES SINCE THESE UPGRADES. THINGS DONE:ALL 4 WHEELS HAVE HAD THE DRUM BRAKES REDONE...AN UPGRADE TO DISC WAS IN THE FUTUREALL SHOCKS WERE REPLACED(REAR SHOCKS NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AS IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE)NEW SPEEDOMETER CABLE, WATER PUMP, RE-DONE RADIATOR, NEW BATTERYTHERE ARE TWO SETS OF WHEELS AND TIRES. THE WHEEL AND COOPER COBRA TIRES ON THE CAR DO RUB IN THE REAR WHEN OVER A SPEED TABLE OR TURN SHARP, THIS IS A RESULT OF THE SHOCKS.THE SECOND SET ARE SMALLER, AND DO NOT HAVE A DESIGN TO THE BASIC WHEELS, HOWEVER THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW ON THIS SET.NEW CARPET THRUOUTTHE FRONT SEATS ARE RACING STYLE SEATS...IF I HAD TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD HAVE GONE WITH SOMETHING MORE TRADITIONAL, AS THESE ARE NOT THAT COMFORTABLETHE REAR SEAT IS AN ORIGINAL WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS.THE HEADLINER WAS REPLACED AND THE FRONT WINDOW HAD THE SEAL AROUND THE WINDOW REPLACED.THE FRONT DASH WAS NEW BUT THE HEAT INSIDE THE CAR HAS CAUSED IT TO WARP IN SOME PLACESTHE STEERING WHEEL WAS REPLACED BEFORE I PURCHASED, IT IS SMALLER THAN A TRADITIONAL MUSTANG STEERING WHEELTHE HOOD ON THIS CAR WAS DAMAGED WHILE AT THE MECHANICS SHOP WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. I HAVE A NEW HOOD IN THE BOX TO GO WITH THE CAR.I HAVE NEW DOOR JAMB RAILS, GASKETS FOR THE TRUNK AND MANY SMALL PARTS AND ACCESSORIES THAT HAVE BEEN PURCHASED THRUOUT THE REBUILD. ALL WILL BE INCLUDED.THE EXHAUST HAS 2 CHERRY BOMBS OFF THE HEADERS. THIS WAS TEMPORARY UNTIL I GOT THE LINES RUNS THROUGH THE REAR VALANCE. THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FINISHED:THE FRONT END IS IN FINE SHAPE, HOWEVER IM SURE IT COULD BE REDONE WITH BETTER, THIS WAS A GOAL OF MINE AT SOME POINT.THE ELECTRICAL COULD USE SOMEONE TO GO THRU AND TWEAK SOME SHORTS, THE LIGHTS, THE TAIL LIGHTS WORK, THE FRONT PARKING LAMPS DO NOT. THINGS THAT WERE MINOR THAT I DIDNT GET TOTHE SHOCKS IN THE REAR SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE GAS SHOCKS THERE NOW ARE INADEQUATE.NO SEATBELTS ARE INSTALLED AND THE PASSENGER DOOR DOES STICK BUT IS A MINOR FIX. NOW TO THE PART THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WITH ON A VEHICLE THIS AGE. THE BODY. WHEN I STRIPPED THE CAR DOWN, WE SEALED THE FLOOR BOARDS AND MADE SURE THERE WERE NO HOLES BEFORE WE RECARPETED.THE HOOD HAS RUST, BUT I HAVE A NEW HOODUNDER THE HOOD THERE ISNT ANY MAJOR RUSTTHE TRUNK DURING ITS TIME BEFORE IN MY POSSESSION GATHERED WATER IN THE QUARTER PANEL SECTION OF THE TRUNK. THIS CAUSED THE REAR QUARTER PANELS TO DEVELOP BUBBLES IN A LINE AT THE SECTION. THE TRUNK JOINT THAT RUNS TO THE REAR WINDOW ALSO SHOWS A PERFECT SEAM ABOUT 8" LONG THAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED.AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SIDE PANEL BELOW THE "MUSTANG FLARE" THERE IS SOME BUBBLES SHOWING IN THAT AREA.THE DASH WAS METAL BACK IN THE DAY AND IT WAS RUSTOLEUM TREATED, BUT COULD STAND A REDO THERE BUT ISNT MAJOR.THE TOPS OF THE WINDOWS WHERE THERE IS A RAIN GUARD RUNNING AROUND THE WINDOWS HAS SURFACE RUST, THEY DO NOT LEAK, BUT THIS CONNECTION IS A HOTBED FOR WATER IF NOT KEPT COVERED.THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY RED IN COLOR AND WHEN IT WAS PAINTED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE THEY PAINTED IT WHITE. THE JAMBS WERE NOT PAINTED WHITE. I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS CLEAR ON THIS CAR AS POSSIBLE. I RECOMMEND YOU COME TO CENTRAL FLORIDA AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE CAR BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO PURCHASING. IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU TRUST TO COME AND LOOK AT THE VEHICLE THAT IS FINE TOO. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THE CAR TO YOUR LOCATION. SINCE I AM BEING AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE THE CAR IS AS DESCRIBED AND WILL NOT BE REFUNDED IN ANY WAY. THERE WILL BE A PAYPAL DEPOSIT THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END. THE REMAINING BALANCE WILL BE PAID AND CLEARED BEFORE THE CAR CAN BE PICKED UP. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ACCEPT ANY OFFER AT ANY TIME AND END THE AUCTION AS I SEE FIT. I ALSO MAY BE INTERESTED IN A TRADE. I AM VERY PARTIAL TO JEEPS, BUT IF YOU HAVE A TRADE, IT DOESNT HURT TO ASK. I ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE A BID IF THERE IS NEGATIVE OR 0 FEEDBACK OR ANY REASON I SEE FIT. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT I IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE BID IS MADE. NO ONE LIKES TO BE ON A ROLLER COASTER OF A SALE.
