Vehicle Detail

THIS VEHICLE WAS RESTORED IN THE LATE 1980'S (BODY), AND THE ENGINE WAS RESTORED IN THE MID 1990'S AND HAS APPROX 5,000 MILES SINCE THE REBUILD. CAR HAS NEW BRAKE CYLINDERS, MASTER, ALL BRAKE HOSES AND BATTERY, ALL WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. FUN CAR TO DRIVE, TAKE TO CRUISES, SHOWS, ETC. MAKES A NICE APPEARANCE, BUT IS NOT PERFECT. HAS A FEW MINOR DINGS, (SEE PICS) MILEAGE SHOWS 33,000 + AND IS BELIEVED TO BE 133,000. COMES WITH 4 RWL RADIALS, MAGS, 4 ORIGINAL WIDE WHITEWALLS AND ORIGINAL RESTORED WHEELS, WITH CORRECT STRIPING AND ORIGINAL HUBCAPS. ALSO INCLUDED ARE A SET OF SKIRTS AND SOME EXTRA PARTS.I WILL TRY TO LIST ANY OF THE THINGS I KNOW THAT ARE WRONG WITH THE CAR, NONE OF WHICH HAVE PREVENTED IT FROM BEING A FUN CAR TO DRIVE AND ENJOY. SMALL DING LOWER RIGHT FRONT FENDER, LEFT REAR FENDER. BUMPERS COULD STAND RE-CHROMING. THEY ARE NOT RUSTED, BUT ARE NOT TOO BRIGHT. RADIO WORKS, BUT THE VOLUME CONTROL SHOULD BE SPRAYED. CLOCK DOES NOT WORK. HEATER WORKS FINE. WHEN DECELERATING IN 2ND GEAR ONLY, IT WILL POP OUT AFTER A TIME. I AM TOLD THIS COULD BE A WORN SYNCRO. HAS A SLIGHT VIBRATION AT ABOUT 55 MPH. I AM TOLD THIS COULD BE AN OUT-OF-BALANCE CLUTCH, AS IT WILL GO AWAY IF YOU STEP ON CLUTCH ONCE, AND WILL STAY AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU USE THE CLUTCH. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE VEHICLE, I WOULD ENCOURAGE AN INSPECTION OF IT SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GETTING. INTERIOR IS PRESENTABLE, SEAT COVER LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN REPLACED. VISORS ARE FRAYED. HEADLINER LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL, AND HAS SOME STAINING.DOOR PANALS LOOK TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED. WINDSHIELD IS FAIRLY NEW, AND ALL OTHER GLASS IS IN GOOD SHAPE. TRUNK MAT AND FLOOR MAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL STYLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE THE EARLY 1990'S. CAR WAS IN AN ISSUE OF EARLY FORD V-8 CLUBS MAGAZINE. CAR IS COMPLETELY STOCK EXCEPT FOR DUEL EXAUST AND GLASSPACS. I HAVE NO WAY TO SHIP THE VEHICLE, AND IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSABILITY TO FIGURE THAT OUT. CAR CAN BE SEEN IN COOPERSBURG PA WHICH IS NEAR ALLENTOWN AND NORTH OF PHILADELPHIA.
