Get a jump on spring and get a great old convertible for under $10,000. Great bargain! This car is complete to drive. Drive and enjoy. Of course no warranties implied. I spent around $4000 getting it ready to roll. I have recent receipts. I have lowered the reserve well below what I have in it. Really nice car. Odometer reads 112,000. Accuracy is unknown. I have done many improvements and ready to move on to new projects. Not looking for any trades. Thanks. Great collection edition to you Ford folks out there. Not perfect. Older restoration and very well maintained. Great enjoyable driver. I'm very confident you could pick up and drive home. This is not a $15,0000-20000 trailer queen. I am in the Birmingham Alabama area can help arrange local area pick up/shipping at buyers expense. I do not have a lot of history on this great old Ford XL Convertible. I have owned it a couple of years. I bought it from a guy who drove for a while. His story was, he purchased it from a widow whose husband restored the car a while ago and was part of a collection. I'm pretty sure the car spent it's life in the Maryland area. The vin is 0E61Y214610. the trim tag reads Body 76B Col T Trim 1A Axle K Trans V DSU 17 please excuse any typos. I have the current Alabama registration, as well as the prior owner Maryland title, just to ensure prior history. As some of you know certain states due not title older cars prior to a certain date. Alabama is one of those states. I have sold older cars before here before and it is not an issue, I own the car. I've been on many web sites on this car and what I can tell it's an original red exterior, black interior car with a V8 390-2V big block. 270 hp 9.5:1 compression... I believe the motor may be the original one and was rebuilt along the way. The restoration to me looks like it was done well, however not a frame off. Old factory a/c works well. Blower fan squeaks at first and goes quiet. The engine was a leaky mess when I got it and this what I did: new steering gear, intake gasket, heater hose, antifreeze, carb kit(it currently has a holly carb), valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, exhaust pipe gaskets. It has strait pipe exhaust that has been on for a while. Quite the hot rod sound. Reliable, runs very strong, and the big block really performs. Probably could use a radiator overflow bottle to recycle fluid. Need to add, once in a while. All works well, no issues. The exterior looks really nice. The paint shows little wear. It's a brighter red, not sure if it's ford factory color. There is some some small minor surface rust areas in he door jam areas.See photos. There is no rust anywhere else. The bumper's do have some pitting and cracking up close, 5 foot range and would have to be re- chromed for show quality. I included some close up photos. The rest of the chrome is good. Hide away lights perform perfectly. The trunk does not have a spare tire, it does have jack, etc. The original rim/hubcaps cleaned up great. Very minor pitting, you could fill in black accents where desired. The tires have good tread and are just an off brand. The top is brand new, the old one was ok but the cross bows were bad so it looked like a bubble going down the road. Unfortunately that's one unit, so a costly replacement. I saved back glass window and re used. The top is the high quality cloth type. The cylinders and hydraulic lines have been replaced and it works fantastic. I bought a convertible boot to put on, but have never used it. Comes with the sale. The interior really looks great. The seats are older covered, still look good, I repaired/replaced several rips and re padded drivers sagging area. The carpet is new. It has black rubber mat covers. Somewhere down the line a fm/cd player was installed under the dash with a 6 changer in the trunk. Obviously older. All works well. Replaced FM antenna. Radio works well Good speakers flush mounts in the front doors under grill cover and high end tweeters in the pillar post. The original am/fm radio in dash turns on but no sound. The glass running vertically over original radio is cracked. The best thing done to make this car look fantastic was I found a great interior guy who recovered the dash pad. Unique dash that would be nearly impossible to replace. The original was good with typical non pleasing cracks over time. You will have to see to believe how outstanding it looks. All dash board instruments work well. Clock even works sometimes. I've replace most of the rubber moulding where I could as needed. I am putting it in at auction format and letting it run with a low reserve.
