THIS CAR HAS A VERY LOW RESERVE, ONE I THINK IS FAIR FOR THIS CAR, IF IT DOESNT SELL, I WILL START PARTING IT OUT, THE CARB,EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, AND SMOG PARTS WILL GO FOR QUITE A BIT, NOT COUNTING THE WHEEL WELL MOULDINGS, TRUNK LID, FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS, WIRING HARNESS FOR THE BIG 390,,SO THIS CAR HAS GOT A LOT OF POTENTIAL....HATE TO PART THIS OLD CAR OUT THOUGH, I THINK IF YOU HAD IT ON A LIFT, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT A LOT BETTER, IN MY HONEST OPINION I THINK JUST REPLACING THE FLOOR PANS WOULD BE 75 PERCENT OF THIS OLD CARS PAINS........HERE IS AN ALL ORIGINAL S-CODE CONVERTIBLE, USE AS PARTS OR REBUILD, HAS THE SOUGHT AFTER BIG BLOCK 390 WITH 64000 MILES. ALSO THIS CAR HAD THE FAIRLANE BADGE ON THE TRUNK LID, YOU CAN STILL READ THE WORD FAIRLANE, HAS THE TORINO NAME BADGE ELSEWHERE, I WAS TOLD THIS IS KINDA RARE, SINCE THE FELLA HAS SEEN ONLY 2 OTHER MODELS WITH THE FAIRLANE EMBLEM.THIS CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL CHROME VALVE COVERS THAT CAME WITH THE 390, SOME ONE STOLE THE RADIATOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN AN OPEN FIELD IN S.C., WHERE THE HOT SUMMER TEMPS HAVE DESTROYED THE TOP FABRIC AND SEATS, WILL NEED FLOOR PANS, I TOOK SOME PICS OF UNDERNEATH, THE FRAMES LOOK GOOD, THE ITEMS TOUCHING THE GROUND HAVE RUSTED BADLY, MAINLY PARTS OF THE EXHAUST PIPES THIS USED TO BE A BEAUTIFUL CAR, WITH ITS BLACK WITH WHITE RACING STRIPES(ORIGINAL) THIS CAR HAS THE BIG 9 INCH REAR END, EVERYTHING IS ON THE 390 THAT CAME ON IT IN 68, INCLUDING THE INSULATED GAS LINE RUNNING NEAR THE RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST PIPE OR MANIFOLD, ALL THE 68 SMOG LINES AND PUMPS, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH A COMPLETE CAR, EXCEPT THE RADIATOR,AIR CLEANER. IT IS ROUGH, WILL NEED RESTORING OR USE THE PARTS, THE 390 S-CODE ENGINE IS A HARD TO FIND, ALL COMPLETE NUMBERS MATCHING CAR, HAS THE C-6 TRANNY, THIS OLD CAR WAS PARKED AND LEFT ALONE FOR 25 YRS PLUS. ALL FLOOR PANS WILL NEED REPLACING HAS A COUPLE OF SMALL DENTS IN THE FRONT FENDERS, DOORS APPEAR TO BE SOLID, ALL UNDER THE ROCKER EDGES LOOK GOOD, HAS SOME RUST, TRUNK LID IS GOOD, HOOD IS BENT,,CONVERTIBLE TOP POWER WORKS AND PUMPS WORKS, UNFORTUNATELY THE TWO BRACKETS THAT ARE MADE OF ALUMINUM SNAPPED, THEY WILL NEED REPLACING, MY BUDDY GOT IT TO GO DOWN, BUT THE CORROSION OF THE ALUMINUM WAS TOO MUCH AND IT SNAPPED THIS CAR HAS FRONT DISC BRAKES WHICH WILL NEED REPLACING OR REBUILDING, THIS CAR IS A GOLD MINE FOR THE 68 AND 69 TORINO FOLKS OUT THERE THAT NEEDS PARTS RESTORING THIER OLD CAR, DONT LET THE CONDITION OF THE CAR SCARE YOU, IF YOU SAT OUTSIDE FOR 25 YEARS , YOU WOULD LOOK A LOT WORSE THAN THIS..... THIS WAS A LOCAL GREENWOOD SC CAR, SOLD NEW BY GEORGE BALLENTINE FORD,, THEY ARE STILL HERE, I WAS TOLD THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN BY A LANDER COLLEGE GIRL, SHE SOLD IT TO THE SECOND OWNERS A LOCAL CAR DEALER HERE IN WARE SHOALS, THEY HAD LOTS OF CARS AND STILL DO, THEY HAD A TENDANCY TO PARK THE CARS AND EITHER GET BUSY WITH OTHER PROJECTS OR WHEN THE CARS DIDNT SELL THEY WOULD SIMPLY DRIVE THEM INTO A FIELD OR THIER BUSINESS AND LET THEM SIT, THIS CAR HAS SAT FOR 25 YRS PLUS, PART OF THE ORIGINAL SC TAG WAS ON THE FRONT. THIS CAR HAS CLEAR TITLE, BUT THE OWNER WILL HAVE TO FIND IT, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HE AND HIS DADDY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE 60'S AND THEY HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF CARS, THEY HAVE THE TITLE SOMEWHERE.......I TALKED WITH THE OWNER AND HE SAID HE WILL LOOK FOR IT. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED TO MY KNOWLEDGE, AND THE SECOND OWNERS KNOWLEDGE AND THAT TAKES IT BACK 25 YRS OR MORE THIS CAR WILL NEED A FLAT BED, TO REMOVE THE REAR WHEEL BRAKES HAVE LOCKED UP, BY JUST SITTING FOR SO LONG,,WILL NEED A 500 DEPOSIT AND THE REST WHEN YOU PICK UP CAR On Jan-02-12 at 15:33:27 PST, seller added the following information: forgot to mention it has all the glass, no cracks, both side windows and rears,,plus it has the original glass convertible windowOn Jan-02-12 at 19:13:04 PST, seller added the following information: almost there!! 25.00 more bucks and you have met reserve!On Jan-02-12 at 20:16:21 PST, seller added the following information: just read on the internet about the rarity of these s-codes 390 gt convertibles ford made 5,309 torino gt convertibles for 68,of the number of cars outfitted like this one is only 488, thats the 390 4 barrel gt convertible with c-6 tranny,,so thats pretty rare!!!
