WOW! Finally got me a "Girlie car!"
...and I am SO excited, I just had to share!
A whopping' $(secret low cost) and a 2 hr. road trip = ET's new winter DD.
From what I was told... 289, 4 speed, Monza buckets(?) (know squat about
Fords), says clutch is garbled up. He mentioned that his brother used to reach
under the fender to make the clutch work.
He said he thought it may have been an auto originally and knew for sure
(he thought, kinda) that it was now a manual car 4-speed in there).
Also, said he thought the radiator was toast.
Floor shift w/ afore mentioned buckets. V-8, 4 round tires plus the engine
compartment looked pretty darned complete.
Pretty much what you'd expect for a car that's been sitting for years.
Anyhow, here's the 3 pics I took...pretty rusty body (according to
PNW "rusty") but, despite the duel sunroof, it was dry inside with
no signs of dried out mildew, poke-my-finger-thru holes or the sticky
crap that attacks the steering wheel.
Since the body panels are toast anyway, I'll use creative license on
spiffin' her up... exterior spackle, flashing & bomb cans come to mind.
WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!
