Summer is here and you need a good, great value cruiser, so your search may be over.
This nice driver quality T'Bird has a nice look with the fresh blue paint and will make you look good as you pull in to your local cruise-in with the classic style that everybody loves. The power is supplied by a strong running 390 v8 coupled to a NEW automatic transmission.
I am assisting the owner of this classic and he needs to quick sale price it so he can go back to France for a month. According to the owner, there is some water leakage at the cowl area although not too bad, some very minor rust in the trunk pan and cowl area, and a slight exhaust leak at the manifold pipe. He does have a new gasket for you to install to stop the leak. All power windows work, but 2 switches are touchy, so he will provide 2 new ones with the sale. The ignition works fine, but sometimes requires a little " jiggle " of the key - an easy fix. The hood release cable is operated by the included vice grips. About once a month you need to top off the power steering fluid, so a new seal may be in order in the future.
The car runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The lights, signals, horn, heater, and all gauges work as they should. Even the chrome is pretty decent and the car was just re-painted back to the original color & it looks great. New carpet and trunk kit were also added. Some pictures may still show the light blue color from before the re-paint, but it has been painted since these pictures were taken. The interior is pretty decent with only 1 or 2 small tears in the headliner that are not very obvious.  The unibody undercarriage is pretty good with typical Ohio surface rust, but nothing that would be alarming to me.
