The body does havesome filler in the lower quarter panels, the floors are solid, and thetrunk had new sheet metal welded in years ago. There is a brand new setof 17X8 Cragar S/S's all the around the vehicle with new z rated BFGoodrich Tires on the rear. The rearend is a Ford 9 inch with a factory3.25 gear.
Thereis a lot of new parts on the car such as a Tuff Stuff 100 Ampalternator, dual 40 series Flowmaster exhaust, master cylinder, wiring, radio, carpet,sound deadener on the floor, door panels, door switchs, dash bezels,and a hood latch emblem. The car needs a 4 terminal single speed wiperswitch and a right AIR vent cable.
Allthe dome and door lights work, and all the instrument lights light uplike a Christmas tree at night. The fuel gauge works, the cooling gaugewas disabled and switched over to a more accurate gauge, the oilpressure indicator light was switched over to a manual gauge, and a voltmeter was added. The cooling system has a 160 thermostat, that holdsnear that temperature even on the hottest summer days.
Thisis car is ready to drive and cruise! Its been garaged for the past 11 years I've owned it, and in that time it has never seen any rain. I have taken it tosmaller local car shows, and it always stands out from the other cars. Ienjoyed owning this car and cruising around for fun,but unfortunately I have to sell this car. If there are any questions, feel free to ask.
