IT IS ORIGINALLY FROM ARIZONA, (DOCUMENTED) WHICH WOULD ACCOUNT FOR IT'S RUST FREE CONDITION. ALTHOUGH WE CAN NEVER BE SURE OF THE MILEAGE IN A CAR OF THIS AGE, THE ORIGINALITY OF THIS CAR SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE 54371 SHOWN ON THE ODOMETER MIGHT, JUST BE THE TOTAL MILEAGE SINCE NEW.
THE CAR IS LOADED WITH FACTORY EXTRAS, WHICH ARE AS FOLLOWS:
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POWER BRAKES
POWER STEERING
POWER WINDOWS
PADDED SUN VISORS
HARDTOP AND CORRECT SOFT TOP
OTHER ACCESSORIES INCLUDE, RADIO, ORIGINAL ANTENNA, CLOCK, WIRE WHEELS, UNDER-DASH AIR CONDITIONING (POLAR AIRE) WHICH IS FROM THE 50'S, WINDOW WASHERS, RADIATOR EXPANSION TANK AND, ELECTRONIC IGNITION. WE MIGHT ADD, THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE RARE ORIGINAL 1956 T-BIRD JACK.
IT APPEARS THAT AT SOME POINT, THERE WAS A REFURBISH DONE IN THAT THERE IS SOME PAINT RESPRAY, MOTOR TUNED AND A NEW SET OF WIDE WHITE WALL TIRES. THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS MUST ALSO HAVE BEEN RE-CHROMED, AS THEY ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
IT DOES RUN AS IT SHOULD AND, CAN CERTAINLY BE DRIVEN ANY DISTANCE WITHOUT WORRY.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE NEGATIVES. THE PAINT HAS CHIPS AND SCRATCHES THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP. IF YOU WANT A SHOW CAR PAINT JOB THIS IS NOT IT. AT SOME POINT THE OWNER DECIDED TO END THE EXHAUSTWITH A DOWN PIPE END BEFORE THE REAR BUMPER IN ORDER TO KEEP THE BUMPER ENDS CLEAN. THE HEADLINER IN THE HARDTOP HAS SOME RIPS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED IF USED. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE RUST ON SOME OF THE WIRE WHEEL RIMS. THE BLACK CONVERTIBLE TOP IS FADED. THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR NEEDS REPAIR.
THE INTERIOR OF THIS CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO RIPS TEARS, OR STAINS. THE DASH IS NOT CRACKED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CLOCK.
THE FACTORY ORIGINALITY OF THIS CAR IS, EVIDENCE BY THE ORIGINAL HEATER PIPES NOT DAMAGED UNDER THE FRONT FENDERS, THE REAR APRON UNDER THE CONTINENTAL KIT WHICH IS STEEL, AND NOT THE FIBERGLASSREPRODUCTION. THE RADIO ANTENNA IS THE ORIGINAL, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER INDICATORS OF THE CAR'S ORIGINALITY.
ALL IN ALL IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE EXAMPLE OF A COSMETICALLY DONE ORIGINAL CAR, WITH NO RUST OR DETERIORATION THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE CAR FOR YOU. IT WILL DRAW ATTENTION AT ANY CRUISE AND AFFORD YOU MANY MILES OF PLEASURABLE DRIVING.
WE CAN ARRANGE ALL SHIPPING FOR THE BUYER WORLD WIDE AT THE BUYERS EXPENSE. IMPORTATION TO THE U.S. IS A SIMPLE MATTER AND WE CAN ASSIST WITH THAT IF NECESSARY.
