The mileage is correct, It had 54,000 miles on it when I bought it. Car has new paint and detailed inside of trunk area and engine compartment, (painted 4 years ago, stored inside my shop for most of that time) all trim was removed before paint. This is a very rust free car, (very slight rust was repaired on lower rear quarters) I have picks of it before paint work was done. It has new carpet, new headliner, new recovered seats, door panels are original and the dash pad needs restored or replaced. It was originally a 200 6 cylinder with 3 speed trans, shifter on column. Steering column and shifter has been rebuilt. I originally bought this car in 1999, drove it for 4 years and sold it. Bought it back and started a big block project with it. The car currently has no engine or trans installed. INCLUDED IN AUCTION is a set Big block engine frame mounts, big block z bar (fresh powder coated), a new 9" Ford 3:71 Ratio Posi-rearend ($1100)with a fresh powder coated housing (third member and housing not assembled yet., also a fresh powder coated trans tunnel shifter plate if you want to put in a four speed, it is a 3 speed on column(rebuilt column)also included is two front big block coil springs. The windows tracks have been redone, all the door glass is solid and not loose in the tracks, new weather strips in the doors and trunk, new rear glass rubber seal installed when headliner was replaced. I am sure there is some stuff I am forgetting to mention as far as parts included (other small items). It has a set of vintage American Torque Thrust Wheels 14x7.5 that are in real nice condition. tires are old and should be replaced. Also has a set of new 14" magnum 500 wheels no tires. You can pick whichever set of wheels you want. Or both sets for Extra $450. This car just needs the big block stuff installed and you would have a real power house to drive.

If some one just wants the car--or the 3:71 ratio posi rearend--I will break up the package. Shipping is available for $1.25 per mile. May do some partial trading with cash.
