Car has been in the same family most of its life was not abused,raced,hit or molested in any way. It is truly a rare clean car been in storage since 1997 was hardly used much before that.
The 289 engine is very strong ,very fast pushing 225 HP with the 4 barrel set up with another 30 HP added with the dual muffler exhaust set up! This engine doesn"t smoke, the C4 automatic transmission shifts good doesn"t leak, the car does run and drive ,has 4 brand new tires all the way around.
The floor boards front and back are solid,the rear quarters are solid, the trunk area has no rust, the bumpers front and rear are still bright and shiny not all dented up Car is stock down to the original mercury man hubcaps.all letters on the trunk are there,all correct caliente script and emblems are there, all correct front fender badges are there, nothing is missing or covered up over like so many of these cars hiding their bondo.
No trim is missing, all the caliente emblems are there, nothing dented up or bent up out of shape or replaced ,the interior has no rips in the seats or the headliner. The door panels are not all torn up with speaker holes, the carpet smells fresh nor torn up, there were no pets or kids in the car so it smells fresh and clean with no smokers.
