Vehicle description
An exceptionally well preserved high desert survivor recently re-commissioned out of long dry storage. A 66,000 original miles time capsule car that is ready to please. Rust free, nice chrome, glass and trim. NOTE small dent at leading edge of RF wheel arch
Beautiful, still soft leather interior, un-cracked dash, clean carpets. Massive 460 engine is smooth, quiet and effortlessly pulls this big car. Transmission shifts perfectly and has fresh fluid and filter.
Re-commissioning work performed for roadworthy status consisted of fresh fluids and filters everywhere, engine oil, transmission, coolant and brake fluid has been flushed.
ALL coolant hoses and belts are replaced with new, the carburetor overhauled, ignition tune up, new brake master cylinder. New Monroe shocks and some suspension bushings so it glides smoothly down the road.
While a leaking timing cover gasket was being replaced the cam timing set was replaced with the earlier style "straight up" pre-smog version. This is a well know improvement for this early smog era engine.
This car still retains its original Ford script muffler in good condition as installed at the factory. The tail pipe has some holes, it is not loud but a new over axle pipe and resonator will make it whisper quiet again. The "Sure-Track" rear anti lock brake system was leaking so is deleted, its components are included with the sale should you wish to restore it. Original AM radio with stereo 8 track tape player remains, only static on the radio, the tape player is untested. The power antenna works just fine. The clock"s self winding points needs cleaning, it runs with a tap. The A/C clutch is stuck from years of standing so the new belt to the compressor was not installed(but included), it is assumed the system will need, at a minimum, to be evacuated and recharged. Rear power windows will need some attention, both motors run but only one window moves. Both fronts work fine. You will be very hard pressed to find a more original, well preserved example of this first and most desirable year of the later Mark IV series. Comes with the original owner"s manuals, a copy of the window sticker (9,904 1972 dollars!) and a build sheet found beneath the seat. Driven locally since re-commissioning and it gets better with every mile. Great car with nothing to hide and few needs. INSPECTIONS ARE ENCOURAGED, see and know what you are buying. I am 30 mi NW of Chicago, IL., a service lift is on site.
A $500 deposit is due on auction close. Balance must be paid either with cash in person or a verified bank transfer before either the car or title will be conveyed. Shipping, if desired, is the buyer"s responsibility. I will cooperate with your shipper and store the car for up to 14 days at no cost so shipping may be arranged.
PLEASE don"t bid unless you have ready funds to buy
