Would you sell just the Blue Upbeat stripe seats

I believe that I have a pair of the blue striped seats in my interior parts storage building. I would need to look to be sure and if I do have them to tell you anything about their condition.

It is tough for me to put a value on it. It is a Special order car for the Ford Advertising Department. I am still trying to figure out who’s signature is on the invoice. ??? I still don’t know what it was used for. Order Type: “Special Purpose Vehicle”. ??? Checking to see if it is an advertising car or a show car or, well, I don’t know. It is tough to find information from 50 years ago.

The engine was hotrodded when I purchased it 20yrs ago and the correct heads, intake, carb and exhaust were missing, I have not really tried to hunt down the original parts. Instead I sent it to a machine shop and rebuilt it the best I could with mostly what I had. The current non factory matching parts are: 2V heads with extensive porting and rework with roller setup, edelbrock intake, Edelbrock carb. and Hooker Super Comp headers as well as some internal changes such as cam, pistons, torque converter, gears and posi.

I wouldn’t know what to ask for it.

Very cool!

Could you post a few pics of the interior? I’m interested in seeing the dash and steering wheel pad especially ~ I understand the GT’s got a black camera case steering wheel pad.

Unfortunately, the steering wheel is another item stripped from the car before I got a hold of it. My understanding is it came with a 3 spoke Rim blow steering wheel. The guy I bought it from picked it up at a Federal Auction as it had been seized by the Imigration and Naturalization Service, as it was called at the time. I left the I.N.S. sticker on the windshield as part of the provenance. And somewhere on the internet I have seen the Auction listing record many years back. He then sent it to Tijuana for Paint and Interior. The paint job was pretty good but the interior material for the inserts was not to good and the bolster color was off a little. But the worst thing they did was glue some padded vinyl to the worn door panels, so I eventually need to get some door panels too.

Fortunately he didn’t know the value of the vehicle and I got it for a good price.
