That was all the original codes and equipment. Now:
The engine is a rebuilt, bored out 10K 90s vintage 351W with high performance heads, Edlebrock Performer dual plane 4V intake, Edlebrock 600 CFM 4V carb, and dual exhaust. It only has about 1000 miles on it.
The transmission was rebuilt and works fine, but has always leaked a little. I have tried to correct the leak without any luck.
I replaced most all the components of the air conditioner, but never had it recharged, I think it should work, the clutch engages and the fan comes on and inside as it should.
I had the top replaced a few years ago, and it raises and lowers like it should. It does have the boot to cover it when down.
I replaced the seats with Mustang seats with hopes of having the original seats reuholstered some day. Of course the original seats go with the car.
I had so much trouble with the vacuum system, that I finally removed all of it except the power brake vacuum booster. I replaced the headlight vacuum covers with electric, and I think it works much better, and now the vacuum advance on the engine works much better.
I rebuilt the power window system with relays, and replaced the bad switches so the windows all work. The windows do need a little adjusting though to close and line up right.
The carpet has also been replaced.
I do have a full set of nearly perfect side windows that again I had plans of one day installing. And they too will go with the car.
The only things that do not work are the low fuel light, the electric trunk release, and the clock.
Both bumpers are bright and shiny, but need some work. The rear has two dents, and the front does not line up quite right.
The body is not great. I think it has too much bondo. I have looked for replacement parts, but convertible parts are very rare.
The car is located in The Colony TX, just north of Dallas.
Asking price is $25000
