For Sale: 1985 Gatsby Cabriolet in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

Stunning looks. 9,160 actual miles. Only a few hundred ever made. Has Ford mechanics, easy to service. This one cost $42,000 in 1985!

EXTERIOR: Low slung, long elegant lines reminiscent of the upper crust society of the roaring 20s. Has metal body and hood. Fiberglass fenders. Finished in a smooth, glossy candy apple red. The chrome shines like a mirror. The chrome faux exhaust system dresses up both sides of the car. It also features 6 chrome wire wheels, big chrome headlights and driving lights. In back it has a chrome trunk rack and taillights. There are also hand oiled teak wood accents. The wing windows have etched glass. Front and back it has chromed spring steel bumpers. The convertible top folds and fits nicely but does have a couple patches. Has a tan boot to cover the top when down.

INTERIOR: If your short or tall, it's fine. I'm 6 ft and fit comfortably. The woman I bought the car from is tiny, she had pedal extenders made which are included. The leather bucket seats are adjustable, driver side has lumbar too. Has complete set of Stewart Warner gauges in a wood grain dash. A very sharp looking polished wood wheel with banjo spokes was just added to the tilt column. Has seat belts, floor shifter and a stereo.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely stock Ford. The 302 V-8 has all the factory manifolds, carb, air cleaner, pulleys, brackets etc. The air conditioning, power steering is all factory Ford. The air was serviced and updated with R134 freon. The entire compartment is orderly and clean

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Completely carpeted trunk compartment. Also included is a pouch with the jack and a car cover.

UNDERSIDE: Again it is Ford mechanics. Easy to maintain. Has disc brakes and independent suspension in front. The trans is a Ford C-4 automatic trans. Has Mercury Marquis chassis that has been stretched. Dual exhaust system.

This car will turn heads like your a celebrity. Easy to maintain. Whatever you may need it is all stock Ford from the starter to the, brakes, to the rear end. It is a quality build. It is sturdy, fits nice, rides nice. You can be the Great Gatsby!
