312ci for this "C" series which now comes with a 4-barrel

in this engine during its total rebuild. Fresh paint just last
year, and now talk about suburban driveway jewelry envy! When you
pen a thin bodied, long hood with a scoop, and canted tail fin 2
seater car, throw on some jet age styling for the taillights, give
it a hardtop option complete with a porthole window and has a
convertible underneath, add on fender skirts, a wrap around
windshield, and some chromed trimmings, you have this car. All
straight steel bathed in white paint showing like it was just
sprayed last year...and it was. Mirror like chrome bumpers, egg
crate grille, and for the rear in bumper exhaust ports, this car
screams steel sex. A white canvas convertible top is underneath the
white porthole fiberglass hardtop and presents as very clean and
tear free with a clear rear window in plastic. With the hardtop,
convertible up and down you are basically getting 3 totally
different looking cars, and the ability to use year round. Before I
move on, we need to give a shout out to the Ford dish styled ribbed
wheel coverings wrapped in wide whites. White vinyl mixes with
machined swirl pattern aluminum inserts for the door handles and
actuator. Some slight smudging and light dirt are seen on this door
panel. Speaking now of the seat, it's a gorgeous white bench with
tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters that curves neatly into
the body styling and allows for the top to hide behind it. For the
dash a big curved overhanging cowl in padded white vinyl for the
topper, and more machined aluminum and a litany of round gauges and
chrome bezel black knobs and pulls. A town and country radio is
neatly installed and as we gaze across this big padded curved top
dash we can note temp, fan controls, and a nearly hidden glove box,
but the deeply inset keyhole gives it away. A metal lower dash also
in painted white and some white kick side panels contrasted by
black carpet, and original steering wheel clean as a whistle, and
you will be left awestruck. Drivetrain A flip of the front hinged
hood and more bling with some sting with 312 cubes of "Y" block
power. Painted a beautiful red, shoehorned into a totally restored
engine bay, and some "G" code bigger heads now strapped on and
topped with cast and ribbed polished winged valve covers. On top is
a 4-barrel carb and on back a 3-speed Ford-O-Matic tranny. The rear
axle takes the brunt of this power with a 9-inch sporting 3.10
gears. Just wonderful underneath this scooped hood. Noted is a
chromed "spaceship" styled air cleaner covering floating over the 4
BBLs. Ver-uuuuhmmmm! Undercarriage Showing nicely and original,
rust free X framing and floor pans, reworked suspension which is
independent coil springs for the front, and leaf springs on the
back, and they look used but in good condition. Power drum brakes
are on all 4 corners, and a solid exhaust system is now on
