11,755 actual mile survivor! Gorgeous triple white dreamboat.
Exceptionally clean original condition. It has an oil change
sticker from 1985 and it had 9,500 miles. It also has an oil change
sticker from 1998 with just over 11,000 miles. The original 1974
Pennsylvania inspection sticker is still on the windshield. We also
have a deluxe Marti Report.
EXTERIOR: Original paint! The body is pristine. I did not find any
signs of damage or rust. Typically a survivor would still have some
scrapes or dents after 48 years, not this one. The paint is
amazing. It looks practically new new, not cracked, faded or
scratched. Glossy finish all around. The factory pinstripe is
painted on and not rubbed thin. The plastic fillers between the
body and bumpers are excellent. The original glass is crystal
clear. The chrome and trim is very shiny and straight. The vinyl
top is bright white, no splits. Beautiful polished aluminum wheels
with dual stripe tires. Clean original jambs, weatherstrips are
still soft.
INTERIOR: Stunning white leather interior. All original and
practically still new. Door panels are mint. The pull straps on the
door panels are almost always cracked, not on this one. Dash area
looks new including the lenses, plastic trim, dash pad etc. It has
optional tilt wheel, 8-track stereo, rear defroster. Not smoked in,
the ashtrays and lighters are clean. The white leather seats are
still excellent. Remember this is 46 years old and it's white! I
can't believe how nice it looks. Plush carpet, excellent
headliner.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Big 460 mill under the hood with a 4 barrel
carb. Very well preserved original motor compartment. All of the
vacuum lines and hoses are hooked up properly. It still has
assembly line stamps, stickers and markings. The air cleaner
assembly is complete with hoses and heat riser tube. Features
include power steering, power brakes, cruise control and air
conditioning. The a/c has been updated to R134 freon.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Carpeted wall to wall with matching tire cover.
Full size original Michelin spare. I don't think the jack or spare
have ever been removed from the car. The white paint under the
trunk lid and the jamb are all original and glossy. It even has the
factory ink stamps. The trunk light works. The original
weatherstrip is excellent. There's mild discoloring on the
carpet.
UNDERSIDE: Very original, well preserved underside. It still has
assembly line markings and tags in place. It even has the original
muffler with the Ford logo. New resonator and tail pipe. Original
heavy duty C6 automatic has original tag. The trans pan is clean, I
assume it has been off and serviced. The original rear end still
has the original tag on it. It has a 2.73 cruising gear. There are
disc brakes in front, e-brake assembly is hooked up. They also
serviced the fuel system. It looks like the tank and fuel pump were
replaced. It has sway bars front and back.
These big land yachts are very desirable. They will never build
them like this again. The feeling you get when you sit in the big
leather seat and you long down a hood that seems to go on forever.
Wait til you get going down the road, the ride is amazing! This is
one of the best survivors I've seen.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.
Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
will be given a 1 year membership.
