Detailed to look concourse! "A" code performance 289 plus a 4 speed
manual with the GT package makes this a highly desirable car. #'s
match motor, trans, carb, paint, and interior. What you see here is
virtually the way it rolled off the showroom floor! This
thoroughbred is ready to run!
EXTERIOR: Factory colors! The J code Rangoon Red paint was applied
with tremendous detail then polished to a smooth and glossy finish.
You could read our sales contract in the reflection. Looking down
the side of the body it is remarkably straight. All the panels have
been nicely aligned and the doors close easily with minimal effort.
The front grille with GT fog lamps looks like new. The chrome
bumpers and polished trim pieces all have a lustrous shine. The GT
exhaust tips exiting through the rear valance are just too cool.
The black power top is in fantastic condition. It has dual side
view mirrors as well. "GT" and "289" badges embellish the fenders.
It's sitting on the correct 14" GT wheels wrapped in reproduction
dual red line tires.
INTERIOR: Factory code 66 Deluxe "pony" interior. This includes the
molded door panels with "knife" handles and of course deluxe
upholstery with the running ponies on them. Rally Pac gauges with
Tach, and clock. Nice center console with correct style 4 speed
manual shifter. A retro stereo fits in the factory hole. The dash
area is in excellent condition. The carpet was replaced and has
reproduction floor mats. What a beautifully refurbished
interior!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: #'s matching! Completely rebuilt at time of
restoration. "A" code in the VIN designates the high performance
289 V-8. It makes 225 hp and comes with a 4 barrel carb. This one
is correct with codes C5AE-6015 and date 5C9Z. Highly detailed
engine compartment to concours standards. Date coded plug wires,
reproduction hoses and clamps, Motorcraft battery topper, Autolite
alternator and even a reproduction Motorcraft oil filter. The horns
and squirters are hooked up plus the latch assembly is brand
new.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are
painted slick just like the body. The weatherstrip and latch
mechanism were both replaced. Inside is all clean and solid metal
painted Rangoon Red. It comes with a full size spare and a trunk
mat.
UNDERSIDE: The steering components look great and work well. Front
suspension is super nice with a big fat sway bar and fresh
bushings. The rear suspension has been refurbished and has leaf
springs with newer shocks. It's equipped with front disc and rear
drum brakes. Nice full dual exhaust system with a crossover pipe,
mufflers, resonators, and GT trumpet style tips exiting through the
rear valance. The gas tank and fuel pump were both replaced.
Looking up at the #'s matching 289 engine it has nice black paint
and a reproduction oil filter. The close ratio 4 speed manual
transmission also looks nice and clean. That transfers power to the
9" rear end with 3.00 gearing. The floors are rust free with a
coating of satin black paint.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and adjusted the timing, fixed a
vacuum leak, replaced carb (original stays with car), replaced
reverse light bulbs, replaced shifter bushings, replaced brake
pedal pad, replaced a headlamp, reattached the door panel, oiled
the blower, replaced power top cylinders, fixed brake lights,
aligned the windows and lubed the driver's window.
This is a very sought after car that won't drain the 401k! The #'s
matching drivetrain and detailed concourse restoration elevate it
to investment grade status. The decision is simple. What are you
waiting for? Contact our sales department today and get this pony
delivered to your stable!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
