I bought this car 3 years ago.  For the past 33 years this has been only a show car, winning a room full of trophies.  Always garaged.  Used only in shows and parades.  No dents or dings.  No rust or other corrosion.  Runs, drives and shows impressively.  The yellow paint is probably enamel and does not have the same high luster as today's urethanes and epoxies.  It could be improved with a clearcoat or by repainting.  The chrome and stainless steel trim, bumpers and interior parts are excellent.  The convertible top has a plastic weld seam repair 1 inch long.  It is nearly invisible.  The interior is excellent.  Everything works as it should including locks, switches, instruments, lights and accessories.  When I got the car, I had it thoroughly inspected for mechanicals and hidden damage.  The front ball joints and steering bushings showed some wear and I had them replaced.  Front end was then aligned and certified.  At that time I replaced the stock steel wheels and hubcaps with Thunderbird wire wheels and radial tires by Coker.  The Coker wire wheels accommodate tubeless tires and these are tubeless.  Greatly improved ride and handling.  Complete brake job with new wheel cylinder kits, brake shoes, turned drums.  250 miles on the new tires.
Engine is 352 ci, originally with a 2 barrel carb.  It got poor mileage and I replaced it with a Road Demon, progressive 4 barrel.  Much improved performance and mileage.  In order to retain the stock appearance of the engine, the 4 barrel intake manifold is a Ford cast iron part (really hard to find).  With the stock air cleaner on, you can't tell that the carb was changed.  Dual exhaust includes Cherry Bomb glasspack mufflers that sound strong without being annoying.

Transmission: Ford Cruise-O-Matic.  Power steering.  Non-power brakes.  I kept the original steel wheels with mounted tires and hubcaps.  They go with the car if you want them.  Original keys.  Original owner's manual, spare tire, jack, lug wrench.

It is difficult for a buyer to get complete answers to questions by emal through a third party.  I welcome your questions directly to me by phone or email or through E-Bay.  Brian: 505-573-7024, malpais25@msn.com.  If you have a general interest question, post it on E-Bay.

This car is a rare and unusual find.  It turns heads wherever it goes.  Bet you can't find another one in this excellent condition.  
Payment:  $500 down through Paypal and balance by bank ACH.
Delivery:  You pick it up (Albuquerque area) or you arrange shipping and I will assist in any way I can.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
