A excellent car in great condition that will be fun to cruise in. It was a very solid car when we personally restored and started on it with only a few minor rust areas that we fixed with metal. We did a complete repaint in the factory black and is a nice job, i would consider it excellent driver quality and could be shown. New parts- interior was redone including carpet, door panels, seats, weatherstrip and new aluminum trim. Mechanically- rebuilt carburetor, fixed the ac, replaced the neutral safety switch and worked on the brakes, fuel pump, oil pressure switch, coil, points , rebuilt transmission, and new gaskets in the motor. We also converted it to an alternator and installed a new battery. It is a 390 v8, 4 barrel carburetor, automatic trans, air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. It does have the rear fender skirts. Trunk and rngine compartment have been detailed. This is a very presentable car with the biggest issues being the chrome trim and bumpers showing some age including pitting, minor damage and scratches and the dash having some cracking around the speaker cover. This tbird goes down the road excellent, smoothly and straight. We have personally done the restoration and drove it to make sure everything is good. Bnbautosales.
