Paint color almost looks a little darker than original. Beautiful color in person.

That sure looks like an older style power steering pump.

It does, Kenneth, at that. And mounted in the wrong place. My 70(actually all of them) have the small plastic cap, and the pump is mounted down low. My 65 parts car has the power steering as shown on this car. Odd.

That is a beautiful car. Almost looks like a Ford color. He could get rid of that wing.

I like this car. What a masterful way to advertise.

Pretty sure that is the factory color not a ford color.


Thanks for not posting the pictures of the tall skinny dude in the hat.

Loquacious, verbose seller. 4speed ‘vert, in a great color. Needs work.

I never would have thought to include a cheesy androgynous mannequin in my For Sale pics - interesting choice to say the least...

Yeah, I found that kinda creepy. The buyer might want to sanitize the back seat .

Agreed on all the points, but at least he did not attempt to insinuate it was a W30. Basically let it be known that the car needed a restoration and no longer had the original motor. Seems more honest than some we all see.

I asked some specific questions on the carb, dist, stamps, vin, and cowl tag. here are the pics he sent - no kidding. He must work for the government and believes this is full disclosure. LOL

Well, I spy a saginaw 4 speed in the first (disclosed) pic rather than a muncie. Assume he was not planning to disclose that since it specifically says in the add that the car has its original 4 speed transmission (I guess technically it says "the previous owner said it still has its original 4 speed transmission"). Honestly though even with what is likely a small block olds and a saginaw 4 speed, 35K is not too bad for a good looking 442 driver quality convertible.

I don't have one. I knew someone years ago that had a W-30 hardtop the same color. Maybe it is the seller's lame pictures. Sold for 35k looks like.

That color looks different in sun light and overcast clouds. The car is actually lighter than pics show. I did see car in sunlight. You can also tell in some of the other pics if you look at the fender
