I found this car while garage sale hopping a few days ago. It was back between a couple houses with the rear toward the street. It looked like it had been sitting parked for awhile. I got out and noticed the tag expired almost a year ago so I knocked on the door. A lady came to the door and I asked if they’d be interested in selling it. She said the car didn’t run and that they were thinking about selling it to a junk yard. I told her I had a ‘92 and wouldn’t mind having an extra parts car. I left my number so that she could check with the Hubby.
I didn’t hear from them the next day and I didn’t want to push them so I waited and went back on day 3. The Hubby was home this time and he said ”The thing’s a beat up piece and I want it out of the drive so give me $50 and you do whatever you want with it”. I raced to get the dolly and $50 and towed her back to the shop.
It’s rougher than a cob and the motor’s shot (350,000). The only decent panel on it is the driver fender and the roof rack looks like it came of an early 70 station wagon but it has.....
2 new WANLI 12"ers,
A battery that’s less than a year old,
It’s a factory A/C car,
Full coverage trim panels and driver’s door map pocket (right side pocket gone),
Rear defroster glass with dash switch,
New fuel pump,
Good smoothie tail lamps (been patiently waiting for these),
Tach cluster,
About $3.50 in loose change and a new quart of 5W-30
Best of all.... The Ford logo pop-up sunroof -TOO COOL!!!
If you consider the quart of oil would run $2, then add that to the change in the floor, I picked up the car for $44.50. WOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
This may be the car I’ve been wanting for my custom trailer project.
