I am getting too old to take care of her anymore. I purchased this car in 1966, the year I graduated from College. I have been the only owner she has ever had. She has been a go-to-work car all of her life (except for a brief successful courtship run from Arkansas to Mississippi in 1968. The object of my affection turned out to own a 66 Mustang also... same color but that is another story). I retired in 2006 and now I use it mostly to go to the airport to teach flying. She is all original everywhere except for the engine compartment. She now has an aluminum radiator with an electric fan which resolved the over heating problem I experienced in 100 deg stop and go traffic. I replaced the old noisy piston air conditioning compressor with a more efficient rotary compressor. It now cools icy cold, better than it did new. I replaced the old stock carburetor with a two barrel Holly. It has a new design high torque starter which starts the car in about one second of cranking. She has a new design high current alternator that powers everything with enough power to make the headlights look white hot. The power steering is all new, not overhauled, and now provides one finger turning even when stationary. She has been painted three times, three engines (289s) and the body was completely restored from the wheels up in mid 2008 with some additional paint touch-up in early 2011 and again in late 2012.
I have spared no expense. The car is solid, looks great, runs great and drives just like it did right off the assembly line. Like a good parent taking care of the family, she has always been to the best doctors and every sniffle has been tended to. And like a parent who has tirelessly done their best, there comes a time for the kids to leave home and make their own way in the world.
I am asking $29,500 for this vintage, well cared for beauty.
