    Getting dropped off at my house, of course big ol’ sloppy rain/snow bringing it home from the transport yard about an hour away.

    Barely fits in the garage but it’s in!

    302 with a C4
    Duel master cylinder
    Fires right up and runs good
    Nice exhaust

    Brakes are grabby on the right front
    Gotta jiggle the shifter to get it to start ( neutral safety worn?)
    The body is good, a few bubbles here and there but not horrible
    Interior is complete and it all works
    Front seats are faded.

    Gonna year into it this weekend and see the brakes etc and post more pics.

    Again thank you @37 caddy For going to look at it and giving me an honest opinion on it.
    For the money I paid it’s in great shape, not perfect but not horrible I’m happy :)

    Cool. From being around Ford products made around that period you might think the have to jiggle the shfter to start is a safety feature as common as it is. It usually just takes an adjustment or replacing some worn pieces as you surmised.

  9. White car with a white 'vert top is classy looking. Plus the car has some chrome on it to tie it all together. Whitewalls aren't even my thing but this one pulls it off well.

    Hey it says on the Wiki those have intermittent wipers? But then it also says Ford did not use them until '69.
