This is very beautiful midnight BLUE Authentic California Car with A CLEAN TITLE, and the original Ford Auto Works Marti Report, confirming the rarity of this particular car.

THIS CAR HAS POWER EVERYTHING: POWER WINDOWS, POWER TOP, EVEN POWER DRIVER'S SEAT ADJUSTMENT- THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS POWER OPERATED, AND IT WORKS. FMX Automatic factory transmission 351 Cleveland 2v. 76373 ORIGINAL MILES. There ARE very small areas of rust on the steel floor, but it CAN be patched up. See photos below, but please read this WHOLE ad, everything is stated here. It's as good as being in front of the car.

Along with the Marti report, I have the original CA title to the car, it is currently registered, insured, indoor garaged, and I drive it whenever the weather is permitting. Most of the receipts of work, repair, or upgrades done to this car are in my possession. I have owned the car for just about ten years, and the following are additions/upgrades I have made on the car:
* Power Top Motor
* New white vinyl top with GLASS window (replaced several years ago)
* Flowmaster "Delta Flow" series dual exhaust muffler and pipes
* Ford Motorcraft aftermarket 2v carburetor
* New alternator
* ALL belts: (done this summer)
* Radiator
* Power steering gear box
* Power steering reservoir (TWICE)
* SHOCKS (done this Oct 2013) Monroe air shocks (rear) KYB Excel-G shocks (front) -shown in photos and VIDEO clip-
* BRAKES (front AND rears, pads AND rotors - ceramic street race kit)
* Ignition coil
* LEAF SPRINGS (this is a VERY costly and LABORIOUS repair!)
* Ignition
* New radio and interior color code matching speakers (radio is a few years old, but is ipod and satellite radio equipped)
* "Bullet-style" door locks
* New windshield wipers
* New windshield washer box
* New fuel line hoses
* The tires are new, but there is wear to the sidewalls of the rear tires.
* New 800cca performance battery
* New rear view mirror
* Replacement Ford "houndstooth" pattern trunk mat
* Recent tune up
* There was 1700.00 worth of front end work, and more additions I can't think of at the moment.

Nearly EVERYTHING on this car has been replaced, except for the engine itself, the carpet and the steel floors of the car. Some things I left as is, as it came with the car. I haven't gone too crazy under the hood, except for maintenance as needed, so all of the engine components like the air cleaner, valve covers, etc, I haven't done up all pretty. They're the stock ones that came with the car for the most part.

It is a turn-key daily driver, that looks like it could be in a car show from 15 feet away EASILY. This car has been featured by well known musicians in several music videos for its stylish appearance and uniqueness. It's definitely a celebrity looking car.

I have provided a 45 (yes FORTY FIVE) minute video of the car's performance, from the point I open the door, turn the ignition, and drive out of a garage in Westchester, and park outside of a gallery in Chelsea Manhattan to go around the car and show you the outside of the car. The video clip is a simulated ride of how the car performs: no strange noises, (JUST MOTOR and EXHAUST!), no overheating, or warning signals, no stalling. I would watch ALL of the 45 minute video. The camera is on the gauges the entire time, except for when I show the convertible power top coming down with no problem. At the end, I show the newly installed shocks and the exhaust purring. So, if you would like proof in advance of how this car runs, and that it WORKS, you have about 45 minutes of footage, and the Youtube info shows you WHEN it was uploaded. It has not been driven much since then.

I am the third owner of this car.

There are a few areas of cosmetic imperfection, and there is a small area in the rear floor that needs patching up, to make the car floors 100% defect-free. The carpet is worn down, and is probably not the original, but it's the one that came with the car when I bought it. The paint is also not original. It was painted over, before I owned it, and the ORIGINAL color is shown, in the photos with the interior, taken at night.

It was painted midnight blue, to match the famous color code of the Ford Mustangs that were made in this color code (dark blue with baby blue and white seating etc). There IS rust in the trunk but no holes rotted through. I have added pictures of this.

THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK:
*The driver's side seat belt gets stuck every now and then, I accidentally busted the housing of it.
*The center console lid is off.
*The AC/Heat system needs Fre-On. It has not been used since I bought the car in California (didn't need the AC there OR the heat).
*The oil gauge and the "amps" gauge does not work.
*The small two rear quarter windows do not roll down. (Those use a motor different from the main power window motor and they are IMPOSSIBLE to find.)
*The cigarette lighter doesn't work.
*The hazard lights need to be changed. (Fuse - very minor, I dont have the time)
*There is a small 7 inch dent on the driver side fender. It's almost unnoticeable but it's in the second photo.
These are VERY minor things that don't interfere with the performance of the car, and it still turns heads no matter what.
