DESCRIPTION:

Please texts only - do not send emails. Offers only considered in person.
Mainly selling as it's too big for the garage; I rarely drive it anymore since my wife passed.

Bought this at auction in Nov 2023. Always loved this one-year front "sharknose" design.
Refer to Marti report in ad. I have not confirmed this is the original engine, but car is no longer original anyway so...

Car was born as a 4-spd/yellow w/black painted hood/white&black int; now has a C6 auto. Has 9-inch rear which could be original. VIN/Marti show as a Q-code motor. Originally sold in Phoenix AZ; had AZ plates when I got it. Registered in CA as commercial truck.

Pictures pretty much speak for condition. I'd say it's a nice daily driver great for local car shows. No significantly noticeable dents/dings/scratches to even mention.
Overall rust free and in good mechanical/operating shape (see notes below).
I had new pushrods and PS pump rebuild done in April 2024. Have docs on that.
I've taken it to Pomona once after the top-end work with no issues.
New Battery 4/2025.

Unfortunately I just don't know much about its history. As with any old car there are a few specific notes:
*A/C works but is no longer cooling
*Speedo/odo/tach work but do not read accurately - has a later 140 cert speedo.
*Has 78/79 T-Bird power seat that stopped working a while back.
*Has under-dash starter button - suspect a problem in the ignition. Has a tilt column that doesn't work and is loose, horn not working and reverse lights don't work - suspect this is all related to the steering column/neutral safety switch. Doesn't affect the car's operation.

Happy to answer any Q's for the seriously interested.
As stated above pls text first to establish a dialogue; just easier for me.

Thank you for taking the time to look!
