To answer a few q's and thanks for helping me out.
I am in California. I have access to paperwork on the car from day 1 at the dealer. The car was originally bought by a college girl in San Jose, CA. It then went to another female college student. Last, it ended up in a 3rd female college student's posession, who kept it.
According to her, the car was apparently not Wimbleton White from the factory and believes it as probably New Lime Green?? If you can believe this, the car has never been in an accident and does not have bondo.
That car is what you see. The passenger's rear quarter panel had a small incident from her son backing in to a fence post. I believe it was at that time, the current owner who loves Wimbleton White, decided thats what color it should be. When I looked under the car, I did not see rust. I did see what looked like rust under the hood though. I would expect on a car this old, it has to have some somewhere.
I am no fan of Wimbleton White nor New Lime and in fact kid of liked the
Aqua or Jade Green colors, but would like to remain true to the origin of the car if bought.
As far as I know, its a 351-4V (air cleaner and deck ht; I am familiar w/FORD small blocks), Auto (FMX), forgot gear ratio. This was confirmed w/the vin# when I last saw it. So, basically its a fastback w/a 351-4V, auto.
The car actually runs but owner prefers not to crank it after sitting all this time.
