White/white top, with red bucket seat interior. Original numbers-matching 401 with Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission w/ center consol-shift, manual brakes, and power steering. Body-off restoration of the chassis, fuel/brake lines, floor/trunk pans, springs/suspension, brakes, and engine bay, with new body mounts throughout. BFG G70-14R radials on period-correct American Racing TorqueThrust grey-spoked aluminum wheels. Body shows an old re-paint, and the original power top is fully-functional but discolored; seat covers/carpet were replaced in '02, and the door panels remain the originals. Strictly garage-kept, but driven daily as weather permits, this is a tight, sweet-driving Gran Sport without the squeeks and rattles normally associated with vintage convertibles. She's a 3-owner classic..... pure as the wind-driven snow, completely road-worthy, smooth-riding, and with the effortless power typical of the 'Nailhead torque-monsters'. Not yet a showcar (but a true '20-footer'), she attracts a lot of attention wherever she goes....as would any well-built middle-aged lady with her top down! Springtime is coming.... Price is $16,500 (sunglasses included) in Kentucky.
I'm interested please send me some pics . I have family in Ironton , Ohio which is right across the river . About how far is that from you ? I'm in Ca Thanks , Mike send pics to mikesgmtoys@earthlink.net
Bob That is a great verbal/humourous description of your car, sounds good,should sell fast. Good Luck
Car looks good wish I could afford it ! Someone will have a cool summer toy . Thanks again for pics and good luck . Mike :beer
Thanks to all for the numerous inquiries regarding my ol' ragtop, but having thought more about it, I'm gonna keep it; spend $6-8,000 finishing her up; drive, show, and enjoy her; and hopefully realize $10-12,000 additional selling price in a few more years..... if I'll have the heart to sell her. I bought a new Stage 1 hardtop in '72, but the 65s were always my favorites. I wish the best of luck to all in your search for a convertible... there's nothing quite like 'em! Thanks again.... /Bob :3gears:
And that said, the topless middle aged lady with her top down, is teasin this younger stud as I hoped she had not....LOL Glad you decided to keep it...I could never part with my sweethearts...Later :3gears:
Gary / Moz , Just curious could you post a picture or two of your 65 thin pillar coupe ? Thank you , George
