I have come across a real find. A friend of mine, who works for a law firm, is handling the liquidation of an estate which includes a 66 C code convertible. She knew I had an interest in vintage Stangs so called me to check it out.
The car has been in a garage in Colorado (dry) since 1977 when it was last plated. The odometer reads 22,371 which is probably original miles because the pedal rubber shows no wear. The car still has the local dealer emblem. Unfortunately I cannot document the mileage. Structurally the car is in excellent shape. There is no rust to be found anywhere on the car. There is a large, but very fixable, dent in the middle/front of the right door that includes part of the right fender. The door works fine, no glass is broken.
The wiring is fine, no dry rot. The rubber trim is good and the top looks new.
The car is sitting on 4 flat tires. Fortunately someone took the battery out. The question I have is what has to be done with the fluids (gas, oil, coolant) to get the car running again. Do I have to change gas tanks and fuel lines? What about suspension, will the springs need to be changed?
Details: Auto, PS, Emblerglo, parchment std interior, visibility package, 6 rear axel (2.80:1 ???)and somebody added after market cruise control.
