1973 mark 5
17k miles.
the real thing.
my dads mechanic in the rural maine woods..
this was in a barn that collapsed.
one owner.
with permission I got aphoto.. and forgot name and details.(I could ask dad)
I could not believe it, until he opened the door.
I remember these styles on the road.. the doors always have rattles, windows moving.
solid as a tank...opening and closing
interior flawless.
left rear quarter has paint fade, no dents anywhere.
needs front left blinker lense.
the fade is the one spot sunshine got a glimpse of it.
barn collapsed around it..
it sat there for decades...still a waterproof roof over it.
actual real life barn find (literal). the old owner was so proud he put his name tag on the dash...it is still there.
17k miles
valve seals shot (of course -predates viton)
no taps rattles bangs..started right up with a throttle pump (close auto choke) and apuff of blue
no misses...well into the 9's to 1 compression at least..
original ac pump, original everything.
all glass good, all trim, no rips in roof cloth
looking at manifolds, it is 49 state emissions, no extra piping or EGR by factory.
460 4 barrel to clean up worthwhile.
$10k cash takes it.(not kidding)
never seen anything like it, even when they were available on the road.
I got permission to take photo, the owner is dads mechanic.
yes, the lights still open and close
