1967 Ford Fairlane "S" code GTA conv, Marti report, (some assembly required)

THIS IS NOT A RUST BUCKET!These rare GTA Convertibleswhen finished can bring $45,000 to $65,000 according to Hagerty valuation and even #4 cars are valued at$20,000 according to that source. My reserve is well under that figure..in fact, you could finish this project up and still be under $20K complete! Torque boxes and frame are original and solid, all floor pans have been cut out and replaced. There are 2 minor areas of rust remaining that need attention. The passenger side lower quarter. (could be patched, but replacement panel is included.The conv. top well in front of trunkhas an area of rust as well (see pictures of both of these rust issues, attached) Interior is original and only 1 seam separation on the drivers seat. The conv top has glass rear window and is believed original so with 1 small rip, could go for a replacement. Top goes up and down on its own at the flip of the switch.All glassappears original and in good shape. Transmission is a C-6 that shows signs of recent rebuild. The original 390 FE is currently at the local speed shop getting a thorough overhaul as follows: + .040 bore cylinders, turn crank, new bearings, pistons, rings, Hyd cam, lifters, pushrods, valve train assy, oil pump, and to top it off a never used set of 6090 (poor man's CJ) heads.Best of everything! As they say, all this can be yours if the price is right.NOTE: Imay consider including this offering plus some cash in trade for your quality center console 21-25'. This '67GTA is offered for sale locally and will be withdrawn from E-bay auction subject to prior sales.If you want one of these finished, I have a 66 GTA candy apple red with white interior and black top convertible that has FACTORY AIR.It is a very strong #3 to a weak #2 car; I will sell one of these or the other but not both.The '66 is NOT an item involved in this auction. Please contact me with any questions.
