Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

312/270hp, dual quads, automatic, Vintage A/C, cassette stereo, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, power steering, power brakes, hardtop only.

Condition

Very good older paint, chrome and interior. Neat, orderly engine compartment but the fan, A/C belt is misaligned, probably in the rotary A/C compressor installation. A quality older restoration that is holding up very well.

Market commentary

Always popular and with enough power from the dual quad engine for it to keep up with modern traffic, the Vintage A/C doesn't hurt its value (except for the belt issue) as it is an accepted upgrade by T-bird clubs to enhance using their cars. Its restoration (said to date back to ancient history -- the 1980's) is holding up impressively and it could have brought the low estimate without being expensive
