This car has air conditioning but it is not currently charged (compressor is free) but it is not working. The seats, carpet and vinyl top were changed to black as well. As for the stuff that doesn't look correct, the first owner did not like the rose colored stuff on the car and had the dash dyed (you can see the rose underneath the black in the pictures). The rear bumper has some chrome peeling off of it. Most of the pictures should explain the car, but the headliner does have a couple of holes in it and the lower seat will need re-upholstered as well. There was an exhaust leak on the passengers side manifold and there was a light drip of trans fluid starting last year (probably a seal from sitting). It was in running and driving condition before entering storage in the fall (battery might need recharged when getting out of storage). The car was not driven much by the 2nd owner. I am currently the 3rd owner of this t-bird. Pictures listed on here are also from before it went into storage right before winter, and with that being said, this car has a 390 V8 with an automatic transmission with 11,408 miles on the odometer, note mileage might not be actual, because the motor has been gone through by previous owner. This car is currently in a storage facility, so just to let the winning bidder know, that it will take a little bit of time to get it out due to other cars being parked in the way.
