    My Nieghbor down the street over the small hill had a white one that I just loved to hear it's hushed fury noise as it was driven down the grade past our house. Brand new then and always clean with the windows fully rolled down- represented to me in no uncertain terms Ford's theme "Total Peformance" .

    Like you said, don't see very many of those anymore. Looks great. Supposedly it's the widest car Ford ever made

    @HALLSYSKITCHEN Yeah, this one is a pretty rare find. I like that the 390 has the 3x2 carb setup on it. Thanks for checking it out!

    @RamblinAround Yeah love the car but that continental kit would have to go first thing. I never did like the look of them on cars. To me it just ruins the whole look of the car. Nice price on it too. I sure would rather spend that for a car like this instead of a Honda.

    @paradoxdesigns I know, that back bumper is wild isn't it. It really is a rare and unique machine though. Thanks for taking a look!

    with that boat deck out back this must be the safest car to ever be rear-ended in. clean machine!

    You're right Jeff, you don't see them everyday. I don't even remember this model when I was a young buck lol. I would love to have a closer look at that 79 Caprice in the back ground. Great Vid Jeff!

    @monarch1957 I know that I rarely see one of these. There can't be too many out there. Thanks for taking a look!

    Wow man, real nice. So was the '62 or 3 bug in the background. A friend used to have the same motor in a T Bird.

    That is a very rare car I like the red and white color sceme, there were a lot more 2 door hardtops with the Thunderbird roofline up here.

    @azzarbprime I'm sure that bumper was considered ultra cool at the time. It's a little much for my taste, but I love the car. It should be a strong runner with that 390 under the hood. Thanks for watching, Mike.

    @llamafun5 I don't have a video of it right now, but I'll keep it in mind when I go back up there. Thanks for watching!

    @hunhun23 It really is a nice one and pretty rare too. Thanks for checking it out!

    That is a great classic Ford, Jeff.
    And the price is very good...and the 'extended bumper' was the 'in' thing in those days.
    My relative owned a Mercury with that same kind of bumper.
