Power Top, New Wheels and Tires, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Engine Upgrades

The paint, upholstery, carpet, and top were all done about six years ago, but still have the appearance of being new from just a short distance away. Itâ??s been garaged and/or covered since then. I have all receipts. The 289 V8 starts right up and runs strong. The combination of the chrome Hedman headers and Flowmaster mufflers give it an aggressive, but not over-the-top exhaust note. The three-speed C4 automatic transmission shifts cleanly. As with a lot of these old Fords, thereâ??s a little slop in the column shifter, but it goes into gear easily and stays put. The cylinder heads are from a 302, which gives it a higher compression ratio than stock. That, coupled with the high-flow intake, upgraded 4-barrel Holley Dominator carburetor, long-tube headers, and a top-of-the-line Pertronix ignition system likely put the motor at about 275 horsepower, with just as many foot-pounds of torque. Itâ??s no monster, but will get up and go!
