Grab a beer - this might take a while.
I bought this in '81 when I was in southern OR. We spent 10 years in
SoCal; 10 years in AZ; and the last 15 or so in north/central AR. It has
been garaged the whole time. The only rust I know of is a little bubbling
where the original license plate mount used to be.
It was bastardized about 20 or 25 years ago as a response to the GMC
Cyclone. Turbo 3.8 out of a T-Bird/AOD out of a Mustang/Granada 3.50
rearend. Front end is '88 Ranger twin I-beam, using the original spring
mounts.
PS/PB (disc front) are genuine EB. Vintage Air A/C. VDO gauges. Alpine
AM/FM/Cassette - yeah, dinosaur. Aftermarket PW motors died, so I
went back to cranks, but it is wired. Aftermarket PL.
About 10 years ago the turbo gave up, so a 2003 Mustang 3.8/AODE
went in. FI & trans controlled by Megasquirt and Baumann controllers.
About 40k on them at this point.
Body mods include bobbed frame horns & roll pans front/rear. Class II
hidden hitch behind the license plate. Reversed front fenders used for
rear quarter w/o's. Chevy dually marker lights. Complete redesigned
dash. Three fuel tanks.
When I started this I had 4 EB's and wanted something different. It is.
Now it's time to simplify and downsize, so I'd like to see someone on here
get this. You could probably drive it home, but I'd rather say come and
pick it up, get it home and check everything out. Who knows how the
hoses/belt, etc are going to react as it has been sitting for a while. I'm
open to offers as well.
