looks loaded
Wow! That is a really nice car for a reasonable price!
Missing auto and dimming head lights, moon/sunroof, keyless entry and a few other minor things.
Has the power recline, antenna and a few other cool things though.
I'm guessing that cable going over the top of the dizzy is a lazy hood mach cable fix?
whats that weird thing under the driver side part of the dash
Wow! No curb rash on the hub caps.
Looks like a cigarette lighter or usb add on.
It's likely a 10x better buy than the low mile 3.8 T-Bird for $15K, or whatever it is..
I believe that's an old-school alarm system. It uses a key just like the ones used on cola machines. Been awhile since I've seen one of those in action...
probably was installed a long long time ago
Heh.....I bet it's a hood lock. I see a box surrounding it, might be an alarm too..but my black '88 XR7 stick car that I bought in LI (I see this thing is in Walden...yup good ol' downstate...) had a lock just like that, same spot. Corrugated conduit with a black rubber coating, running all the way to the radiator support. Had a little magnetic key box under the driver's seat. I still have that box there. The car also had a separate alarm system. I was told the guy that built it lived in Queens. What a way of life....
Electronic climate control and leather as well.
Yup. Most certainly is.
