Thanks all,
I will be paying the balance of what I owe the guy tomorrow and will get some pics soon after. so for now a brief description will have to do, its a pale yellow car with a matching vinyl roof, 225 /6 automatic. though there is some rust beginning it is not eaten any holes yet (though the trunk floor will need some TLC ASAP), The interior is tan and yellowish as well and is immaculate (this is what sold me on the car as my fairlane was thrashed)
There is a story behind this buy as well, likely boring but I will recount it here for anyone interested.
There were 2 cars for sale, a green 73 4 door dart custom and the yellow swinger, I drove past these cars for almost a month avoiding stopping to look at them. I knew he would either want too much or would be reasonable and I was one broke and two already driving my 67 fairlane everywhere and am not in a position to have 2 cars I cant drive in the winter. Well my Dad saw the green one and wanted to look at it so I like an idiot went with him. Of course I fell in love with the condition of the body and interior of that swinger. Before I knew it I had for sale signs in the Fairlane. Now the swinger needed work to run and drive while the fairlane was a daily summer driver at this point (I did and still do love that ford) but the interior was thrashed and the body has some rot in the rear fenders, not to mention I knew I was gonna have to overhaul the engine in the next couple of years. All of this made me decide it was better to have a body and interior that needs next to nothing with an engine that might need some work vs what I had, thus the for sale signs. less than 2 weeks later the fairlane is sold and the dart is almost mine. the best part of all this is that the car needs a carb rebuild, a brake master and a wiper motor, all of which I was told today is being done at his cost along with 2 new tires before I take the car!!! :toothy8:
Cant beat that!!
