Produced on June 16, 1971 and sold to Babylon Ford in New York, this convertible was equipped with a nice balance of performance and convenience options. When purchased by the current owner, it was wearing all of its original trim and equipment and about 75% of its original paint, but it showed the wear and tear of its 119,000 miles, including several New York Winters. The original, VIN-stamped drivetrain was tired and there was evidence of previous rust repair patchwork that needed to be redone. With only 183 four-speed convertibles produced in 1971, it was decided that the car was worthy of a complete restoration. |
