Purchased May 11, 2002 from a guy in Minnesota. It's been a Minnesota car all its life and you can tell. Its had some previous bodywork, not very good, and a repaint, not bad actually. Unfortunately, there is some rust in the rear frame rail that needs to be repaired. However the interior is in GREAT shape with minimal wear. And who doesn't like the cool F-85 specific steering wheel and a rubber floor mat instead of carpeting. The body damage in front happened to the guy I bought it from. It was parked in the street and a garbage trunk hit it. The bad thing is, there is a hole in the bumper, so it can't just be straightened and rechromed, it has to be replaced.
The plan for this car is it will be my street/strip toy. I plan
on adding a wing (in a different trunk lid, this one is mint. surprisingly
mint considering it's a Minnesota car.) and also a ram air hood.
I have a set of SSII that need to be blasted and painted before going on.
I hate the American Racing rims that are on it now. But two of the
tires are practically brand new. I'm torn between swapping in a 455
I have or using the current 350 and making a W-31 clone. Right now,
the only body work I'm planning is having the frame repaired and a section
of the trunk floor replaced. I will swap on a better set of front
fenders and doors when the price is right. Both front and rear window
channels are excellent and rust free. Another surprise, considering
it's a Minnesota car.

The first thing I did was remove the godawful white mud flaps.
