65 conv fresh from 30 years of barn life!

Hey all.

I just aquired a 1965 Tbird, LOADED as far as I can tell. Air, power win/lock. Maroon inter (Leather), dome litght like thingy on the back top bar, power drivers seat. Front disk brakes.

On my car there is on the center council, drivers side a spin dial numbered up to 9 I think and behind it a small square knob that lifts up? What are those???

Are the power windows/locks electric or vacum controlled?


At this point the top is UP. Anyway to get the deck lid open when the car is not running???

Tim

First thing to do is get a shop manual... The switch (?) dial thing on the console is for the speed control. Lift the on/off switch and dial in the speed.
If you would like help concerning the convertible top, contact me at my email address: [email protected]. I can walk you through the procedure.

Well, after 4 hours of knuckle busting, pulling stuck plugs and valve cover off I have the motor turning freely by hand on the car.

She is now running. Great oil pressure and no smoke. Hope to get the brakes up soon and DRIVE HER!
