This car is like new and would be an excellent buy if it goes for under 30,000.http://www.network54.com/Forum/message?forumid=74182&messageid=1094434810

Galaxies have a special place in my heart! That is one nice 406. But three on the tree? I would venture a guess that this is really a frame off restored car being made to "look" like something very rare. To my knowledge, Ford never released a 4-speed race care with the shift on the tree, so I'm playing the :bs: card on that one.

The up side is that it looks very nice! Can't fault the workmanship and it would look nice sitting next to my MM in the garage! Too bad I'm broke!

While I'm up here in Mich and won't be able to personally look at the car, if you are to believe what he has for sale is a car with under 1,000 org. miles and is all org.
On the 3 on the tree ? , I put that question to the forum, here's what I got so far.....http://www.network54.com/Forum/message?forumid=74182&messageid=1094508843

Thanks for the follow-up.

Yep, I was right about the frame-off... At least I learned something about the trannies.

One day left on this one and it's still just under 30, I wonder what it'll go for.
