    I will take ANYTHING you can find. My orange car sold there new and I have some of the original paperwork but would love to have more.

    ahhh

    well thats makes sense, hard to imagine the interior would be in as near perfect condition on a 42 year old car, thanks for clearing that up, well the paint is original thats for certain, lol.

    I will see what I can dig up for you, that dealer has been out of business for many many years but I will do some digging, however don't get your hopes up on obtaining paperwork of any kind hence those documents have long since been destroyed I'm sure.

    no

    No it was torn down several years back to make way for a Home Depot, a new Ford Dealership was built approx 2 miles down the interstate just as you enter Jacksonville whereas Aclin was located at the exit near the entrance to the LRAFB, currently the Ford dealer is Crain Ford, they own multiple brand dealerships and are without a doubt the most unethical crooked dealer in Arkansas! IMO.

    No luck

    I have been unable to find anything on Aclin Ford other than generic stuff that is public record such as years of business, etc.

    ALSO the great little car tossed a few pushrods, seems previous owner had neglected regular oil changes and I just am not gonna take on another project, hence the car is going to be parted out or sold, I will be placing a ad in a day or two in "for sale" section once I can get an idea of fair prices to charge for a given part.

    p.s. the small bumpers are spoken for already, lol

    looks like it will be a nice car to cruise around in EVEN if it is a 4 door the more you cruise that the less likely a two door will get smashed (y)

    I can see a lot of potential in that car - 4 doors are really popular these days :)
