The Skyliner’s power-retractable “Hide-Away Hardtop” utilized a system of jacks, solenoids, limit switches, and locks to raise, lower, and secure the roof. Finished in red and white, this example features a front bumper guard, fender-mounted mirrors, chrome trim with gold aLents, fender skirts, and an extended rear bumper housing the spare tire.
14″ steel wheels are mounted with wide whitewall tires and feature chrome wheel covers with Ford-stamped centers. The car is equipped with an extended rear bumper and a Continental kit spare wheel mount.
The cabin is trimmed in two-tone red and white and the vinyl bench seats feature textured red inserts. Amenities include power windows, a power-adjustable front seat, an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette radio, and Ford “Select Aire” air conditioning.
The red steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a sweeping 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 91k miles.
The 312ci Y-block V8 is equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors and drives the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
