Vehicle description
I understand that this is a lot of money for a project car. . I am asking for the $1,000 Buy It Now committment to establish the cred of the potential buyer. I will work with that potential buyer, sending photos &/or descriptions of whatever parts or info he/she wants to see. If he/she is not satisifed with the info provided, I will return the $1,000 Paypal deposit. I want to see the car go to someone who not only appreciates it but has the determination to finish it. There are some awesome early Birds out there. .this could easily be another one.

More Added Info: I have been asked a question- rear wheels are 17X8 Wheel Vintiques with Goodyear Radials 245/55R17 9" wide tread, speed rated. If you want bigger tires, will have to tub.

ADDED INFO: Car comes with grille(s), bumpers, gravel pan, complete doors (have all parts), door glass, trim, lights. This Tbird started life in Arizona, went to California, then was sold to the Indiana resident I purchased it from. Still has the Arizona title with my name as purchaser. .can obtain a new Indiana title if buyer wants. I have invested about $20,000 in the car. The car has been media blasted, and the frame and suspension rebuilt by Risk Racecraft in Indianapolis, one of the nation"s top race car suspension shops. I am a big guy, and when I tried to get into one of these small Birds, I did not fit. .so I had the floor lowered and the interior enlarged- it can now fit someone 6"-5" and 250# comfortably. Steel plate floor, new frame structure, 4 link rear. The rear suspension is a GT Mustang, narrowed to fit (the car has not been tubbed), 4 link with track bar, disc brakes on all 4 corners, coilovers on all 4 corners, rebuilt front suspension, new rack and pinion steering from UniSteer. Firewall in stock location, big block set back, all engine and trans mounts in place. Steel doors and trunk lid, fiberglass front fenders and hood- this is not race car fiberglass, these are street weight pieces, very sturdy. Your choice- you can install the glass pieces like a stock steel front end or make a one-piece tilt up if that"s your deal. ENGINE: NO ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. WHAT"S INCLUDED & WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BUY: Everything that has been mentioned in the description is included.
