IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RESTORED T BIRD THEN YOU FOUND IT ! !
HELLO AND THANKS FOR LOOKING AT THIS FORMER SHOW CAR . . WHAT CAN I SAY ITS BEAUTIFUL AND WAS PURCHASED FROM AN ESTATE SALE . PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT OVER 20 YEARS AND FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD IT WAS A NUT AND BOLT FRAME OFF RESTORATIONS. .
THE TITLE IS CLEAN AND IN MY FRIENDS DEALERSHIP NAME . WE HAVE TOWED IT TO MY GARAGE AND INSTALLED NEW PLUGS ,ROTOR ,CAP, WIRES,AIR FILTER , OIL AND FILTER CHANGED , GAS FILTER , AND REBUILT THE HOLLY 4 BARREL CARBURETOR, `REPLENISHED ALL THE FLUIDS AND GOT HER RUNNING FINE. . AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IN THE SHOW ROOM (23) . THE ONLY THING IT MAY NEED THAT I SAW IS AN ALIGNMENT. THE WHEEL IS OFF CENTER JUST A LITTLE BIT. .AND GET WIPERS AND WATER TEMP GAGE TO WORK .
WHAT I KNOW:
THE CAR FIRES RIGHT UP NO SMOKE OR KNOCKS OR FUNNY NOISES FROM THE 312 V8 , STOPS AS SHE SHOULD , AUTO SHIFTS LIKE IT SHOULD . .MOSTLY ALL ELECTRICAL DOES WORK . INCLUDING THE CLOCK . HORN , TURN SIGNALS, HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS , BACK UPS, INTERIOR LIGHTS , BRAKE LIGHTS, CIG LIGHTER, RADIO, WATER TEMP/ WIPERS AS OF RIGHT NOW DO NOT WORK BUT MAY AT THE TIME OF SALE . ONE SMALL BLEMISH A DOT OR TWO ON THE RIGHT TOP REAR QUARTER PANEL PAINT BUBBLE. .
UNDERCARRIAGE IS DETAILED AND TONS AND TONS OF NEW PARTS . 312 V8 APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL ENGINE, ALSO WAS TOLD BY OWNERS SON IT ALSO WAS REBUILT , THERE ARE SO MANY MANY NEW PARTS ON THIS CAR I WOULDN"T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO TELL YOU . MY OVERALL OPINION
I RATE THE PAINT ON THIS CAR A 9.6 VERY VERY NICE , THE TWO TOPS I RATE 9.6 CONV TOP LOOKS BRAND NEW AND THE HARD TOP IS FINISHED AND INSIDE DETAILED, MECHANICAL OF CAR IS A 9.4 , ELECTRICAL 9.6, INTERIOR 9.6 OVERALL HIGH RATINGS . .THESE RATING ARE THE WAY I SEE IT YOUR OPINION MAY BE MORE OR A LITTLE LESS. .
LAST TIME CAR WAS ON THE ROAD WAS IN 08 . .THE REST OF TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOW ROOM ,THE OWNER PAST AWAY AND HIS COLLECTION WAS SOLD OFF. ABOUT 35 CARS ONE AIR BOAT AND EVEN A HELICOPTER.
I MET HIS SON AT THE SHOWROOM AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING ON THIS THUNDERBIRD RESTORATION WAS EITHER REPLACED NEW OR WAS REBUILT INCLUDING THE ENGINE . BUT HE COULDN"T FIND ANY PAPERWORK , HE HAS MY ADDRESS IN CASE HE DOES. HE ALSO SAID HIS DAD WOULD RUN THEM WHEN HE COULD . .HE HAD SEVERAL CARS ,JUST TO NAME A FEW I SAW 5 T BIRDS , A JAG CONV, 54 CHEVY CONV, 58 IMPALA, HELICOPTER, AIR BOAT ETC ETC ETC A REAL HIGH END COLLECTOR . .
PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT OWNING A NICE T BIRD . DO NOT WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS . .I WILL BLOCK AND REPORT ANY ONE PLAYING A GAMES . . PLEASE HAVE YOUR FUNDS IN PLACE. . AND ASK PERMISSION WITH WHOEVER YOU MAY HAVE TO ,BANK , WIFE , HUSBAND, FATHER ETC. .
I"AM A REASONABLE SELLER . .YOU CAN MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER THAT I MAY END THE SALE FOR YOU ONCE THE 500 DOLLAR NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS IN PLACE . .
NO MONIES ARE SET ASIDE FOR NEGOTIATIONS AFTER THE SALE AND THIS IS A USED COLLECTIBLE 64 YEAR OLD AUTOMOBILE AND IS SOLD AS IS. .THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK . .YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE DON"T LET IT GET AWAY FROM YOU :0) THIS CAR WILL GO UP IN VALUE BUT PLEASE REMEMBER IT RUNS STOPS AND HANDLES LIKE DAYS GONE BY NOT LIKE THE NEW ONES OF TODAY . "SHES A 64 YEAR OLD QUEEN"
