Vehicle description

Selling this 1970 Thunderbird for a friend"s family after the owner passed away. It drives like super smooth. It was restored in recent years and is pretty original/complete. He had multiple classic Fords and this was a primary family car for many years. Up until his last days he maintained them all regularly and made extensive maintenance/service notes and to-do"s (He recorded every test drive, gas fill up, maintenance, etc). It’s an East Tennessee car and we get under 5 days of snow a year so the underside is clean. It has a 429, automatic transmission, factory power disc brakes, power steering and aftermarket cruise control. Very original and Odometer shows 81,XXX. Always garaged. Almost survivor status. I have over 300 photos I can send to you, as well as take more. It runs and drives amazing. I can take a video of it starting and running. This is truly a well-maintained clean car. These photos are basically as-is and I did not shine up the engine bay or interior prior to taking them. The car comes with pages and pages of handwritten maintenance records/notes. These notes had everything including gas fill ups, test drives, notes about drive, new tags, oil changes and what brand/type oil and what additives, paid insurance, tire inflation, new vacuum hoses, receipts for parts and rebuilds, part quotes, bulb replacements, tire inflation, etc. The trunk comes full of part boxes with original replaced parts and new (Older stock) parts) VIN - 0J83N113102 (Built at the Los Angeles plant) The car is located in Knoxville Tennessee and it has a Clean Tennessee title. A marti report could be ran for it as well. Many more photos are in a gallery below. $500 deposit due when purchasing. Call (805) 405-0765 with any questions.
MECHANICAL 429 V8 Engine - Motor rebuilt within a few thousand miles. Automatic transmission - Works well Power front discs (The car stops awesome) New Master Cylinder Power steering It starts and runs great. Could likely use a carb rebuild as it stumbles when stepping on it (Likely the accelerator pump). I noticed it has a coolant leak from near the front but I haven’t chased this down. Looked to be coming from the radiator or a hose at first glance. Still totally drivable as-is.
INTERIOR: Dark Green interior looks as good in person as it does in the photos Interior is complete and basically perfect other than the driver"s seat wear. Driver seat has a tear but is perfectly usable as is E brake works E brake release when going to drive works (I didn’t even know this was a feature back then!) Heat works All fan speeds work Defrost works (New Rear defrost lines are ran) AC clicks on. All factory AC components are under the hood and in the car, not sure if it just needs charged but the compressor kicks in. It doesn’t seem to pump cold air though. AC compressor spins free and clicks. Original Ford Company logo tag on compressor. Aftermarket cruise control from long ago (not sure if it works) Headliner in good shape and has small hole on passenger side. No sagging. Nice and tight. AM Radio Works Courtesy under dash light works Temp gauge works Oil gauge works Alternator works Warning lights work Wipers work Belt warning light works Clock works Horn works Speedometer works Fuel gauge doesn"t seems to work 2 sets of original keys Dash is in great shape All seat belts look to be there and original Dash dome light works One rear corner dome light works and one doesn’t Blinkers work Brights and headlights work Brake lights work Original brake pedal saying “Disc Brakes” Possibly Original floor mats?
BODY: Doors shut Nicely as they should Trunk shuts nicely Original factory stickers under trunk lid, in door jambs, and under hood area Quality paint with minimal blemishes Evidence of minor scrapes on front of passenger fender (Barely noticeable)
