Absolutely Gorgeous Red Thunderbird Convertible W Roadmaster Tonneau Cover on 2040-cars

***Listing update ***

This may be really good news for someone.  It wasn't so good for me.

True story.  I was touring around this weekend as i really had not had the car out at all this year and wanted to make sure all was to be expected, well it turns out it wasn't.  The car ran fine, i actually had a good time driving it around.  However, after i moved it back in the garage i noticed some transmission fluid had been leaking.   I brought the car in to my mechanic Monday. While we had it on the lift we determined it seemed to be coming from the seal in the shifter.  I took it over to the a highly reputable transmission repair shop in our area.  Although it was the transmission, I was hoping it would not be any real problems.  Well they checked it out today and informed me the transmission should be rebuilt.  They quoted me a cost for them to rebuild it, using all Ford OEM parts, of 2500 plus tax.  This really isn't work i want to take on and instead would rather pass along a potential great deal to someone else.  Therefore, after much interest in the car, i am dropping the BIN price by 5,000, that's twice the cost of repair!!.  So if you were interested, perhaps this a great opportunity for you.  I am happy to organize the shop work to be done for you and you could pay them direct.  Or you could buy it as is and arrange your own repair or do the work yourself.  Anyway, not  a real good day for me.  It was likely this would need to be done at some point in this car's future so for some future owner it's better it happened now.  Thanks for your interest please feel free to ask any additional questions.

This Thunderbird is really an awesome car from a fantastic period of American autos.  Best of all, this is a driver that you will be proud to be seen cruising around.  And you will be seen. No matter where you live this will be a one of kind attention getter.  Be prepared for compliments.

This gorgeous convertible t-bird is in really good condition, but it is not a showroom vehicle, but it's also a third the price and ready to roll.  Everything is original and if desired, would make a great car to fully restore to showroom, but really, the true value of this car is it one you can get out on the road and enjoy.

The white on red interior was highly desired and in short supply.  There are not many with this beautiful combination.  The majority of these were delivered with black interior and when your cruising, top down, in the sun, black is not what you want.  You absolutely want the white interior.  The upholstery is in just good condition.  It is bright and clean but It shows wear.  The driver seat has a 6 inch split in the seat and a smaller one on the side.  The red carpet is in good shape but there is a small wear spot on the passenger floor about the 3 inches in diameter.  It's not a hole or rip but just a bare spot.

The mechanics are all sound, it runs well.  The body is in excellent condition, there's no rust or dents.  It is the original paint and it still has a high shine, there are however several chips and dings and just small spots of missing paint that have all been touched up. Most notable is a series of door dings that have been touched up.  It has been this way since the 80's when I believed the older gal that owned it would open the door into some pole or some object in the garage.  They don't stand out, you have to look for them.  But they are there.

The tonneau cover makes this Thunderbird convertible extra special.  It makes it a sleek two seater and a great ride for date night. This was a factory delivered extra that are very rare.  Very few Tbirds came this way  Today they sell separately for anywhere form 3 to 5 grand.  It is in good condition, it is made from fiberglass, chrome and padded vinyl.  It does have scratches and nicks that have been touched up.  It is easily put on and taken off and it can be left on when the roof is up, however the securing screws should be in place as I believe that the scratches were caused by the roof when it was not properly bolted in place.

This car came with all the extra's, power windows, power steering and air conditioning which unfortunately is not working, but hey it's a convertible.  It also has the signature sliding steering wheel that makes it fun and easy to get in and out.  The luggage rack on the back trunk is a real pleasing design extra.

The white convertible top is good condition and the plastic window is crystal clear.  It is also fully automatic! The trunk lifts and the top retracts and stows away inside with just the touch of a button.  Ford really designed this well for the Thunderbird. It is by far one of the best designs for a fully automatic retracting top on any convertible on the road.

All in all, for 50 years old this is a great automobile, although its not perfect it will be one you will be very fond to drive.  You're family and friends will simply love to ride in it.  Especially, when you have your local oldies station tuned in to the original am radio with front and rear speakers which provide great ambiance even with the top down.

This Thunderbird is priced to sell and with tonneau cover included is a great value.  It is projected to not only hold its value but increase over time, and with literally all parts for this car still easily available and reasonably priced from vendors such as tbheadquarters.com you can continue to maintain and enhance this car over time.
