This is a California rust free car. It is not a factory original. It is a good looking driver that runs and handles very good. It is a non completed project that was never completed but driven 3000 miles after doing major work to make it road worthy.It has not been driven in the last 10 years. maybe 30 miles, and it has always been garaged since I bought it in 1995. It needs a lot of TLC to complete. It is great mechanically and looks good, but needs so much small stuff done to make it complete. I caution you not to buy it if you want it to end up with all factory parts, or if you are not mechanically inclined. It would not be worth it to pay someone to do all the work or buy all the exact Thunderbird parts. It is not a bad car just not done. I have most of the parts to finish it. I put in a list of what needs to be done to make it more practibal to drive and what is not factory stock. I have put in about $30K in parts not including the cost of the car.
I bought it with ithe interior stripped out. It had an epoxy primer in it. The brakes were all new except for the front drums. It also came with new wiring ,but not factory wiring. I install a rebuilt 57 Merc 312 with hardened exhaust valve seats and was balanced. The engine has rebuilt rockerarms and 5/16" pushrods. The distributor is non Thunderbird tac drive one with Pertronix ignitor. The transmission is a Maverick 3 speed manual with a Hurst shifter. All front suspension and steering linkage is new including rebuilt steering box. Heavy duty front and rear stabilyzers were installed along with new shocks. All the exterior chrome was redone or new. The center section of the rear bumper has some rust bubbles. I don't think it was plated with copper underneath. The interior was sprayed with zero rust and new interior installed. All the exhaust is new with Glass packs. All the weather stripping is new except for the top which it needs badly. The window channel is new but is too tight. The door locks need adjusting. The doors and hood need to be aligned. The paint used on the exterior is PPG Concept single stage urethane. There is no canvas top. It uses mechanical gauges not the stock ones.
Please study the pictures carefully. I have included in the pictures a list of my recollection of non stock Thunderbird items and things that need to be done.I have a lot of the parts.
This car comes with no guarentee. It is sold as is. A non refundable deposit of $500 is due 48 hours after the auction and the remainder 10 days after the end of auction. I will accept cashiers check, cash in person, or bank transfer for payment. I will only release the car when all the funds are posted in my account. Feel free to ask all you questions.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
