I am a snowbird here in Tampa, FL and bought this thunderbird as a daily driver when I arrived in November 2016. The car is running as it should, automatic shifts without any issue, I put a brand new tank inside (350.-), changed all filters and oil as well as the fuel hoses. The body is very solid with a little rust at the passenger door and around the back roof. The Vinyl has to be changed (200.- on eBay) and some minor welding under it done. The main frame has absolutely NO rust, everything is original except the aluminum wheels (almost new condition!). It does not need a new paint, the original is fine and has only a few scratches. I would not repaint it, as it is the original one, also the clear coat is fine, just little spots around the roof must be painted (and the spot at the passenger door). I like the car as it is. Inside very nice! NO cracks on the dashboard and the leather seats are in a great condition (NO cracks at all!), three buttons are missing. The back seat is like new!!! The driver side inside door needs TLC. The chrome pumpers are perfect, no rust at all, all lights work as they should. The engine is very strong!
I am not sure if I should ship it to Europe, depending how high the price goes, I reserve the right to put a reserve prize in or cancel the auction as I am still waiting for a shipping quote.
The car can be inspected at Highway US 41 south, 33619 FL, after appointment (786) 314-6679.
I will add more photos tomorrow, it is only high jacked because I changed the gas hose at that time. The car is registered as antique under my name, so ready for a test drive! Make a reasonable offer!
