1961 THUNDERBIRD COUPE SOLID CAR

1961 Ford Thunderbird COUPE Additional Info:

UP FOR SALE IS A 1961 THUNDERBIRD. THIS IS A DRIVER CAR THAT WILL NEED SOME ATTENTION. IT HAS POWER STEERING, OWER BRAKES, ILT-A-WAY STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR WAS ORDERED WITH AIR CONDITIONING FROM THE FACTORY, HOWEVER IT IS CURRENTLY NOT HOOKED UP. BUT I DO HAVE THE COMPRESSOR BRACKET, OSES, ND A REBUILT COMPRESSOR.
IT HAS THE 390 4BBL ENGINE. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THE ENGINE BAY HAS BEEN PAINTED THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE CAR. THE ENGINE WAS ALSO DETAILED AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES.
ALL THE LIGHTS AND DIRECTIONALS WORK INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE WIPERS. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, IL PRESSURE GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE DO NOT WORK. THERE IS A NEW SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK AND THERE IS VOLTAGE AT THE WIRE GOING TO IT. MUST BE A GAUGE ISSUE. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE WITH RED INTERIOR. THE SEATS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN DYED DUE TO FADING OVER THE YEARS. THE DASH HAS NO CRACKS AND THE DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED. THE CARPET IS NEW AND THERE IS UNDERLAYMENT BELOW. THIS WAS AN AMATEUR RESTORATION ON THE INTERIOR, O SOME THINGS MAY NEED TO BE REDONE.
THE BODY IS BASICALLY SOLID AND THE FLOOR PANS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND UNDERNEATH THE DOORS AND DOOR JAMBS. THERE ARE SIGNS OF RUST IN THE REAR QUARTERS WHICH HAVE BEEN BONDOED. THERE IS ALSO A RUST HOLE IN THE HOOD AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES. THE CAR ALSO NEEDS PAINT.
THE TRUNK FLOOR HAD SOME SURFACE RUST AND IT HAS BEEN WIRE BRUSHED AND TREATED WITH POR15. IT ALSO HAS A NEW HEADLINER AND NEW VISORS. ALL THE CHROME IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE FRONT BUMPER CHROME IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. HOWEVER THE REAR IS SHOWING ITS AGE. THE CAR HAS ALL ITS ORIGINAL GLASS AND THE WINDOWS ARE OPERATING PROPERLY.
THIS WOULD BE A GOOD START TO A VERY NICE CAR WITH A LITTLE WORK. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, OWEVER I DO NOT HAVE ANY RECEIPTS TO SUPPORT THIS. ALL FOUR TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AS IS THE SPARE. I LOST THE KEYS A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE CAR COMES WITH A NEW IGNITION SWITCH AND KEYS. THE NEW IGNITION HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED, UT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START THE CAR WITH THE OLD IGNITION REMOVED. THE TRUNK LOCK HAS BEEN CHANGED AND INCLUDES A KEY.
THE CAR ALSO COMES WITH NEW WEATHER STRIPPING, EAT BELTS AND SOME OTHER PARTS.
I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO FINISH THIS PROJECT. I AM ASKING $4500 OR BEST OFFER. NO TRADES PLEASE. BE REALISTIC WHEN MAKING AN OFFER.
