Current customer rating:
The exterior of this beauty is actually much better than most. It is a blazingly bright flashy gloss red. The paint is awesome. It is in excellent condition with no issues. There is absolutely no damage anywhere on the entire car. The paint is great with a very high gloss and no problems. NO dings. nicks. r paint issues. dull spots. runs. nbsp;overspray or other issues. The paint has a depth that is amazing. The depth shows through in bright sunlight and it looks incredible! This car has been protected with no expense spared. There is no evidence of ever having previous damage. It is a 390 V8 and the car is a blast to drive. All chrome is perfect and gleams. The car also has perfect rubber seals throughout. The door. hood and trunk window jambs are in great shape and I have extra photos of them. if you need them. This car has the original 390 engine. The floors are great and the engine compartment is perfect. I also have photos of those. I can only put 24 pics on eBay so if you want more. I will have to send them to you. The car has perfect condition Ford spoke wheels with new black wall tires. both of which give it a great look. The car does have factory swing away steering and it works perfecty. I have found absolutely no issues with the car at all. I did drive it extensively to see how it was before listing it. It was great! Started easily. ran strong and handled wonderfully. I want to emphasis that this car is NOT some hack job like you sometimes find on here. This is about as nice of an original Thunderbird that you will find unless you spend $75. 00. 00 on building one yourself. Body seams are nice. body gaps are as they were from the factory. paint is factory perfect as is the interior. The front of the car is very clean and not chipped or nicked up from driving. The entire body is excellent. I have several extra photos that I can send and will take others if you need them. All I ask is please don't wait until the last day or hour to ask for special photos. The car is stored in a warehouse 50 miles from me and I will not be able to get them on short notice.
I do want to point out that the car has factory AC and it does work!. It aso has t;s original fender skirts. which are shown in the trunk.
On to the interior. This one has the totally cool and ultra original BLACK interior with chrome trim that is absolutely perfect! We have had more than 500 classics and rods over the last few years and this is one of the ery best. Most cars just have the plain black cloth but this car was done right! The dash is great with no wear. cracks or fade. It has perfect shape and has not bent like so many of them do in the center. It was made to match the exterior of the car. The interior is in great shape. Some of the photos may show the carpet to appear faded but that is not the case. It is just the camera flash glaring. The carpet is in excellent condition. The car also has original style floor mats. Correct manual windows and locks. They all work. as well. The car has an original style AM radio mounted in the dash. It is a nice unit with a good sound. The door panels are also in excellent condition in the same style as the seats and are also in the photos. The interior is in GREAT condition. The headliner is also in new condition. All the gauges work so you can monitor all of the engines activities. The interior on this car is one of the things that makes it special. It is a beautiful contrast to the red exterior and has a great appearance. THe car does have working factory AC and it is cold plus the cool swing away steering! And now for the mechanics. This car has enough power to impress all of your friends! It is the Ford 390 L88 engine with all original components and it is connected to a stock 3 speed automatic transmission. No modifications have been made to either he engine or transmission and both re 100% stock. It is a numbers matching engine. The engine and engine compartment are of the same quality as the rest of the car. It has factory dual exhaust There is a great sounding rumble to it. It is not too loud but gets the proper attention. Again. I have numerous other photos. it has great oil pressure and no internal noise. The trans shifts well and grabs as it should. Again. this car only has 72. 00 actual miles. The engine runs like it is brand new and of course. there are no leaks or problems of any kind. The car is beautiful and ready for you to enjoy as a showpiece or investment! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Questions and answers: Let me cover a few questions that I am sure I will get 100 times while this auction is running. Also. please check the eBay question and answer section below the photos to see if your question has already been covered. * Will you trade for my . (fill in the blank)? The owner would prefer not to trade. He is trying to reduce his collection so trades willnot help him in that quest. * Does this car have airbags and seatbelts? Yes to seatbelts and no to airbags. It does not have airbags as it was not made with any. It is not required in any state because of the age of the car. * Will this truck pass emissions in my state? I have no idea. I am in Kentucky and we have no emissions testing here. I have no way to test it for any state and I have no idea what your state requires. Some states make exceptions for antiques. It is 100% up to you to check on these items for yourself. If you buy the car. you buy the car. It will be your responsibilty to make it meet whatever requirements your state has. There may be no changes that need to be made since it is an antique but keep in mind that you will not be allowed to back out of the sale should you not put any effort into finding out BEFORE you bid. Please refer to the last paragraph that covers non-payment. I don't mean to sound like a jerk here but the last time I failed to mention this I had an idiot in California complaining that their 1978 VW Beetle convertible did not have a catalytic converter on it! They were not made with converters in 1978 and there is NOTHING I can do about it. * Will you ship internationally? Yes. I will but it is your responsibility to find out the costs. I am happy to help make the arrangements and have shipped numerous cars internationally. If you use the Buy It Now. or pay extra for me to do it. I will get it to a shipping port. Please understand that a price a shipper gives you is from a port city. We are not on the ocean and the car will have to be transported to the port. That will be extra. I WILL NOT accept money orders. cashier's checks or any other check for international shipping. Payment will be made by a bank wire transfer and by no other means. except in some cases with Canada. I WILL NOT accept anything but the deposit through Paypal as their fees are too high to process large amounts through. * Will this be a good car for my teen-aged son/daughter? They really like it and want me to buy it for them. This simplest answer to this is that you would be an idiot to buy a car like this for a teenaged driver. Not only is it too expensive to put a young person in. it is WAY to powerful and would just be plain dangerous. This is a classic vehicle and young people need to be only passengers in it. They DO NOT have the experience required to control this car. and yes. that includes your child. I don't mean to sound like an ass but I am stunned at the number of adults who write or call me when I run a car like this and want to put a teenager in. Young drivers have no idea what is involved in caring for a car like this nor the amount of money needed to keep it nice. Parents should use their heads and put junior in a Honda or Toyota and leave cars like this to experienced owners and drivers. Again. DO NOT buy this car for a young person! The car is up to par but. to be direct. your teenager is NOT! * Do you have any documentation on this car? Some. Remember that the car has been owned by a collector for many years. Some cars we have lots of paperwork on. some very little. I do not know what we have on each and every car as we have more than 600 but whatever paperwork the builder/owner provided us and you are welcome to it. I have numerous photos of the underside of this car and many of other sections. I will be more than happy to send them to you but you will have to send me your direct e-mail address. I cannot send photos through the eBay mail system as they will not allow it. Below covers delivery and shipping options as well as ways to contact me directly should you want to discuss anything at all. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A little about the owner. He is a life long collector who specializes in Fords. He has collected for over 50 years and even had his own automotive museum. He has retired and no longer wants the responsibility of taking care of so many nice cars. He has decided to sell most of them. All of the cars I list for him will be show quality unless I say otherwise in the description. As for the free delivery mentioned above. The details are simple. If you use the Buy It Now. I will deliver the car or truck anywhere in the mainland US for free. I may be able to include lower Canada but you must check with me on that first. There are rules that apply to importing into Canada and all taxes and tariffs will be the buyer's responsibility. If I am delivering. I solely reserve the right to decide on how the vehicle gets to your location. I may have it shipped by professional car delivery service. I may delivery on my personal trailer or I may drive the car to you and fly back home. Driving it to you likely won't happen with a classic car. I will usually trailer it or ship it. If I drive one this will. of course. add a few miles but that can't be helped. Since I am paying for it. I have to consider distance. expense. time I have on hand. ect. Payment must be made IN FULL before the vehicle will leave our location. No exceptions will be made. not even to dealers! An important factor that you need to know. The owner holds a clear title to all cars listed. Fees and taxes. In most cases. taxes will be paid by the buyer in their own state. No other fees will apply unless ou request something special. Bidding and payment terms are pretty simple as well. DO NOT bid of you have no money! These auctions are expensive and I will not allow zero or low feedback bidders to bid. If you do. I will cancel the bid and block you from bidding again. Zero feedback is the same as negitive feedback as far as I'm concerned. If you are not new to eBay but have no feedback and feel you should be allowed to bid. contact me and we'll work something out. My cell is 270-577-1821. Don't wait until the last minute to do this as it will be too late. As for payment. I expect a $300. 00 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours. The remaining amount should be paid within no more than 7 days. I accept any reasonable form of payment but checks must clear before the car will leave here. If you are picking it up. don't expect to show-up on Saturday or Sunday and write a check and leave with the car. Best bet for a weekend pick-up is cash or mail the check in advance so it will clear before you arrive. We will be happy to store the car indoors after payment for as long as needed. within reason. until you can come and get it. If the Buy It Now is not used. I may be willing to deliver the car for a fee but we will need to discuss that in advance. I always welcome deliveries to Florida as I can always use more vacation time! Where we are: Henderson. KY is in Western KY which is close enough to several major cities that you can fly into them. We are about 150 miles from Nashville. TN; 120 miles from Louisville. KY; 180 miles from both Indianapolis. IN and St. Louis. MO. The closest airport is a regional in Evansville. IN. We can make arrangements to pick you up free in Evansville and Louisville. KY. For any of the other airports. we can get you but we'll have to have some help on travel expenses from the buyer. You are more than welcome to call me at any time to ask any question. My cell is 270-577-1821. I can also assist in finding any decent sports or luxury car that you may desire and can get them at less than what you will find them for elsewhere. We thank you for looking and wish you the best of luck in the bidding! Please see our other auctions for more Jaguars. Porsches. ect. as time permits and the weather gets warmer.
