1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop NO RESERVE

 I need to sell this car before winter hits even though I will be sad to see it go.   This is a 1960 Ford Thunderbird with an automatic transmission.   I bought this car a few years ago with the intention of restoring her.   She is ready to be restored to mint condition.   The body is STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.   There is NO RUST on the under body and only a small rusty crack on the rear passenger side lower panel. just rear of the fender well.   The body including undercarriage is a 9 of 10.   Paint is the original color and shows age (worn away in some spots and mostly dull).   As I intended to restore her. I initially stared working on her mechanically.   The entire front end has recently been taken apart. cleaned. inspected and lubed.   She got 2 new ball joints and a bit of honing on both front wheel cylinders.   When we checked the rear wheel cylinders they were in good shape.   The entire breaking system has  been combed through.   The drums (front and rear) are in great shape with no warp and the shoes have good lift left on them.    The brake line to the two rear wheels is a new single line not spliced.   I was told by the previous owner that the master cylinder had recently been rebuilt so assume it has been rebuilt in the past 4 years.   The car has had a complete tune-up in the last 1000 miles and all fluid levels were checked and all were in line where they should be including the differential. The carburetor is a Holly that is a 4 barrel which is dialed all the way down.   My mechanic says it is a bit too big for the car.   The motor is not original but was a Ford 352 that has been bored to a 380 and rebuilt.   I do not know when the motor was rebuilt.   Transmission is a not stock C6 that is in perfect working condition. Nothing is wrong with the car mechanically besides a small crack in the passenger side exhaust manifold. The odometer states somewhere around 90. 00 and I would assume by the condition of the car that the car itself only has 90. 00 miles on it but I am not sure.   The Exhaust system is newer.   The lock for the doors is the same key as the ignition and I have two keys for that.   There is a separate key for the trunk and I believe one other key that may be for the glove box.   The interior is in above average condition for its age and all the parts that go with the interior come with the car even though they may not be installed (basically just trim pieces).   The only thing that is missing is the original switch for the heat/defrost.   I had the tracks moved back for the passenger seat and new tracks made for the driver seat so the seats can go back farther.   Power driver seat does work as well as all of the lights. high beams. interior lights and horn.   The car has air conditioning which is not original and when it was added they put in a different heat/air switch.   I have not tried the heat or the air conditioning because I drive the car with the windows down and I have never driven it when it is cold out.   Tires have good tread but are old and I would recommend replacing them.   I have the original window sticker and bill of sale for the car which shows the options the car came with.   The car was sold in the northeast but I was told by the previous owner is spent most of its life in the Mesa. AZ.   I've got more than $10. 00 in the car but I have no garage for her for winter.   $6000 will buy her.   $500 non refundable is due within 48 hours of auction end through paypal.
