Vehicle Detail

About the Vehicle1960 Ford Thunderbird352FE (Original Engine), Cruise-O-Matic Transmission (Original)Engine professionally rebuilt in 2010. Full rebuild including heads, etc. (Less than 1000 miles since the rebuild)Power Brakes (Master Cylinder, front brake lines, brake cylinders, brake shoes, rear hubs all replaced within a year)Power SteeringAC (came with factory AC, has been updated to a Sanden compressor. New Dryer and Condenser. New AC hoses from Sanden - AC stopped blowing cold air a week ago, signs of a leak at the main output line, possibly a bad O-Ring.)Front End: All bushings (including the rocker-arms-to-frame bushings), Tie Rods, Ball Joints, Coil Springs, Front Shocks replaced with new within the past 18 monthsAll Front End parts were sandblasted and coated with POR-15, then painted while engine was being rebuilt.Front End was aligned in FebruaryNew RadiatorNew Water PumpRefit with Alternator (Original (rebuilt) generator comes with the car). Alternator correctly bypassed the old regulator so that Dash Gen warning light works correctlyRefit with Edelbrock 4BBL (Original Carb with tag comes with the car)Electric Fuel pump runs in tandem with the original, and an in-line pressure regulator for the fuel flowOld Vacuum windshield wipers replaced with an electric motor kit made for this model car (original vacuum wipers come with the car)New steel exhaust and matching mufflers from exhaust manifold to tail-pipeInterior: Original Black and White. Never changed. Cleans up nice but White color shows that aging tint.Front Seat belts added (Correctly placed in the indents, but are not from the factory on this car)AM Radio Works! Speaker works!All Dash lights and warnings, dome lights, etc work with the exception of the right blinker dash indicator failing intermittently and the original clock on dash does not workPaint looks original color, but was repainted in the 70s, exterior only, not on door jams etc. Looks wonderful at 10 feetTires full tread, 4 years oldSpare in trunk with original jack etcCar was triple undercoated to protect from rust, and it has worked well Issues with the vehicleAC has leak (appears to be at the out-feed where line bolts to compressor). Functioned well, less than 2 years old and worked through last summer. AC stopped blowing cold about a week agoSince moving from Louisiana to OK, the Carb spits at random times, usually at high RPM (above 50 MPH). Likely needs adjusting. The Carb is less than 2 years old, so I am not inclined to believe it is the carb itself. I drive this car at least once a week to work, 30 minutes away.Rear quarter panels have finally begun to rust through. See images. Car has always been garaged but I think the last 4 years in the Louisiana humidity fed the rust. I do not still have the original AC Compressor (the piston was frozen beyond work...not worth a rebuild attempt), but I do have original parts for anything that was swapped for newer, such as the carb, generator, windshield wiper system.It is a great buy at this price. Reserve Price is firm and listed locally. I reserve the right to remove this from Ebay listing should a local buyer purchase the car (if buyer does not have Ebay account)
