THIS IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. I STARTED WORKING ON THIS CAR AND CAME TO THE POINT OF PAINT AND A FEW REPAIRS...WHEN I DETERMINED THAT I WANTED TO CHANGE THE ORIGINAL COLOR...I THOUGHT SOMEONE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A SILVER CLASSIC BIRD. I FEEL THESE 70-71 THUNDERBIRDS WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE, THEREFORE A COLOR CHANGE MIGHT HARM THE CAR. I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO A NEW BUYER TO MAKE THIS DECISION. I HAVE 9 OTHER LINCOLNS AND THUNDERBIRDS. THIS CAR IS VERY CLOSE TO ORIGINAL. NO PARTS ARE MISSING. NO BAD RUST REPAIRS..AND POWER WINDOWS AND HEATER WORK. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ALSO. THE REPAIR WORK IS NOT A HARD JOB ON THIS SWEET BIRD : AND WOULD REALLY MAKE A HEAD TURNER. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000.00 ON THE MECHANICS, BRAKES AND SUSPENSION. THE EXHAUST IS PASSABLE BUT NEEDS WORK THE TRANSMISSION SEAL NEEDS REPLACED AS DOES THE VALVE COVER GASKETS. THE OIL LEAKS ARE VERY SMALL. NOT A HARD FIX. YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT FINISH YOU COAT THE CAR IN...I THINK THIS IS A CLASSIC COLOR CHOICE THAT WILL LOOK GOOD WHEN FINISHED. I HAVE LOST MY DESIRE TO FINISH HER...I WOULD PAINT HER WHITE. LET ME KNOW WHAT QUESTIONS YOU NEED ANSWERED AND I WILL TRY. THE RESERVE IS VERY LOW, ALL BIDDERS AND THE WINNER WILL NEED TO CHOOSE THERE OWN TRANSPORT . I ALSO HAVE THIS CAR LISTED LOCALLY AND RETAIN THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME. THE RESERVE IS VERY VERY LOW. THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD WITH A BILL OF SALE ONLY.
