Vehicle Detail

I have up for auction a fairly solid old t-bird. In most cases people would consider this a full restoration needed. The truck pan is in descent shape and doesn't look bad underneath. The worst part of the car is underneath the front of the hood and the drivers side floor pan which i took pics of to show the extent of rust. The rest of the floor pans look to be fairly solid with the exception of the passenger side floorboard where it looks like someone took a large screwdriver and punctured two holes in it. Don't know why this was done. Only two of the windows worked with the switch, which was the front driver's side and the rear passenger window, the glass is in the other two windows just wouldn't go up with the switch. All of the parts to the top are there, but disconnected to allow manual operation of the top being put up and down. The lower rockers do show sign of some rust, but nothing with holes through. . Does not have the gas tank in it, but does have a gas tank. All of the fluids are appear to be good in the motor and clean. The last time the vehicle was tagged was in 1993. The mufflers and a few of the brake lines appear to have been replaced a couple years ago. If your looking for a descent project that you can maybe enjoy without spending a lot of money getting on the road this would be the one. The car does run and moves, but does not have any brakes. I have it just running off of a gas jug in engine compartment. Please if you have any questions ask before bidding, this car is being sold as is and where is, if you would like to come and look at vehicle can arrange time to meet with you. The buyer is responsible for the shipping costs of vehicle. The deposit is non-refundable and will not accept bids from people from other countries wanting to negotiate someone to pick up vehicle. Will require full payment before title or car leaves premises. I do have the car advertised locally for sale and reserve the right to cancel auction at anytime. Thanks and happy bidding.

Upon taking the pics the quarter panels have had work done to them on the lower part both passenger and driver on the front of the quarter and rear. It looks like they do have bonds in them about 8 inches up or so just below where they start to round out. Am still going to try to get running tomorrow and will update info as needed.

On Aug-18-13 at 15:53:23 PDT, seller added the following information: Was able to clean up points and put new spark plugs in the thunderbird today and got it running off of a gas jug. I did pull it forward and backed it up in my drive way ,but has no brakes. Just wanted to let everyone know that it does run and moves. Thanks greg
