Up for bid is a remarkably clean survivor; 1971 Ford Thunderbird with the 429 "Thunderjet" V8. This vintage luxury car has had 3 owners, and the vehicle is pretty much all original. Rust-free, and it has always lived in California. We will cooperate with shipping world-wide. No reserve - high bid takes this car. The registration is on "non-op" so there are no back fees, and the title is clean. Plus, this car is smog-exempt here in Cal. We ended up painting the rear door that had the primer, but it wasn't a perfect shade. So, the whole car is brown now, but if you look at just the right angle you can tell that one door doesn't have a perfect match. There are other areas where there are flaws in the paint, as one would expect on a 43 year-old car. This car runs and drives, but I wouldn't consider driving it home to Florida. Or even to L.A. One cylinder has low compression, and the car smokes for just a moment on start-up. Passenger power window stops part way up. Drivers power window is slow / weak. The tires aren't any good. The brakes are actually solid and work well. AC doesn't blow cold. Power steering works fabulous, but is a little noisy. The vinyl top needs to be replaced. Included in the auction: Original Ford service manuals Original glovebox documentation, except for owners manual New fender chrome for right rear fender well Other small replacement parts / items The car is available to be viewed almost anytime, except for Saturdays. We have a car lift here, to help with the inspection process. It is up for sale locally, so I might end the auction early if there's no bids and I get a solid offer. Thanks for looking!
