Up for auction is a 1988 Thunderbird, the 1987-88 body-style being a favorite body-style of many Thunderbird enthusiasts. As we have all seen so many times on Ebay, I have too many projects and must let go of this one. It was not my decision that THIS is the thing I let go of to make room and time and money for aforementioned projects; my better half got to choose because I owed her so there you have it. My Thunderbird was originally white on a red interior and it is still white but I was going to go back into the interior with gray leather. The engine has been replaced with a rebuilt long block from ATK Rebuilt Engines and Transmission and the original transmission has been rebuilt by a local very reputable transmission shop. Also are new brake rotors, drums, pads and shoes, power steering pump, alternator, steering rack and tie-rod ends, wheel bearings, engine computer, new heater core, and air conditioning evaperator and conderser coils, and anything else I may have left forgotten, and all of these things have about 15,000 miles. This car is totally reliable and roadworthy and gets approximately 29 MPG on the freeway. The engine computer had to be replaced because it got wet and I am not sure how that happened but in the hands of the right restorer this should not be a problem. Probably a weatherstripping issue. Nothing else has been done to the car. It is now a perfectly mechanically sound canvas for the right restorer to paint and do the interior. Happy bidding. This is a no-reserve auction but it also is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. On Jul-25-13 at 20:39:30 PDT, seller added the following information: There are a few things that I forgot to list. Both sets of rear strut rod bushings have been replaced, and a stabilizer bar and and posi-trac differential from a Thunderbird Sport have been added. Also, there is new dual exhaust with great mufflers but since the car is 25 years old this year the catalytic converters have been removed. That and the fact that parts of the interior are temporarily out is the only way I can determine that the car is getting 30 MPG on the freeway instead of about the 27 that it should be getting. The paint job has been started for you with the hood having been painted and cut in and the trunk lid has been cut in. I will add some pics of the interior this weekend. Thanks for checking back.
