CLASSIC 1964 THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE. CAME OUT OF LONG STORAGE AND NEEDS RESTORATION. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR DENTS AND SCRATCHES, BUT SHOWS ONLY MINIMAL RUST. THE PAINT IS DECENT BUT NOT ORIGINAL AND LOOKS GOOD AT 20 FEET, BUT HAS MINOR SCRATCHES AND INPERFECTIONS, BUT IS PRESENTABLE AS A DRIVER. THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK IS RUSTED AS WELL AS THE REAR TRAY THAT THE TOP CONNECTS TO DUE TO THE WEATHER SEAL BEING ROTTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THE PASENGER SIDE FLOOR WAS REPAIRED AT SOME POINT. THERE IS SOME RUST ON THE REAR UNDERSIDE, BUT LOOKS TO BE SURFACE RUST. THE INTERIOR IS PRESENTABLE AND USABLE AS IS BUT THE DRIVER SEAT HAS A RIPPED SEAM AND THE ARM RESTS AND DASH TOP IS CRACKED BUT PRESENTABLE. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS PRESENT BUT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I TRIED TO LOWER THE AUTOMATIC TOP BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, SO IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. ALL OF THE TOP MECHANISM LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE, AND MAY ONLY REQUIRE A FUSE TO MAKE OPERATIONAL? I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, INSTALLED A FRESH BATTERY, HAD THE CARBURETOR PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT, CHANGED THE OIL, AND INSPECTED THE FUEL LINE AND FIRED IT UP. IT RUNS SMOOTH BUT HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK AT THE MANIFOLD, SHIFTS SMOOTHLY, STEERS STRAIGHT, AND STOPS STRAIGHT, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL IS MUSHY, WHICH MAY NEED TO BE BLEEDED, OR PERHAPS THAT'S THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE? FROM WHAT I CAN TELL THE FUEL TANK, FUEL LINE, CONVERTIBLE TOP MAIN MOTOR AND DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM WERE RECENTLY REPLACED WITH NEW BEFORE STORAGE. AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS THE RADIO IS AFTERMARKET AND LIGHTS UP BUT NO SOUND, POSSIBLE SPEAKER PROBLEM? THE ENTIRE CAR NEEDS TO BE GONE THROUGH TO FINE TUNE THINGS AND REPAINTED AND NEW TOP TO MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL AGAIN. BASICALLY, THIS CAR HAS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SOMEBODY WILLING TO TINKER WITH IT, AND AT THE PRICE IT IS A BARGAIN TO PURCHASE A CLASSIC THUNDERBURD CONVERTIBLE!!! I PURCHASED THIS CAR TO FIX UP FOR MYSELF BUT LIFE HAPPENS FORCING ME TO SELL BEFORE I GOT THE CHANCE. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN.
