1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. HIGHLIGHTS: ORIGINAL PAINTRUST FREE CALIFORNIA CARSTORED UNDERCOVER SINCE 1988 HISTORY: Purchased in 1988 in Paso Robles California from the original owner. Car has been stored since that time under cover with the intention of restoring it as my personal car unfortunately, priorities have shifted and I have decided to sell the vehicle. PAINT/INTERIOR: The car has the original candyapple red paint (Paint Code =T) over white interior (Trim = G6) and top - with the possible exception of the driver's side door which is the original door but it may have been painted. BODY CONDITION: Body is in amazing condition for a 47 year old car - there are 2 small creases - 1 on the passenger fender and another on the deck lid and a few of dings (see photos) - That's it! This is as easy of a body restore as you will find - no need to worry about rust or bondo - what you see is the body of the car as it left Los Angeles (D.S.O. 71) on February 8th 1966. NOTE: Photos show a key operated dead-switch installed in the front driver's side fender - I am including an extra fender that may be installed if desired. RUST: Outside of some minimal surface rust on the hood, deck lid and panel behind the rear seat, there is absolutely no body rust as the car has lived its life in a dry, salt free climate. The primer you see on the hood/deck lid was to protect them from further surface rust which was minimal. MECHANICAL: The car is in running condition but it is highly recommended that the car be trailered. Prior to starting the car the gas tank was drained and flushed, oil was changed and cooling system flushed. New spark plug wires were installed and the car started right-up!!! Currently a 1972 Ford 390 engine is installed but the original engine and transmission are included as well. I would recommend that the car be gone through mechanically before taking it on any long trips. Other notes: The A/C unit is included but the A/C is not working.Headlights, Blinkers, Emergency Flasher, and Sequential taillights are functional.Heater/Blower are not functioning.Power Top needs new, OEM rotary switch installed (included)FM radio is functional - Extra 8-track player is included (functional status is unknown).Driver's Power Seat is functional excepting for center control switch is broken but I am including a replacement switch (that will need to be installed) as well as a spare power seat motor.All power window motors are functional excepting the passenger door vent window. INTERIOR: Interior is complete but the car will need an interior seat kit including carpet. Interior trim is in good shape excepting the pillar trim pieces which have a fair amount of pitting. The original dash appears to be in perfect shape!TOP: Top is in fair condition; there is a 3 inch tear in the center of the top just behind the front-most top-bow and the rear window needs replacement. PARTS INCLUDED - I am including the following parts: NOS set of taillightsNOS set of chrome levers for soft top frame.8-track player.NOS control rotary switch for soft top.Driver's side fender.Power seat control and extra motorOriginal Motor & Transmission.
