Vehicle Detail

CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a distinctively original piece of true American history and nostalgia from the late 1950's of American classic automobiles. Up for sale and your bidding is a 1959 Ford Thunderbird as found after being stored for 7 years. Only minor work and cleanup was necessary to make this car a nice running, shifting and driving vehicle in very presentable original condition. No armorall or rattle can spray paint was used as a dress-up here. This car is factory original down to the original motor and drivetrain, original interior and factory black paint. It is really a fantastic rare find in this condition. This Thunderbird is equipped with the original 352 c.i. V8 engine, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and WORKING POWER WINDOWS ! The gas tank was drained and refilled with fresh gas. The brake system was bled and the brakes are fully operational. The oil and filter was changed. New spark plugs, points and condenser was installed. The engine bay is clean with absolutely no modifications to engine or wiring. The engine has the original Autolite 4-Barrel carburetor with the tag which has been freshened up with a rebuild kit and cleaning. This is a turn key driver, that runs and drives just fine but would need new tires for frequent use. The tires are older. The wipers, horn and radio are currently not working. The heater blows nice hot air. The interior is in very nice shape considering the age. The padded dash is not cracked. The seats are very nice. The headliner is intact and has one hole above the passenger seat. The door panels are intact but will need a little attention. The exhaust pipes are solid but the mufflers will need to be replaced. The original jack is in the truck but the spare tire is missing. The left quarter panel has a spot at the top near the fin that appears to have had some minor work to repair a scrape. There is very minor rust starting at the lower rocker panels and the passenger side floor. The car is otherwise rust free and in amazing condition considering it is from the northeast. The odometer shows 40073 miles on it. Although I cannot verify that this is original mileage, the overall appearance of the car, condition of the dash and seats and body and undercarriage absolutely leads to the belief that this is actual mileage. Look at the picture of the driver's seat. That is easily the seat of a 40000 mile car. This is an untouched, unmolested, original vehicle that would make a great original driver, or provide an excellent platform for a restoration, or kool kustom project. This Thunderbird is sensibly priced and very affordable. Again contact Jeff at 570 977 0741 with any and all questions. Thanks and good luck. Please check my 100% positive feedback and buy with confidence. Feel free to ask any and all questions. I am an honest ebay seller and have accurately and honestly described this car to the best of my knowledge. Please look at all the photos carefully. If any prospective buyer would request more photos I will be happy to provide more as I only could provide 24 pictures for the auction. I also have a couple minute video of the undercarriage taken while the car was on the lift that I can send to any prospective buyer if they wish to show every detail of the underside of the car. If any prospective buyer would like to come see the car in person I welcome the opportunity. This car is sold in as-is condition with no actual or implied warranty. Come with funds in hand and take it home. If the buyer requests shipping of the vehicle I will be happy to provide a reliable shippers info that they can contact for shipping. They will have to make their arrangements and payments with the shipper. I will be happy to help with the appointment setup, pickup and loading of the car. Or a buyer is more than welcome to come pick up the car themselves. I have a CLEAN PENNSYLVANIA TITLE IN HAND FOR THIS CAR. The title will be properly notarized into the new buyers name upon completion of the sale. Accepted forms of payment are of course funds in hand. Paypal will be accepted for the full amount as long as the buyer is willing to incur the funds transfer fees. A cashier's check is acceptable also however the check will have to fully clear my bank and funds be made available in hand before the title and car will be released. Please check my other auctions for more classic vehicles and Harley parts. Again any questions at all don't hesitate to contact Jeff at 570 977 0741. Thanks and good luck.
