Vehicle Detail

HOWDEE...up for sale tonight is a 1958 Ford T-Bird (thunderbird)...it was the one called the "square bird". It was only made for 58-60 and then once again another body change. This is a EXCELLENT winter project. I had gotten this car to be part of my collection but due to money, time and space...and the fact that my collection has gotten wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of control I am gonna start parting with some of my cars. I knew when I got this car it would be a lot of work...the body looks pretty solid...in fact this car was owned by my mechanic before me...and the man who he got it from was an owner of a auto parts house in town. The car has been stored a lot. My mechanic was driving the car for a few years then the master brake cylinder went out and he never fixed it, hoping himself to restore the car for himself...and then finally I got it. I know the car had been repainted the white color at some point and it wasnt done very well adn the paint is peeling off. I think it was a shade of red before. I have had the motor running... my mechanic has started it for me a few times...(gravity fed from a gas can) for some reason was told the gas tank needed to be cleaned etc...so have never put gas in it myself...I know the motor was rebuilt at some point, think it was done by the owner of the auto parts house, well he had it done, and it is a over bored 410ci. it does have the power windows etc...this is a very cool looking car...and I wish I could have restored this car like I had wanted...but I know I dont have time for it so now it is for sale...the motor has started and will start again...but I have not started it in a long time (since before the beginning of the year)...but with very little effort it will run...as for the interior, I was gonna have the interrior redone, the seats are very dirty and might clean up ok...the carpet is ok...but the dash itself looks like it has melted.... I WILL TRY AND GET MORE PICS AS NEEDED FOR THE AUCTION Any questions feel free to ask. THIS CAR WILL NOT DRIVE HOME, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT...IT WILL HAVE TO BE SHIPPED. I WILL BE WILLING TO BE THERE FOR YOUR SHIPPER TO COME AND GET THE CAR (YOUR EXPENSE) This vehicle has no warranty expressed or implied. So ask questions before hand. Thanks in advance. Don't forget to look at my other auctions. I KNOW MY BUY IT NOW IS HIGH...BUT GOING BY THE OLD CARS REPORT PRICE GUIDE THE CAR IS BETWEEN A #5 - #6 BETTER THAN A #6 BUT NOT A #5...SO I HAVE PRICED ACCORDINGLY...BUT THAT BEING SAID...IT IS A JUMPING OFF POINT AND THIS IS A BUY IT NOW BEST OFFER AUCTION SO PLACE YOUR OFFER AND WE WILL GO FROM THERE. I AM NOT UNREASONABLE AND AM VERY EASY TO DEAL WITH AND NEED THIS CAR SOLD. I HAD THIS CAR SOLD TO ANOTHER MECHANIC HERE RECENTLY BUT THE DAY THAT HE WAS TO PICK IT UP HE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND WASN'T ABLE TO COMPLETE. THIS CAR DOES APPEAR TO BE FAIRLY RUST FREE. I AM LOCATED IN BELLINGHAM, WA 98225 AND EASY ACCESS TO THE FREEWAY.
