1959 Ford Thunderbird 430 Coupe. This is a very clean, almost rust free, 430 Coupe. I have a clear, original, Utah Title, in my name. This Thunderbird was purchased by the previous owner for restoration. His plans changed and he decided to sell the car. The 430 Thunderbird Coupe is a relatively rare Thunderbird. Only around 1500 1959 Thunderbirds came from the factory with the 430 Lincoln Engine. Ford got into NASCAR during this time period, and used the 430 Thunderbird as Ford first stock car racer. In 1959, when Motor Trend Magazine picked their first "Car of the Year," the 1959 Ford Thinderbird 430 was selected. It is the very first Motor Trend Car of the Year. All "Squarebirds" have become very popular, but the 430 cars are growing in value. This car is clearly identified as a "J" car on the VIN and Title. It is not a clone. Please look closely at all of the photos. The floors are dry and rust free, the trunk is in excellent condition, and the doors, hood, and truck align properly. All the glass is good. The interior is in very good condition. The passenger's side door panel is in the trunk. The reserve on the car is very low. I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the negative aspects of the car in detail. 1. The 430 Engine and C6 transmission come with the car, but are currently not in the car. (I don't think the 430 engine is the car's original motor, but there is no way to tell. The title and VIN numbers show that the car is a factory original 430 car.) 2. There are some minor missing trim pieces. These parts are readily available in several aftermarket catalogs. 3. The headliner has seam splits. 4. On the passenger's side front, lower, fender there is some rust showing. it is not serious, but it will need to be addressed. A $500. PayPal deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction closing, unless other arrangements have been made. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please, email/message or give me a call. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction.

I just love old cars and this Thunderbird is one too many.
