HI. FOR SALE IS MY 1965 THUNDERBIRD. I BOUGHT THIS CAR 7-10 FROM A GUY IN CALIFORNIA. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, EDDIE) TO SAY THIS GUY MISREPRESENTED THE CAR WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. IT WAS DELIVERED TO ME : WITH A FLAT TIRE, NON-WORKING POWER TOP, NON-WORKING POWER WINDOWS, NON-WORKING GAS GAGUE, AND FILTHY BOTH INSIDE AND OUT. I'M SORRY BUT WHO LETS A CAR GO THIS WAY. AT LEAST CLEAN IT! ANYWAY, SINCE THEN THE POWER TOP IS FIXED, THE WINDOWS ARE FIXED, THE GAS GAGUE IS FIXED, AND THE TIRE HAS BEEN FIXED. IT ALSO HAS BEEN WASHED AND WAXED AND THE INTERIOR CLEANED. THE REPAIRS COST ME A LOT OF MONEY AND THATS THE REASON I AM SELLING. TRYING TO RECOUP SOME OF MY LOSS. THIS IS A PERFECT MY LOSS YOUR GAIN SITUATION! THE POSITIVE POINTS WHEN I GOT THE CAR WERE ITS LASER STRAIGHT, ALL METAL BODY AND THE FACT THAT THE CAR RUNS GREAT! THE BODY PASSES THE MAGNET TEST WITH FLYING COLORS, AND THAT IS HUGE GIVEN TBIRDS RUST ISSUES. THE WHITE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO RUST ANYWHERE. THE BURGUNDY INTERIOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE. AS U CAN SEE, THE SEATS ARE IN FANTASTIC SHAPE, BOTH FRONT AND REAR. THE DASH HAS 2 CRACKS DUE TO AGE. THE TOP IS ALMOST NEW, NO RIPS OR TEARS. THE MECHANISM WAS REPAIRED AND WORKS FINE. AN EXTRA SWITCH WAS INSTALLED BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT WHICH BYPASSES THE RELAYS AND WILL OPEN THE DECK LID JUST IN CASE. THE CAR HAS THE SUPER RARE RECLINING PASSENGER SEAT. THE POWER WINDOWS HAVE BEEN FIXED AND WORK FINE. THE AC WORKS BUT NEEDS A FILL. I NEVER USE AC IN THE CONVERTIBLE ANYWAY. THE ENGINE BAY COULD USE A DETAIL. IT WAS A COMPLETE MESS WHEN IT GOT IT AND SPENT ABOUT 3 HRS CLEANING IT UP. THE CAR RUNS LIKE A CLOCK AND IS DRY AS A BONE UNDERNEATH. THE FLOOR PANS, ETC ARE GREAT. THE DOORS SHUT GREAT AND THE BODY GAPS HAVE NO SAG. REAL IMPORTANT WITH BIRDS. U CAN PUT THE MAGNET ANYWHERE AND IT WILL STICK. VERY RARE TO FIND A BIRD WITHOUT BONDO AND IS STRAIGHT. THIS IS A GREAT DRIVER CAR. WITH SOME TLC, IT CAN BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER LEVEL. I ALREADY HAVE 2 OTHERS IM WORKING ON SO BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE OF FIXING SOMEONES LIES, I NEED TO SELL HER. I DO NOT DO BUSINESS THAT WAY, CHECK MY FEEDBACK. THERE IS A SMALL CREASE IN THE BACK OF THE DECKLID THATS HARD TO SEE, BUT I PHOTOGRAPHED IT ANYWAY. LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN DRIVE THIS BIRD RIGHT NOW AND ENJOY IT OR TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL IF U WANT. TBIRD LOVERS LIKE ME KNOW THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY NUMBER OF PARTS COMPANIES. I REMOVED THE TRUNK LINER KIT BECAUSE IT WAS CRAP. A NEW KIT IS ABOUT $120 BUCKS. I HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THE CAR ACCURATELY, BUT ANY QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED. HOPEFULLY THIS BIRD WILL GO TO ANOTHER TBIRD LOVER. FEEL FREE TO MAKE ME AN OFFER, BUT MAKE IT FAIR. MY ASKING PRICE IS WAY BELOW BOOK. PLEASE DONT WASTE MY TIME AND YOURS WITH A LOWBALL OFFER. THIS IS A VERY GOOD LOOKING AND RUNNING CAR. I HAVE NOT TITLED THE CAR IN MY NAME BUT HAVE A CLEAR CALIFORNIA TITLE SIGNED BY THE SELLER I GOT IT FROM. RECEIPTS AVAIL FOR THE REPAIRS I MADE. THE EXPENSE WAS RELATIVELY LARGE SO I DIDNT WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO TITLE THE CAR, GET PLATES, TAXES, ETC. I ALSO HAVE A TONNEAU COVER NOT SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR THIS CAR, BUT IT WORKS AND LOOKS JUST FINE. IF THE BUYER WANTS IT, ILL THROW IT IN THE DEAL! IN RESPONSE TO A FEW INQUIRIES, THE SEQUENTIAL TURN SIGNALS WORK PERFECTLY! THANKS A LOT1
