UP FOR AUCTION, AGAIN, BECAUSE IT DID NOT SELL. IS THIS 1959 FORD THUNDERBIRD.IT IS WHITE AND TEAL ON OUTSIDE, AND BLACK AND WHITE INTERIOR. THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS. THE TRANSMITION WORKS GOOD. THE BRAKES WORK GOOD. IT IS DRIVEABLE. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT A LONG WAY. IT DOES HAVE RUST ON UNDERNEATH, IT IS VERY RESTORABLE. MOST OF THE RUST IS SURFACE RUST. IT DID HAVE A SMALL, DIME SIZED, RUST HOLE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT FLOOR BOARD. MY HUSBAND, ED, PUT SHEET METAL OVER IT, BEFORE PUTTING IN NEW BLACK CARPET.IT HAS LIKE NEW VYNEL SEATS, FRONT AND BACK. NEW BLACK CARPET. IT HAS A NICE HEAD LINER. THE INTERIOR LIGHT WORKS. THE HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURNING SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS, ALL WORK. IT IS A 2 DOOR HARD TOP.IT HAS A SOLID BODY AND FRAME. WE HAVE AN EXTRA HOLLEY CARBEURATOR THAT WILL COME WITH IT, WHICH THAT COST US 100 DOLLARS, ON EBAY. HE PUT IN NEW PLUGS, PLUG,WIRES,POINTS, COIL. CHANGED THE OIL. PUT IN FRESH TRANSMITION FLOID, ANTIFREEZE. IT HAS NEW BATTERY. PUT ON NEW 1959 FORD THUNERBIRD DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE.PUT IN NEW WINDLACE, TRUNK WEATHER STRIPPING. WE FIXED SOME DINGS IN THE CAR BODY AND SANDED THEM, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES. WE HAVE $6,OOO INVESTED IN THIS CAR. WE ARE ASKING $4,000 FOR IT. I HAVE MORE PICTURES THAN I CAN PUT ON. SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE I WILL EMAIL THEM. YOU MAY EMAIL US OR CALL US AT 217-896-2117. IF WE ARE NOT HOME LEAVE A MESSAGE, AND WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. ONLY SERIOUS BIDDERS PLEASE. THIS IS A PROJECT CAR SO WOULD ADVISE IT TO BE TRAILERED, HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT ENOUGH TO KNOW.

WE ALSO HAVE THE FENDER SKIRTS FOR THE CAR IN THE TRUNK, AND SOME OTHER ODDS AND ENDS THAT WILL BE WITH THE CAR.
