I am the 2nd owner of This Beautiful all original example of a 1985 30th anniversary Ford Thunderbird. This car currently shows 8,601.5 miles on its futuristic for the day digital dashboard! This preserved 32 year old beauty needs to be in someone's collection or a museum! The tires are the original purple stripe Good-Year Eagle VR60'S. The Wipers are even original! Air filter and breather original, brake pads original, rear drums never removed, Spare tire and jack appear to have never been removed from the trunk. This car has never had its Medium Regatta Blue Metallic paint (or the silver for that matter) touched up in any way. There were only 5,000 of these examples made, all of them came with the same paint schemes and the blue highly optioned Elan interior. Issues with the T-Bird;The Wheels do have some corrosion, possibly driven at a beach in California? I acid cleaned the wheels, removing and documenting the wheel weights, and I clear-coated them with 2 stage product to preserve there originality. The tires are out of balance,32 year old tires, long term storage, not a good combination! I have no Ford paperwork for this car. I do have a clear Texas title in my hand, but no ''jacket'' included in this sale.The interior headliner is starting to sag over the drivers head.There are some hard plastic blue pained parts on the interior that have paint issues. It almost appears that the paint never stuck, or the plastic de-gassed taking the paint?The ''service'' light is illuminated on the dash.This car is currently not a ''driver''. I made all of my efforts to ''preserve'' this 9k mile car. If a buyer wanted to drive this T-Bird it would not take a lot of effort. What I refer to as a ''driver'' is something that is currently driving reliably. I have not driven this car sense I have owned it.Small paint scratches and some very small ''chips''. But you need to look hard for them! I did have some paint less dent work done, and there are some minor scratches and chips that could be easily hidden with some good touch-up work, I felt that by leaving these blemishes as-is shows just how real this car is I have made every effort to be honest about this T-Bird, and if there are any questions, or if an interested buyer would like to see more details in an area please call me personally. The car is for sale locally and I will remove this add if sold. Thank You! Dan (607)341-5954 Bill Elliot, Bob Glidden, Drag, Race, Fox, Mustang, Preserved, Preservation, Collector, Rare, Museum.
