NO RESERVE!1966 T- BIRD CONVERTIBLE. RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL. RECENT CALIPERS HOSES AND BRAKE LINES TO FRONT. RECENT TUNE UP. NEW FUEL PUMP. CARB REBUILT A WHILE BACK. POWER WINDOW MOTORS ALL WORK (FRONT WINDOWS NEED HELP FROM SITTING AROUND TOO LONG)AS WELL AS SEAT MOTOR. SEQUENTIAL REAR TURN SIGNALS WORK. RELAY TO TOP LOCATED ON FIREWALL NOT ACTUATING TOP DOWN CYCLE. DOES ACTUATE TOP UP CYCLE. I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO WORK ON THIS. TOP CAN BE PUT UP AND DOWN MANUALLY EASILY. THE MECHANISM ALWAYS WORKED PERFECTLY FOR THE 12 YEARS I HAVE OWNED CAR AND SHOULD BE EASY FIX. BOOK FOR TOP OPERATION AND REPAIR IS INCLUDED. VERY GOOD STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. MILEAGE BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT AND IS DOCUMENTED FROM PREVIOUS OWNER. PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES CAREFULLY. NO DETAILING HAS BEEN DONE UNDER THE HOOD.(FACTORY AIR CLEANER REMOVED FOR PICTURE) ON THE UNDERSIDE RUSTPROOFING IS OLD AND WAS WELL DONE AT THE TIME. THE ALL IMPORTANT UNIBODY AREAS AT FRONT AND REAR OF REAR SPRING SHACKLES ARE VERY GOOD ORIGINAL SHAPE WITH NO HOLES. WHEN LIFTING CAR ON A VEHICLE LIFT SUPPORTING IT ON FRONT PADS AND THE FRONT OF REAR SPRING SHACKLES THERE IS NO SAG TO CAR AND DOORS STILL OPEN AND CLOSE NICELY ON THE LIFT. THAT IS THE TEST THAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN BUYING ANY 60'S T-BIRD CONVERTIBLE TO DETERMINE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF UNIBODY. FLOOR PANS AND TRUNK PAN REPLACED AND PROPERLY WELDED PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS FRONT MUFFLERS AND REAR RESONATORS. RIGHT SIDE RESONATOR IS LEAKING AT BOTTOM SEAM. THE ENGINE RUNS WELL AND IS QUITE RESPONSIVE WITH NO BEARING OR LIFTER NOISE. I REPLACED RIGHT EXHAUST MANIFOLD THAT WAS CRACKED .AN EXHAUST LEAK AT GASKET HAS STARTED ALTHOUGH IT GOES AWAY WHEN ENGINE WARMS UP. THER ARE NO FLUID LEAKS AF ANY KIND AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTS POSITIVELY AND SMOOTHLY AS IT DID WHEN NEW. BODY RETAINS ALL ORIGINAL PANELS (LOOK VERY STRAIGHT) WITH RUST REPAIR DONE AT BOTTOM OF PANELS AS NEEDED. ALL CHROME IS IN NEED OF RECHROMING AS IT IS ORIGINAL. BUMPERS ARE VERY STRAIGHT. WIRE WHEELS ARE BALANCED AND RUN TRUE DOWN THE ROAD BUT CHROME NEEDS TO BE REDONE . THIS CAR HAS SPENT MOST OF ITS TIME IN STORAGE IN GARAGE AND NEEDS SOME TINKERING ON SMALL ITEMS, BUT IT IS A REAL DECENT CAR. CONVERTIBLE TOP STILL KEEPS THE WATER OUT BUT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. NOTICE THAT RAM PINS REMOVED TO PUT TOP UP AND DOWN. ALL COMPONENTS ARE COMPLETE. BOTTOM OF REAR SEAT DAMAGED AND NEEDS REUPOLSTERING. I BELIEVE I HAVE LOCATED AN ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT. REST OF INTERIOR IS QUITE NICE. PLEASE COME TEST DRIVE OR CALL FOR ADDITIONAL INFO. THESE JETBIRDS HAVE EXPERIENCED NEW POPULARITY AND INCREASE IN VALUE DESPITE RECESSION. THIS CAR IS PRICED TO SELL AND WELL WORTH CHASING TO SHOW CAR STATUS. I HAVE BEEN VERY HARD ON THIS CAR IN DESCRIPTION, BUT I WANT TO DISCLOSE EVERYTHING I CAN.( EVERYONE WALKS UP TO CAR AND SAYS, "GORGEOUS! OR "BEAUTIFUL") IF YOU HAVE LOW FEEDBACK CONTACT ME TO BID, OR YOUR BID WILL BE REMOVED. DO NOT WAIT UNTILL END OF AUCTION TO BID OR PRESENT OFFERS OR TRADES. CAR FOR SALE LOCALLY AND COULD BE SOLD PRIOR TO END DATE OF AUCTION. FOR MORE INFO CONTACT ME @ 207-650-6355 ANYTIME
