This is a beautiful original 1964 Thunderbird convertible that is ready to go anywhere. This is not a restoration, but a very original car that has been lovingly maintained for over 50 years. In those years only a little over 51,000 miles were put on the car, while it spend all the rest of its time garaged. The car was repainted twenty years ago and it is the most high quality paint job that I have ever seen. I have even had automotive painters marveling at the quality of the paint. The following list will show work that has been done in the last thirty years, for which I have over $28,000 in receipts: 1983 Rebuilt Trans. 1983 Replaced water pump and intake gasket set. 1984 Major brake work and normal servicing. 1984 2 shocks 1985 exhaust repair 1985 repair convertible top operation and valve job. 1985 top repair and neutral safety switch 1985 New convertible top 1992 -1994 Cosmetic Restoration including exterior paint 1996 Major mechanical work performed 1999 Convertible top operation repaired. 2006 Carburetor overhauled and additional mechanical work performed. 2006 Power brake booster replaced. 2013 Windshield chip repaired 2013 Carburetor. rebuilt, grease, oil change, & fuel filter 2013 Repaired carburetor linkage, dash resistor installed to repair gauge operation, regulator, & minor misc. items. 2013 Front Grill was removed and a few of the aluminum bars were repaired by Manns Restoration 2014 Replaced lifter and push rod. 2014 Exhaust repair 2014 Paint was professionally buffed and the car was detailed. The buffing was done with much care. There is not a swirl mark of any type. The paint work 20 years ago was done to high standard and the buffing and finish are show quality. The motor was not washed due to age. This area was wiped with a damp cloth only. The car runs very well and cruises comfortably at 70 mph on the freeway. Now for the flaws: although it does have air conditioning installed the air currently does not blow cold. There is a crack in the dash cover and cracks in the drivers arm rest. The fuel gauge does not read accurately. I would be happy to help with loading the car for shipment for the high bidder. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
