I have owned this T-Bird since 7/28/2017 and have put only 432 miles on the vehicle. This is due to the partial restoration I have done with approximately $7200 in parts spent (lots of sweat equity). Price is 37,900, millage is 43000. Restoration includes the following:
-New stainless steel/chrome wire wheels
-New Tires
-Corrected intake manifold choke problem, including new old stock manifold
-Professionally rebuilt carburetor
-New stainless steel nuts and bolts throughout engine
-Correct sparkplug shielding and wire mountings
-Installed Pertronix replacement points and Flamethrower coil while keeping stock look
-New spark plugs and dist wires
-Highly detailed engine/engine bay
-All overdrive components replaced including wiring harness
-An abundant replacement of rubber grommets/seals throughout car
-All new hoses/clamps throughout engine bay w/Ford Logo where appropriate
-Replaced driver’s side window and new seal on rear hard top window
-New chrome around steering column
-New radio, looks like original but based on new technology, including cell phone calls
-Updated clock with modern day movement
-Corrected many wiring issues including new wire looms
-Restored heater/defroster including the 3 vacuum switches (non-working when purchased)
-Restored glove box
-New headlight switch
-New old stock taillights w/Ford logo
-New wiper arms and blades, fixed vacuum wiper motor
-New battery cables (3)
-Corrected soft top rear clamps
-Hardtop storage trolley and garage celling hardtop pulley system comes with the car
What the restoration shop did costing $780 in July 2020:
-Corrected gas tank leak and engine oil leak
-Resurfaced all 4 brake drums
-Repack wheel bearings
-Adjust clutch, brakes and valves
-Balance wheels
What is needed:
-Gas and temp gauges not working properly, have original old stock replacement gas gauge, installed new temp sensor. All other gauges work as they should
-Complete tire jack
Manuals and additional parts will come with the car. Will also include all invoices.
