Description
This is a rare T-Bird Convertible. The first year Ford came out with a 4 seat version. It is a restoration in progress. Over $9. 00 has been spent to date in the process. Most of the money was spent on the engine. transmission. front and rear suspension. However. the engine well and the trunk were sanded and repainted to original specs in the process since the engine and transmission were pulled to simplify the restoration. The convertible top and the interior (including the trunk liner. dash board. carpet and seats) were replaced or restored. There is also an upgraded sound system installed discretely to keep the integrity of the car in tact. The car still needs new paint and chrome to complete the restoration and really make it "shine". It was always intended to be driven and enjoyed so normal wear and tear from the original restoration is apparent under the hood and in the back seat - That is compared to it looked like it came off the show room floor when it was originally finished. but it has been driven (only in the summer) for the last 4 years. Other issues to consider include the following: Even though there has been significant work done restoring and refurbishing the engine and transmission there are still leaks. the electric window control for the right rear window is not working properly. The power top hydraulics needs fluid and appears to have a leak in one of the hoses. There are photos of the restoration process. original parts and manuals.
