Vehicle Description

Loaded Landau Edition. I really like this car. It's sophisticated, classy, smooth and comfortable. Very honest car 47,000 miles that I believe to be true.

EXTERIOR: I'm impressed with the body. It's straight, fit's very square and flush. I didn't find any bubbles, there is a scratch in the drivers 1/4 panel that I did not point out in the video. Overall the show shows really well, classy colors. I believe the chrome and trim are original and I'm very impressed. It's all very bright, shiny, straight and fits the car like it's supposed to. The windshield is crystal clear, gasket is soft. Actually all the glass is really clear. The padded vinyl top is like brand new. All the stainless around the roof and the Landau bars are excellent. Door jambs are very tidy, soft weatherstrips, the latches are clean. The doors shut like it's a new car. Hubcaps are shiny, not banged up, they have the optional spinners. The Michelin tires look like they're in excellent shape. I didn't even talk about the cool design. Look like a missile with rockets thrusters for taillights.

INTERIOR: That interior is very impressive, it shows no signs of abuse. It looks so well cared for. Look at the door panels, they are mint, not kicked, cracked or warped. The wood grain and moldings are excellent. The interior lights work including in the doors. I was surprised to see it has genuine leather upholstery. The entire front and rear seats are leather. It's original and still soft. Has it's chrome piping and Thunderbird medallions. Look at the aluminum trim, they're not beat up or scratched. Both seats are power! The carpet's in excellent condition, has rubber Thunderbird mats. Has original seat belts in front. The entire instrument area is beautiful, all of the chrome sparkles. Beautiful instrument panel. The horn ring, air conditioning vents, it's all beautiful. The wood grain is mint, there is one small crack on top of the dash pad at the corner of the speaker. Has a white perforated headliner in excellent shape. Visors, mirror and trim is excellent. Unique features include the swing away wheel, center console and this one is loaded with options. The original radio has been rebuilt and upgraded with modern internals, has aux jack. It plays loud and clear. Has owner's manual.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Very clean, well preserved original. Powered by big 390 motor with 300 horsepower and it features factory air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. It has details like factory stickers, washer bag, reproduction radiator hose and clamps, has hood insulation. 4 barrel carb was just replaced.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: That big trunk compartment is rock solid. It has the complete plaid liner kit. Has a spare tire. Bottom of the trunk lid has it's original factory paint and original stickers. The light works, latches are clean, weatherstrip is excellent. There's a car cover included also.

UNDERSIDE: I was under this car myself. It is clean and respectable. The metal floors and structure appear rock solid. The rear suspension was rebuilt- new leaf springs and upgraded coil over shocks. Stainless exhaust to the muffler, tailpipe and muffler looks recent. New fuel tank.

I drove this car, wow. So smoooooth. It rode so nice, steered so easy. It was quiet, comfortable and functioned properly. Someone is going to get one hell of a special car without spending a lot of money!
