Vehicle Description
I have collected cars for 35 years. This is one from my personal
collection of classics, see others at www.gccc.us The Square Birds
are my personal favorite of the Birds.This 50-year old classic
automobile is in remarkable condition. It has been kept in an
enclosed garage along with other cars in the sellers private
collection and has never been driven in the rain or in anything
less than perfect weather. It has been regularly maintained and
driven only a few miles each month to keep the moving parts
lubricated and in good working condtion. This car is a true
survivor and in wonderful condition. Just standing next to it you
get the feeling you're in a time capsule which takes you back to
1960. We believe this magnificent automobile is mostly all original
and has never been taken apart or restored. And while we're not
sure of what the original color may have been, we're sure it has
been repainted at some point because the paint is in much too good
condition to still be the original. The mileage shown is 23,950,
however, due to the year, we assume the odometer has turned over
once, however, there is no visual or mechanical indication that
this car has excessive mileage on it. The interior of the 1960
model Thunderbird is very unique with a story to match. The front
bucket seats and long center console (front to back) are the answer
to a unique engineering problem. The Thunderbird sat very low,
lower than most other automobiles at the time. The power train
needed to be revised in order to fit under the car without dragging
on the ground. The result was to burrow it higher in the car and
offer a long center console. The center console was a welcomed
amenity, allowing buttons, switches and ashtrays to be built into
it. Disclosure: the power to the rear windows have been
disconnected to keep the rear window from being rolled down because
it does tend to come off the track so some minor repair may be
needed; also please be advised that the drivers side window has a
crack. There's no reason you can't get in this car and drive it
anywhere, but its real beauty is in its value as a classic
collectors car. Anyone who watches the auctions on TV are
constantly reminded as to the excellent investment buy the early
Thunderbirds are now and will continue to be in the future. So bid
early and bid often and this marvelous automobile could soon be
yours! New brakes all the way around 2--25-2015
