Here's our interpretation of this Fabulous T-BirdThough this is a beautiful T-Bird. keep in mind that it is 58 yrs old and unless we were there from day one with this car we can not verify it's day to day history or mileage accuracy. We go by what we see and can document. That is the case with most classic cars anywhere. In our Opinion this is collector's or enthusiasts must have with a great story and pedigree. Born Inca Gold in color with a Black & White Interior during restoration changed to the gorgeous Torch Red you see today. Interior changed to all Ivory White (pearl). This car was originally optioned with both the soft and factory hard top as it still has today. The soft top is Black and located behind seat folded in top frame where it belongs when stowed away. Everything on this car has either been rebuilt or replaced with correct NEW part. The 312ci V8 Thunderbird Engine produces 245HP and it is exactly like it was when new. Underhood is a sight of awe. nbsp;hose clamps. nbsp;inspection stamps. wiring. etc. Just like it rolled off the assembly line. All the factory gauges work beautifully and like stated NEW! Interior panels and seat have a superb finish with lots of quality and attention to detail. My favorite part of this beauty is the undercarriage. nbsp; it looks better than new. Take notice of all the pictures. tough to find any flaws!The original wheels and covers are wrapped in vintage ply-bias gangster huge white walls and it looks great. The chrome and stainless again in exceptional condition with the exhaust also Ford (Fomoco) correctly routed exiting through the rear bumper openings. When you do things right you only have to do it once and it's evident in every aspect of this car. Obviously based on age of restoration the paint does show some webbing and there's a paint chip above the driver's side headlight. It is still by all means a Show & Museum Quality T-Bird.
