1962 Ford Thunderbird - NO RESERVE

THIS CAR BELONGS TO MY 87 YEAR OLD DAD (SEE PICS). MY FAMILY PURCHASED IT FOR HIM FOR HIS 80TH + BIRTHDAY. WE ARE SELLING AS HE CAN NO LONGER DRIVE. THE CAR HAS APPRX 59,000 ORIGNAL MILES. I BELIEVE WE PURCHASED IT FROM AN OLDER GENTLEMAN IN OHIO WHO ALSO WAS GETTING UP THERE IN AGE.

THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN USED BY MY DAD FOR WEEKEND DRIVES. IT CRUISES NICELY AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. COULD DEFINITELY USE A TUNE UP AND SOME FRESHENING UP.

I TRIED TO BE AS DETAILED AS I COULD ABOUT ANY INFORMATION I/WE KNOW ABOUT THE CAR.

***HE SPENTAPPROXIMATELY $3000 TO REBUILD AND/ORREPLACE THE TRANSMISSION / NEW STARTER / BRAKE BOOSTERS / VOLTAGE REGULATER/TORQUE CONVERTER / FUEL HOSES... (SEE ATTACHED INVOICE FOR SERVICES RENDERED)

PAINT: PAINT IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SMALL CHIP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER. A LIGHT SCRATCH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND A SEPERATION ON THE REAR PASSENGER QUARTER PANEL (ALL PICS ARE ATTACHED)

INTERIOR: MOST OF THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL, AM PRETTY SURE THAT THE FRONT SEAT COVERS ARE REPLACEMENTS. THERE IS A TEAR IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, HERE THE SEAT FOLDS (SEAT PIC). OTHER THAN THAT THE INTERIOR IS IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE FOR ITS AGE.

GAUGES AND AIRCONDITIONER/RADIO/CLOCK:

• RADIO WORKS

• AIRCONDITIONER WORKS, LOWS ICE COLD (USES A RIGGED SWITCH MY DADS MECHANIC FRIEND INSTALLED AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO MUCH WORK TO TAKE OFF DASH AND WHATEVER ELSE TO GET THE ORIGINAL SWITCHES TO WORK) (SEE PIC)

• CLOCK DOES NOT WORK

• GAS GAUGE ONLY GOES TO HALF FULL WHEN FULL

• POWER SEAT WORKS

• ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS- MY DAD REPLACED THE SWITCH FOR THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROLS LAST YEAR AND IT WORKED FINE, E HASN’T DRIVEN THE CAR FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND NOW IT IS NOT WORKING (I WAS TOLD IT NEEDS TO EITHER BE REPLACED (APPRX COST $100) OR SOMEONE CAN JUST CLEAN THE CONNECTIONS (BUT I WOULD RATHER LEAVE THAT FOR THE NEXT OWNER, S I STATED I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH CLASSIC CAR REPAIRS. THE PASSENGER SIDE SWITCH NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED; IT IS CURRENTLY NOT WORKING, UT WORKED 6 MONTHS AGO.

TIRES: THEY ARE OLDER (I WOULD GUESS 5-10 YEARS OLD, UT HAVE ALMOST NO USAGE EXCEPT WEEKEND DRIVES). THE RIMS CAME FROM A 1956 T-BIRD AND THE HUBCAPS ON THE CAR ARE 1956. WE DO HAVE THE 1962 HUBCAPS AS WELL WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED IN SALE.

ENGINE: ENGINE IS ORIGINAL AND RUNS STRONG. NEEDS TO BE PRIMED WITH STARTING FLUID FOR FIRST TIME USE. CARBURATER WAS REBUILT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THERE IS A PINHOLE IN THE MANIFOLD THAT IS MAKING THE ENGINE A BIT NOISY. MY DADS MECHANIC FRIEND USED JB WELD LAST YEAR AND IT WORKED FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND THEN MUST HAVE GOTTEN BLOWN OUT. I DIDN’T WANT TO PUT THE JB WELD ON AGAIN, S I FEEL IT IS BETTER TO DISCLOSE.

BODY: I WAS TOLD WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A COLLECTER IN OHIO (IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY) THAT THE CAR WAS NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND THE BODY IS SUPER STRAIGHT). APPEARS TO HAVE VIRTUALLY NO RUST.

TRANSMISSION: WAS REBUILT A FEW YEARS BACK. I ATTACHED A LIST OF THE WORK THAT WAS DONE.
