THE GARY COOPER CAR COLLECTION IS UP FOR AUCTION, ALL EIGHTEEN VEHICLES WILL BEAUCTIONED OFF ON E-BAYNOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION ITS JUST NOT THEE GARY COOPER, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO REMEMBER HIM. LOL. BEING OFFERED TODAY IS A PRETTY NICE 1964THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE. THE GENTELMAN WHO I PURCHASEDTHE VEHICLE FROM HAD ITRESTORED SOMEYEARS BACK BUTSOON AFTERCOMPLETION THE GENTLEMAN BECAME ILL AND THE THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRY STORAGE WHERE IT REMAINEDFOR YEARS. I WAS ASKED TO GET THE CAR RUNNING AND TO CHECK IT OVER WHICH I HAVE.I HAVE FOUND THIS BIRD TO HAVE A VERY STRAIGHT BODY, GOOD CLEAN INTERIORANDIS QUIET RUNNING. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECTLY AND THE CAR FEELS TIGHT TO DRIVE. WE SERVICED THE BRAKES, AND REBUILT THE CARBURETOR,DRAINED THE GAS TANK BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH AS DURING THE TEST DRIVE SHE WILL SUCKUP OLD GASOLINE WHICH LOADS UPTHE CARBURETOR AND YOU CAN SMELL IT, HOWEVER IF YOU HOLD THE PEDAL DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS IT CLEARS UP AND RUNS FINE. I WAS HOPING TO DRIVE IT MORE AS THE MORE I DROVE IT THE BETTER IT SEEMED TO RUN.DUE TO THE LENGTH OFSTORAGE I WOULD SUGGEST ALL THE FLUIDS BE CHANGED ALONG WITH UPDATING THE TIRES BEFORE ANY LONG DRIVES. . THE OLD BIRD HAS SOME NICKS AND CHIPS BUT THE PAINT STILL SHINES PRETTY WELL. THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW IS NOT WORKING AT THIS TIMEI HAVE ORDERED ANEWWINDOW MOTOR.THE EXHAUST IS VERY QUIET ALSO. I CHECKED OVER THE BODY FOR RUST AND FOUND ONE SMALL PATCH PANEL ON THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER REPAIRED DURING RESTORATION AND LOOKS GOOD. THIS IS NOT A RUSTY CAR. FLOORS, TRUNK, ROCKERS, FRAME, ALL LOOK AWESOME, WITH THE CAR COMES A PHOTO ALBLUM OF THE RESTORATION. THE BUMPERS AND CHROME LOOK GREAT. MOST IMPORTANTLY AND I CROSSED MY FINGERS BEFORE TRYING IT, WAS THE TOP, HAPPY TOREPORT IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY. THE CONVERTIBLE TOPIS GOOD DRIVER QUALITY NO TEARS STILL LOOKS OKAY BUT THE PLASTIC REAR WINDOW HAS YELLOWED ITS NOT BROKEN OR BRITTLE BUTDISCOLORED I DID NOT TRY TO CLEAN THE PLASTIC ASI DOUBT IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THIS T-BIRD AND THE REST OF THE COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME DIRECTLY AT 508-864-5974 AND AGAIN MY NAME IS GARY COOPER. GOOD LUCK BIDDING. THE VEHICLE IS BEING OFFERED FOR SALE LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY. tHE RESERVE IS VERY LOW SO BID TO WIN....
