1961 Ford Thunderbird 23,000 miles, 390, Project or Parts, Complete Car

Up For Auction:1961 Ford ThunderbirdAs of this Listing we have lost the ability to store this car (and several other cars also on EBAY) indoors so it needs to go. This was my Great Uncles Car. He Bought it used in the mid sixties and seldom drove it. In the mid 70's someone broke the passenger side window out. For one reason or another it was parked in their garage and never driven again. We extracted it from that garage several years ago. THE GOOD:Car is complete and unmolested. Electrical system seems to work other than window/seat motors are all frozen. 390 4v FE Motor (frozen but totally complete and original) C6 Transmission and 9" rear end. Dash Cluster in great shape. Tilt away steering works correctly. Lots of other useable interior parts. Seats will need recovered. AC System is complete. Lots of the stainless and chrome is good or restorable. Everything above the trim line looks very nice and shows it in pictures. Garage had cats living in it so no mice. THE BAD: Car was an Indiana Car from day one and saw road salt (those snow tires were on it when we got it). Most body panels have at least some rust. The rear quarters are the worst. Doghouse needs patchwork here and there. Floors are solid on flat parts. Trans tunnel has rust. Trunk is solid until you get to the inner qtr panels then they start to look like the outer qtr panels. Passenger Door Glass is Shattered. Stainless frame is good. This car needs a total restoration. but would make an excellent project or parts car for someone else's Thunderbird. I encourage any serious bidders to contact me through ebay and leave a callback number and I will answer any questions in a timely manner. Please give this car a good home. Thanks for Looking. Car has no warranty or guarantees. Winning Bidder pays $250 deposit. Winning Bidder is responsible for Pickup and transportation from 46341 Indiana. Car is on a gravel driveway ready to be loaded on a car trailer. Car is heavy. Would recommend a trailer with a winch. This item is being relisted due to no pay bidder. Never even came to look at the car. We also have a new duplicate title coming in the mail this week. On Mar-31-15 at 16:44:10 PDT. seller added the following information:So everyone knows. I taped up the passenger window with garbage bags right after these pictures. The car isn't gonna be waterlogged from being outside. Thanks. John
