1966 Ford Thunderbird Description

You are looking at my clear titled, Arizona (located in Arizona) RUST FREE, factory A/C 1966 Ford Thunderbird that has been partially restored for the past two years. The car does turn over, the car runs strong and steers, however should not be started due to a bad head gasket and water pump. Each of the steps of getting it running, moving and restoring have been captured via video and photograph though.

· Completed bodywork on the driver’s side exterior

· The passenger’s side bodywork still needs to be completed

I may consider trading the car for another type of muscle car. I am in no rush to sell it, nor do I need help selling my car.
