1964 Ford Thunderbird Description

For sale is a 1964 Ford Thunderbird with the 390 cubic inch V8 and Ford o matic automatic transmission. The odometer says 25k but I would assume it's 125k.
I'm going to try and describe it in as much detail as I can and share a link to a few videos and over 100 pictures.

Engine: the motor appears to run great with no knocks or smoke, fires right up every time I turn the key even after sitting for long periods of time. The previous owner had the heads rebuilt and everything seems really clean and is working like it should. I believe everything is bone stock.
Transmission: The plastic shifting detent is worn (plastic bit in the steering column and apparently a notorious problem). It can be swapped out for an hours work and about $50. I wanted to get a floor shifter instead so I ordered the Lokar floor shifter specifically for the transmission to skip over all that but never got around to installing it so it's brand new in the box and goes with the car.
Rear end: Seems to work great, no noises or issues.
Brakes: Power drums all seem good
Rims and tires: later model mustang rims and tires, also have turbine rims and tires I can include
Paint: the car was repainted in October and has 5 layers of clear if you decided to buff and polish but it looks nice from 5 feet right now. There's a run in the clear on the fender skirts but I have another half gallon of both paint and clear that I can send with the car.
Body: Seems to be in really good shape. Trunk and floors are all really good, lots of photos in the album. Radiator core support looks nice and solid too. Previous owner planned to run dual exhaust out of the passengers side rear quarter and run airbags so it's set up for that exhaust but currently runs a traditional H pipe full exhaust system.
Interior: Looks to be in good shape. Newer carpet and the seats all look good. The factory doormats are beat up but come with the car (including the chrome) but the panels on the car seem to look good and do the job.
Title: clean and in hand
I got the car in October, drove it home about 20 miles and then it's been parked, I just don't have the time to do anything with it and I'm a mopar guy at heart so I'm looking to sell it for a mopar product. Because of the shifter and the fact it does not currently have valid license plates and is over 50 years old it should be trailered home (please don't ask if you can drive it 10 hours home).
It's a 50 year old car so there's no warranty and it's not perfect but it looks really nice and fires right up everytime so I can't complain. The gallery has all the photos I have of the car. The car is in Woodbridge, Virginia about 25 miles south of DC.
I am reposting the ad so please only bid if you have the funds to complete the purchase.
