Body: The restoration is about 10 years old. There is no evidence of rust, or rust repair. The paint appears to be a base coat clear coat, and sit shows very nice. We had the passengerside rear quarter re painted to repair a scratch and the paint is slightly more yellow. We had the doors trunk and hood removed and re installed to make sure the gapswere excellent and they are. Chromeis all very nice as is the glass.
Engine: The motor and transmission work as designed. This is a manual steering manual brake car. Both operate as designed. The engine bay is detailed properly and shows very nice.
Chassis: The undercarriagewas properly restored with correct appearing over spray. Unlike many of the Thunderbirds availabletodaythis car shows correct finishes such as bare steel, chromium, and stainless. This is not a Krylon paint restoration. The car was completely dissembledfor restoration. The shocks have recently been replaces with KYB Gas-a-just. I have driven this Thunderbird extensively. It tracks straight and drives as designed.
Interior: Restoredto its original specification.With the exceptionof the clock and the radio all accessories and gaugeswork as designed.
