Description

I have had this Thunderbird for the past 5 years or so, it belonged to my father who picked it up around 15 years ago.
I found some time to work on it and have it running right. There is a valve noise that I can get to go away with adjustment of the distributor, but it is still there.
It is the fully unlocked 5 speed model that puts out approx 190 HP.
It has a new...-cat back stainless steel dual exhaust-fuel filter-lifters-timing belt-water pump-valve cover seal-thermostat-radiator (aluminum), I have the original if you want it.-Distributor-Coil-Plugs-Wires-Vacuum lines-IAC-Air filter-Oil Change-High Volume Oil Pump-Oil pan gasket-Fresh Coolant as of the date I listed this.-MAF/Vane Air Controller (this was the reason it didnt run right when I got it)
The exterior is in good shape, no rust the whole way through, 1 or 2 quarter sized rust areas started, but it has all original paint. The radio is in there, the dash has cracked due to the sun a bit, I would say the interior is at a B-.
What it needs-Exhaust has been replaced, need to tweak the one side a bit, the hanger needs an additional bend to be in the right position
-Set of Tires, the ones on there have been on there a long time and will hold air, but I wouldn't trust them on a car dolly.
-A battery, I might have one on hand to go with it
-A good Vacuuming, and to be run a bit, it hasnt seen the road in approximately 15 years. Some fuel cleaner to clean out the injectors would also probably be good.
-Radiator cap, its original and puts off steam when reaching temp
-----------------------------------
It comes with...
-A second engine and transmission still mated, its complete with the turbo and all
-It has a third engine that has been machined, I know it is missing the crank but It came with I think everything else to re-assemble and build it, turbo and all.
-Another two sets of rims, one is a set of rally wheels.
-Body pieces, ECU's electronics, and other misc parts. I know that the back right tail light has a crank in the plastic, I have a complete set in my misc parts to replace it with.
Questions are welcomed, I know this car is rare, especially in running shape, I have been slowly working on it for the past 2 years, I have 7 cars, and it is time to clean out a little bit.
