Survivor Car, Mild Custom

1960 Thunderbird

Factory AC, Power Seats, Power Brakes and Power Steering!

I am the third owner, and have had the car since March of this year. The car comes with records dating back to 1989, totaling over $19,000. When I got it, it had recently come out of storage. Here is what I did:

· Lowered the car 2” & Installed New Shocks

· Pulled the intake and valve covers to reseal

· Added Pertronix Ignitor II electronic ignition

· Replaced plug wires and Plugs

· Installed new Expansion tank from Macs

· Installed new thermostat

· Added new Lancer Wheelcovers

· Had Pankeys rebuild the radiator

· New dual exhaust with Smithy’s Mufflers

· Fresh bearings and seals in the rear end

· Installed new Master Cylinder

· Flushed Brakes

· Changed all fluids

· Added Lakes Pipes

OF NOTE:

· In 27 years, the car has been driven 17k miles and the previous owner spent over $19k with the Ford dealer and an independent shop on maintenance and repair. If anything, it was over maintained!

· The engine has been rebuilt. It runs great and doesn’t smoke. I know it has been rebuilt based on the gaskets used and the condition inside the engine when I had the intake off. I do not have receipts for the rebuild, but it definitely appears more recent than 1989

· The transmission was rebuilt by Ford. I have receipts for that

· With the exception of the clock, everything works, even the AM Radio.

· The heater core was bypassed when I got it. Not sure if it leaks, but I would guess it might.

· AC Blows cold and the site glass shows it to be clean

I refreshed the car and loaded up my wife and 4-year old for a trip to the West Coast Kustoms Cruisin’ Nationals in Santa Maria. The car was flawless. AC blew cold, it cruises at 70-80mph with ease, power steering is great and it stops like a champ. I would drive this car anywhere.
