Description of 1970 Ford Thunderbird Coupe |
1970 Thunderbird 2dr Coupe This really is one of my favorite yr Thunderbirds on the market and sellingit is bittersweet. I dont see them come up for sale locally much anymorethis solid. 1970-71 T Birds where only a 2 yr run and the 2 door model wasactually considered a Fastback design too.Pros: Plenty of torque and Power on hand / class and styling / uniquedesign that still gets compliments today even the handling on these carswas pretty decent for their size. On the hwy they are amazing too. AZ CAROriginal Paint front to back meaning there is NO rust or bondo on this car.A nice unmolested example of a rare 70 big block T bird.Cons on this particular car: Needs tires possibly a tune up originalvinyl interior getting a little crispy in areas even though it looks nice.Whats great about these cars are a few things. Their values are on the risedo the the fact you cant find them anymore on the road. Many wherejunked / crashed over the yrs. Also no matter where I take this car I alwaysget people coming up to me asking more about the car and most have theirown storys about a T Bird they once had.Be prepared to check out an auction the way every one should do online !Some of the most complete and best pictorial of the car youll see anywhereon ebay and online for that matter !! ALMOST 200 large clear pics !! PLEASE READ THE REST OF THE DESCRIPTION FOR MUCH MORE INFOABOUT THE CAR AND WHAT ITS ABOUTOUR 100% feedback speaks for itselfI CAN PROMISE YOU the Potential buyer/bidder YOU WONT SEE ANOTHERT-BIRD on Ebay with as many detailed pictures as our car.This is the way we have been helping sell cars on Ebay now for over 10 yrs.Our feedback (please check it it takes 5 minutes) speaks for itself. NOT MANY OF THESE rust free T Birds are left with original sheetmetal still like this one.UN RESTORED SURVIVOR. Our auctions clearly show the most detail of what to expectOver any other auctions Ive seen online clearly making the decision for the bidder easier.This Tbird has been in Az since the early 70s according to the previous few owners and the lack of rust on this car is amazing.It has a few small spots by the rear wheelwells and drive side floorboard is the worst of it.If you are looking for a car to restore this condition car would easily be the best candidateto start with hands down.SUPER LOW RESERVE that is realistic but if the car doesnt sell I have no problem withcontinuing the restoration and Ill fix the windows next throw tires on the stock rimsand or some 18s on it and start driving it to shows on the weekends. . We try to show all the areas well inthe 100+ pics below. give them time to load when opening the page.ODOMETER shows about 42k miles on it and chances are its rolled over once.Arizona cars are time capsules half the time and the best kind to restore. DRIVETRAIN: matching #s original 429 4V big block with over 300hpand gobs of torque. Car starts all the time and runs really well for itsage. It may need a mild tune up in the future and carb rebuild becausesometimes it smells like it running a little rich. But Ive been cruising itaround town every so often the last few weeks. Fords proven 3 spd autoC6 works and shifts well and the factory 9" rearend works like its supposeto. This car even handles really well for its size. PS feels great while thePDB stop the car well with the huge drums in the rear.Maybe install some 18 or 20" modern rims and tires for a resto mod lookand even better road feel. At the very least this car will need new tiresand the correct size right away.Well optioned with factory : Cruise Control / PS / AC and more.INTERIOR: the interior was designed to be sitting in a cockpit ofan airplane and the rear sits actually wrap around.Az been hard on the interior in a few areas but as a daily driver itsliveable. Front bench seat has tears headliner hanging in a few areasand door panels showing the most wear. The rest could be left alone ifyou just want a fun cruiser car. The first thing that needs repairing areboth front windows are Loose in the doors and off the tracks of theregulators. I believe from the factory they where glued in the tracksso they may just need to be re-glued back on the regulators. They arePW front and rear which could work but havent had a real way to testthem. All the components seems to be in tact at least. I believe all thegauges are working too except the clock. The factory 8 track player isa very rare option theres a 8 track sorta of stuck in it But the RADIODOES WORK ! also the car has a veryrare Remote Trunk Release in the glove box. EXTERIOR: the original sheetmetal is in amazing shape for its age.Only dent I could find was on the LF fender. You could probably wet sandwhats left of the paint buff it out and drive it with some cool Patina.Next redo the landau top (only surface rust there thanks to the desertenvironment) and with a little detailing it would be great to drive likethat everyday and to the local car shows. Chances are you wont see anotherone at the same show and people love when they see cars they dontsee at shows all the time. Dare to be Different you wont be let down.No rust on the floors inside or out even on the trunk pan we only founda little surface rust there. Check out the taillights on this car too ! SUSPENSION: basically bone stock and original which is working fine.Chances are it will need some stuff replaced due to wear but we haventchecked that area out all the much its been driving around town fine withno weird clunks or issues. (Put a new set of tires on this car and it I believeit will be road worthy for in or out of town driving). If I could find a way toproperly lower this car 1" all around it would really make for an evenbetter looking and fun driving car along with some 18x9 rims all around.For a big as this car is it handles really well and a blast to drive. 1970 -71 Thunderbirds are increasing in popularity more each yr and valuesare going up on these models all the time.This Bird is a great startingpoint for the next owner esp if you DONT want to spend weeks fixing rust issues.Alot of the custom rod shops are doing some amazing things with these cars.
