Ford Thunderbird 1964 Description
This caris fresh out of the barn and there is no reserve on the auction.This car is a little rough, ut I have seen far worse cars restored to pristine condition and this one has some good bones for a resto or street rod project.It has no motor but is otherwisepretty complete.It would be a great base to build a project car on the cheap.....drop in a used motor, o some basic maintenance, hrow ona driveway primer job and you have your own Gas Monkey/Hot Rod Magazine Road Kill adventure in the making for very little cost. If you are restoring a car likethis, t would be a greatcar to pick the parts you needfor your restorationand sell off the rest and break even orperhaps make a little extra to fund your restoration.

Summary:
I see this as a great car for parts for your restoration, f you are restoring a car this would be a great car to pick the parts you need from and sell off the rest and break even or even make a little extra to fund your restoration. However, have seen far worse restored, nd this could be a great base for a restoration/hot rod project due it being fairly complete and really cheap. Drop an engine in this old girl, aybe primer it up for now, nd have a fun cruiser like the guys in Hot Rod Magazinedo onthe popularRoadkill series. Could be a fun little project on the cheap.
