Survivor Car, Mild Custom

Ford Thunderbird 1960 Description

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.
