Ford Thunderbird 1966 Description

You are looking at my clear titled, Arizona (located in Arizona) RUST FREE, factory A/C 1966 Ford Thunderbird that has been partially restored for the past two years. The car does turn over, the car runs strong and steers, however should not be started due to a bad head gasket and water pump. Each of the steps of getting it running, moving and restoring have been captured via video and photograph though.
