I never got around to replacing these things. I also dropped the exhaust because it wasn’t looking that great. After first parking the car, I drained the oil from the motor and trans with the thinking that I’d pull it, paint the front frame & motor, then reinstall. These items are also included with the sale. The car is basically complete - but as I’m sure you can tell from the pics, it’s a total project.
I have a receipt showing the motor was a rebuilt swap. The engine is a 352 with 3-speed automatic. There is some surface rust from the car sitting. There are a few spots of filler here and there, some minor dents and dings, but no major surprises await. That paperwork will be yours with the car.īody-wise the car is pretty honest. I have some of the original paperwork from the first owner in 1958 as well as a pile of receipts from some of the previous owners for work they did and had done. I don't have the time or the interest to finish out this car … so now it’s time for you to take the reins and make it into whatever cool vision you have for it.Īs far as I can tell, the car has always been in California. It needs to be finished and the windshield needs to be cut about 1 1/2".
The front pillars were spread and tacked in place. I also started chopping 2” out of the roof. I also mocked up a rolled edge to the hood scoop. I shaved the deck lid, started shaving the handles, and started a front fender repair. It sounded strong and drove nice and straight down the highway. The car was ultra low (2” ground clearance) but traveled down the road like a champ. I drove this car home to Los Angeles from Costa Mesa, CA about 3 years ago. Looking for a fun and interesting custom car project?Ĭheck out this 1958 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Coupe.
