1959 Ford Thunderbird 2 DOOR HARDTOP Description

This is my 59 T-Bird.It came from California, rust free.I drove it home to Pa and restored it to it's present condition.You might find other Square Birds for sale, and when you get them home, they'll probably need all of the things I've listed below that have already been done to this one at great effort and expense.You can find tons of detailed pictures on these two links (if you can't get there from here, email me):

NOS stainless windshield wipers. Roof repainted, body paint excellent (two very, very small chips, see pics). New drivers side door handle, New NOS lockset.

Things it still needs:Power seat needs to be powered.Windshield wipers don't work; has been retrofitted with electric some time ago, I never drive in the rain so I haven't bothered with it. Speedometer intermittently fails, haven't trouble-shot that, but suspect if's a speedo cable issue.There's a small tear in the dash pad at the extreme right hand side down low, which could be repaired by someone who knows what they're doing, but I don't have that skill. There is an extremely small power steering leak but I've not bothered to pinpoint it.

Payment will be in cash or equivalent.Serious buyers can contact me at 215.921.1810
