"Steal this one of a kind cruiser, bidding starts low with No Reserve"

Options-

4.6L V8 Motor (Insurance is very inexpensive on this car), Dual Airbags, Power Windows, Power Locks, One Month old Clarion MP3/CD Player with remote ($209), and 4 Infinity Kappa 5x7 Speakers in stock locations ($199).  This car had a government 5 star crash rating when it came out, and in my opinion is one of the safest automobiles on the road.

Maintenance-

This car is very well kept, in fact it is kept better than some children I know.  I am a Thunderbird Enthusiast, and no expense is spared on this car.  I drive it pretty much daily during the spring/summer/fall, and it gets stored during the winter.

It gets hand washed weekly, and receives Mobil 1 oil changes and motorcraft filters every 3000 miles. Coolant flushes are performed every fall and Redline Water wetter additive is used, and the power steering rack has been flushed with Valvoline Synthetic Fluid.  The car was recently tuned up with Mag Core wires, and Motorcraft Spark Plugs.  I just put a new PCV valve in it, and it has a 6 month old battery.  The fuel filter is about 6 months old.  The heatercore was replaced last year along with the thermostat and new pressure cap.  The car has brand new belts, new belt tensioner, and all new tensioner pulleys.  It has new heater hoses also. The motor compartment is fully detailed.

I had a new transmission installed in the car 10k miles ago, it has Mercon V synthetic fluid in it, a transmission cooler, and a magnetic inline transmission filter.

The transmission was installed earlier this year, it is a 4r70w for a 1998 Lincoln Mark8.  This has superior internal parts to the transmission that was in the 95 tbird from the factory.  I had a new flywheel installed, and installed the Mark8 High Stall Torque Converter with the new transmssion. ($1900 into the transmission alone)

Within the past year I have totally rebuilt the front end.  New upper and lower control arms with ball joints  as well as Sway bar end links and sway bar bushings all the way around.  The suspension is very tight and sporty.

The car has one year old Tokico Performance Shocks, and matched Tokico Lowering Spring Package.  The car sits 1.25 inches lower than stock, and gives the car great handling.  The  car is not a low-rider or anything, it is just a sport tuned suspension.  The shocks and springs alone cost $500 not to mention the installation.

The car has new front brakes.  The rotors and pads are about 1 month old.  It has KEM Redstuff Extreme Performance Pads and new rotors in the front.  It stops great with no vibration or shake.

The car has new W Rated Kuhmo Ecsta KH11 Tires on it.  These tires have 4k miles on them and are very sticky.  The W rating is higher than Z, and these are a great performance tire.  The tires are 235/60/16 WR

I removed the factory exhaust, and installed a Dynomax SuperTurbo Mandrel Bent Exhaust system on the car. 

The car has all its emissions equipment installed, and will pass any emissions test. 

We have a tough safety/emissions inspection here in NY and the car had to be legal.  The exhaust sounds very mellow at idle, but really screams at high rpms.  It is never droney and never annoying.

The air conditioner blows cold air.

Engine Performance

Tuned EEC By Inject-Tech Performance (fordchip.com) the best tuner in North America ($300).  The car is tuned perfectly, and can be setup to run on 93 octane fuel for more performance, or 87 octane fuel at the flip of a switch.  The car has received nothing but 93 octane as long as I have owned it.  The EEC is tuned to optimize every aspect of the vehicle.  Things like fan turn on time, shift points, and torque converter lockup schedule are all tuned.  The factory speed limiter has been removed, but the car rarely sees the high side of 70mph anyway.  Like I said it is a nice street cruiser for anyone, and a great daily driver.

Did I mention that I get 26 miles to the gallon on the freeway, and over 20 around town in traffic? 

It has an 80mm Mass Air ($200).  Custom Made Intake Tube finished in silver color ($150).  Mustang Air box with K&N Air Filter ($75).  ASP Performance Under drive Pulleys ($129)

This car was not beat on or abused, adult owned.

Exterior

New headlights a year ago from ford ($150 each), and clear corner markers ($55) make the front end of this car look brand new.

I installed a factory body kit from a Thunderbird Super coupe, and installed the 16'' Super coupe Wheels.

The windows were tinted to keep the occupants cool in the summer.

Custom pinstripes were hand painted on the car.

The car has Xenon headlight bulbs in it.

Interior

Clarion MP3 CD Player (Sirius Satellite Radio Ready) ($209), with 4 Infinity Kappa Speakers ($199) makes for a nice sounding stereo.

Car has a new headliner installed in it and a new carpet.

What it needs/What is wrong

I am being as honest and descriptive about this car as I possibly can be, please contact me for additional questions about the car.

Car has a few rock chips on the hood, and a few scratches and scrapes as should be expected for a car of its age.  Paint is very glossy though, and well maintained.  The rear bumper cover has a 1/4 inch crack at the very bottom, I haven't gotten around to getting that fixed, it never really bothered me too much.  The aluminum wheels look very sharp, one of the wheels has a little curb rash, and a rock chip the other three look very nice.

The front drivers seat has a little rip in the bottom of the seat, been like that since I bought the car and it didn't bother me.  The passenger side seat is in very good condition, and the back seat has probably never been sat in since I bought the car.

Just recently the climate control started blowing air out the defrost vent only no matter what you put the control on.  A friend told me it was a vacuum leak and was pretty common to fords and easy to fix.  I haven't gotten around to fixing it, the air still works fine just blows out the defrost vent.

The person that installed the new carpet in the car left a few wrinkles (creases) when installing the rug, and I think it will need to be reinstalled.  The business I had do the job recently went out of business, and I haven't found a new interior shop yet.  Should be no more than a 40 or 50 dollar fee to reinstall the new rug.  The new rug is black, and is very nice though.

The back brakes are getting a little worn, and should be replaced within a few months.

I really can't think of anything else, I would drive this car anywhere and feel totally safe with it, it has never left me stranded on the side of a road.

I am looking to get $5500 or closest to that number.

Email me and lets make a deal!

Where am I located?

The car is in Tonawanda, NY 14223.  We are in a nice suburb community near Amherst, NY.  We are a suburb of the City of Buffalo, NY.

I hold the title to the car, it is clean and clear and ready to sign over.  It has a clean carfax.com report.

I will be more than glad to pick you up at any local train station, bus depot, or airport if you are from out of town.  I can even recommend a few good places to stay overnight.

If you want the car shipped to you, that is OK with me.  You just need to make all arrangements, and I can drop the car off at a local carrier if it is within a reasonable distance.

If you want to drive here to New York, and you come during regular business hours, you can get a temp tag from the DMV and drive the car home yourself with proof of insurance.

Payment needs to be either cash or Certified Bank Cashier's Check only.  Please no personal checks for my protection and yours.

$100 dollar deposit is due as soon as the auction ends, payable via Pay pal, or sent via 2 day mail.

I am very serious about selling the car.  I need to get a truck for my job instead, that is why I am parting with my Thunderbird.  Please if you are not 100 percent serious about buying the car do not bid.  By bidding you are saying that you will purchase the car.  Please ask any questions before you place a bid, I will answer them promptly.

Check my eBay feedback, and bid with confidence.  I take care of my buyers, and make sure everyone gets a fair and square deal.
