According to the data plate shown in the photos, the car was delivered to a Ford dealer in Virginia in monochromatic “triple white” (white exterior, white interior, white hardtop), and in this case probably a white soft top, but you can’t tell that for sure from the data plate. To know for sure, you would need to see the original factory invoice.
Assume the car is mileage exempt but do have any history to determine how miles it had before the odometer crashed? How are all the electronics? Windows, seat, gauges, wipers, radio? Any work needed? I am an active bidder on this Bird
@rkneen – We do not have any information regarding mileage of this Thunderbird other than what is shown on the odometer. We do know that the radio is inoperable in the car. Also, the driver’s window is not operating correctly but we have scheduled a mechanic to come it to fix it. The car does leave some drips on the floor when sitting but it runs and look great.
