@RussellDemor – Thanks for the quick response ...
Your welcome!
@Cushman57… here is the picture of the top stored
Thanks for the quick response
@RussellDemor… it is a reflection. Not a chip. We have installed the wiper arms and blades
Quick question on picture 46 between the driver headlamp and front bumper guard is that a large paint chip/flake or a reflection, also do you have the wiper arms and blades, thanks.

@Cushman57… the top fits well behind the seat back. The hard cover boot covers the top while stored. I will grab a current picture first thing in the am and post it
BID: $18,500
I have a question about the top. Why doesn't it go all the way into the well for storage and is there a cover or boot for it?
BID: $18,000
@Louieaaa…as far as we know and what we saw the engine does not appear to have been rebuilt. We did not see any body issues in our inspection. Unfortunately we did not receive any history other than the most recent services performed. All the gauges are fully functioning
BID: $17,000
BID: $15,500
I’d like to know if the engine has ever been rebuilt? has the TBird ever been in a serious accident requiring major bodywork? and are original service records available that date back to 1955? are all gauges working on the vehicle?
BID: $15,000
@Louieaaa… the previous owner doesn’t really know much about the car. The car was passed down from a family member. I am happy to answer any questions you might have
