@Dwayne3618 – Thanks for the question- @Oldautoguy, the entire car was rewired. Yes, everything is functional on the car. When I get home I will post a receipt for the wiring. If I’m not mistaken, bill was nearly 6k. Assuming this stunning example hits reserve, the buyer will be very pleased. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it anywhere while getting constant compliments. ...

Thank you so much! Truly appreciate the quick response.

When you mentioned new wiring, what all did that entail? Also, is everything on the car in working order? Very nice car for sure!

@CorvetteGuru – This is one stunning T-Bird!!! I know it's not stock, but the new colours are striking!!! If I was buying - and being unemployed kinda kills that idea - the only things I would do would be to update from drums to discs and update the master cylinder to a dual circuit. Perhaps a slight improvement in the wheel tire package... but this is SWEET! ...

You are the master of your ship. Take charge of your life & conquer! You have a God-given talent/ability, capitalize on that. I bet you could own a vehicle like this soon. In the mean time STOP Dreaming and START Doing!!!
