The exception is the front bumper, which has accumulated enough damage to warrant replacement. It appears that most of the exterior trim is present, and while some pieces should respond positively to some good old hard work with a polish cloth, other components will require a trip to the players.
Therefore, it is possible that this T-Bird may be structurally sound. This affords us a brief glimpse of the floors, and while there’s visible corrosion, I can’t spot any penetrating rust.
The interior shots reveal that someone has removed the carpet.
If the vehicle has spent its life in California, that could be to the advantage of potential buyers. We received no information on the state of this classic’s underside, so it would take an in-person inspection to determine whether there are any significant rust problems in these areas. Some is visible in the passenger side lower rear quarter panel and the trunk lid, but the rest of the body looks remarkably sound. However, what I have noticed is the lack of visible penetrating rust. Its Corinthian White paint is faded, with plenty of surface corrosion now peeking through for the world to see. There’s no denying that this poor old Thunderbird has seen better days. It could be one of the cheapest Square Birds on the market today, but will its fate be as a project or parts? This Ford is located in Orange, California, and respectable bidding has pushed the price to a mere $715 in a No Reserve auction. Its previous owner donated it to a charity that has listed it for sale here on eBay. Our feature car is from that final year of production. Not only were its body lines sharper and more square (hence the “Square Bird” moniker), but the T-Bird had morphed from a two-seater to a four-seat luxury car built between 19.
The Second Generation Ford Thunderbird marked a radical departure from the styling and engineering of its predecessor.
