The car was finished from the factory in Flame Red (V) and was repainted in the late 1980s. Exterior features include a replacement white soft top, a hood scoop, faux fender louvers, a driver-side mirror, rear fender skirts with bright rock guards, and chrome bumpers with integrated dual exhaust outlets at the rear. The wiper motor is said to have been replaced in 2016 and blemishes in the paint are noted by the seller and displayed in the gallery. A removable white hardtop is included in the sale.
Body-color 14” steel wheels wear turbine-style covers and are mounted with whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes. A full-size spare is mounted in the trunk.
The cabin houses a bench seat that is trimmed in white vinyl upholstery along with a red dashboard, carpets, and door panels. Equipment includes a Bendix Sapphire II push-button radio, a heater and defroster, polished door sills, Thunderbird-branded rubber floor mats, and engine-turned aluminum trim.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 140-mph speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The speedometer and clock are inoperable. The five-digit odometer shows 22k miles, though total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 292ci V8 was installed during prior ownership and is fitted with a two-barrel carburetor that is said to have been replaced in 2019. Additional maintenance reportedly included an oil change, coolant flush, and replacement of the battery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Additional underside images are presented in the gallery.
