Description:

Up for your consideration is my '72 Thunderbird. It is a project, but it is all there and saveable.

400 V8 motor. True "S" code car, not your typical "N" code 429. There were only 2,006 of these cars made in early '72. The motor is out of the car. The short block is half rebuilt. Stock pistons and rods, new Clevite bearings, new Isky RV cam, new moly rings, new high volume oil pump, new straight up timing set, new high flow water pump. Regasketed using felpro gaskets. Shortblock needs to be painted, but that's the easy part. The heads need to be rebuilt. I have ARP studs for them, as well as comp cams roller rockers (stock ratio), pushrod guides, hardened pushrods, and chrome valve covers. The stock 2bbl manofd and an aluminum Edelbrock 4bbl manifold are included. I have all the pulleys for the motor as well.

The C6 transmission shifted fine when the car was parked 2 years ago. Fluid is still red and full.

New U joints front to back.

The rear end is the famed 9".

New brakes end to end, drums, shoes, hardware and hose in the rear, then rotors, pads, calipers, and hardware in the front. Rotors are rusty from sitting but can be turned to have that ground off. New front wheel bearings and seals as well.

All new KYB shocks at all 4 corners, as well as Moog tie rods up front. I replaced the pitman arm, drag link, passenger side steering pivot along with the inner/outer tie rods on both sides. I have also replaced the upper control arm bushings as well.

The car rides on the stock rims with 15" tires. The tires are decent, but the two of them are a bit low on tread. Stock wheel covers are included.

The body is decent. The floors and trunk are solid. The front fenders have some rust in them from old body work done by the prior owner. The doors are solid, as is the hood and trunk. All the glass is present, but the windshield is cracked. The engine bay is freshly painted. It used to be yellow with a brown top and brown interior, it is currently light blue, white top, blue interior.

The interior is good. The seats were reupholstered, and the carpet is useable. There is no headliner again thanks to the prior owner. The radio has been removed, but I have it. The dash pad is cracked and will need to be fixed.

This car has power windows, locks, and antenna. They all work. The window motors have been rebuilt a few years back. Both door locks and the trunk lock work. Intermittent wipers work also

This car must be seen to appreciate.
It will need to be towed away, so bring a trailer.

The price is $1,000. No trades considered, and cash only. Price is firm. Don't waste either of our time. If you aren't interested in the car or don't have the money, don't contact me.
