1985 Thunderbird for sale

October 23, 2016, 01:01:33 AM

I'm feeling like it's time to sell my 1985 Thunderbird. I just don't drive it as much as I used to. I've enjoyed owning it, and hope that someone else will enjoy and love it just as much as I have. I went through an automotive restoration program, and I've done all the work on it myself.

Here are the details:
Car has 86,000 original miles.
3.8 V6 - runs great! I replaced the head gaskets, intake gasket, and water pump this past January. I had the heads checked for warping and cracks. The exhaust needs a little attention. It's got a splice in it, and the AIR injection tube needs hooked back up (can hear air coming from injection tube while driving).

C5 auto transmission - shifts very smoothly. I've never had any problems with it.

I replaced the front brake rotors and pads and rear shoes in Spring 2015. New tires were put on in March 2015 - they have 3000 miles on them. I replaced the front struts and rear shocks in Fall 2014. New heater core (OEM replacement) in Fall 2014.

Interior is in very good condition with minimal wear and tear. Power window motors work, but windows don't go down (drivers side just recently quit going down, haven't had time to look into it). Windows were tinted prior to my ownership, and some of the tint is bubbling up, but not too bad.

Has power mirrors - work great, has cold A/C and hot heat.

I'm thinking it's worth around $5000 considering the work I've done to it, and the condition it's in. Of course, I would consider listening to reasonable offers.

Please comment or PM me if you're interested. I'm located in central Iowa. I can send pictures via email or text message.
Thank you
