Equipment
312/245hp, automatic, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, soft top and porthole hardtop, Town & Country radio, heater and defrost, power windows, power steering, power brakes, power seat.
Condition
The engine bay isn't fully restored, but it has been gone through and recently detailed. Excellent paint. Very good chrome. The headlight bezels don't fit straight. A few small scuffs on the headliner of the hardtop. Trunk gaps are uneven. A few almost inevitable smudges on an otherwise very good restored white interior. A cosmetic restoration on a solid platform, and a handful of flaws take little away from a car that has so much eyeball in these colors.
Market commentary
The reported high bid is reasonable for this T-bird, even taking the desirable paint color into account. The seller equally reasonably decided to disregard the Dallas bidders' opinion in the hope that a more enthusiastic bidder may come along in the future.
