Market commentary

Not sold? On what planet of 2-seat T-bird fanatics does the consignor of this sound but unimpressively restored T-bird with ordinary equipment live? For anything more than, or even approaching, the reported high bid on this Bird there should have been another 4-barrel under the hood ... one that is attached to a manifold which itself is attached to the engine in the usual place. This car should have been on its way out the door with a new owner as soon as it passed $40,000.
