Equipment
312/270hp, dual quads, automatic, power steering, power brakes, heater delete, two tops with a porthole hardtop.
Condition
Full restoration in original colors finished in 2014. Paint looks very good with a few very small blemishes and marks from the hardtop. Brightwork looks very good with some small scratches. The old weather stripping was still used on the hardtop. Panel fit and gaps are slightly uneven. Engine bay is restored well and not over done. Underneath looks excellent with no signs of wear. Interior is all new. Driver's side inside door handle does not fit tightly. A sound restoration done 56 miles ago that would be showable at least on the local level.
Market commentary
Sold at Mecum Houston in 2014 for $81,000 and offered in Dallas in September of last year when it was bid to $50,000. There were 16 other Baby Birds to choose from in Indy this year and apparently too few buyers, as this E-bird fell flat and was bid to nowhere near what it deserved, even if the restoration is getting a bit long in the tooth.
