Title: FREE Doughnut, full size spare, and 4 rims
Post by: 85bird on May 27, 2008, 01:36:11 PM
[COLOR="Red"]ALL GONE[/COLOR]





Hello all.  I have a doughnut spare tire from an 85 thunderbird that has never touched pavement.  There are still the bie things all over the tire.  The tire is in great shape and is still inflated, and has never been flat.  The black rim has some surface rust but I think can be cleaned up.  I went to a 5-bolt rear end and do not need this.  It came original with my car.  I know some of you like to stay original.  It would be Free for whomever wants it.  I live in Lincoln, NE, and not sure if shipping would be cost effective or not.

I also have a full size spare that came off an 84 tbird rim that has the center cap.  The center cap is scratched. Good tread on the tire.... but the tire is of course, old.

If not claimed, giving to salvage lot.

I also have a set of rims that somebody can have if they want.  Pleae refer to the rear tires in the attached pic.  That's the rims.  They are in used shape.  I'm sure they will fit another ford model as well.

FREE for the taking.

Let me know if interested.  All FREE unless it needs to be shipped.  I would like this stuff gone within 4-6 months for sure.  So I am flexable as far as pickup goes.  I would really like having them gone within a month or so.  The 4-6 month time frame is ONLY if you are making a trip in the area and need for me to hold them for you.  Simply put, if I have no commitments within a little over a month.... they're going.

Not a clue.  I'm not even sure how to find that out.  I guess I would have to take them down to ups or the USPS...

I looked real quick on ebay as a quick reference and see anywhere from $150 to $240 for shipping.

I wanted to just give you an idea of cost so you could decide if you were really interested.  The rims have tires on them so if I took them to get an estimate that may add cost if you did not want the skins..... which have not been patched, but have definately been used.... and not many miles left on them.

Let me know how serious you are for sure, and I can get actual estimates for you.

[COLOR="Red"]EDIT:  14".  My bad.[/COLOR]That would sure help, how wouldn't it.

I know they are 14" rims.  Not sure what size tires are on there.  The tires on the rims would come with it, but are low on tread. 

If you want more specifics, let me know.  They are out at my father in laws and I will be out there tomorrow.

If anybody needs pics, today would be a good day to request so I can snap the shots while I'm out in the country.

I just hope they go to a good home.  They were given to me, and thus I pass them on. 

The funny thing is..... I didn't think many would be interested.

Just an update for anybody who is thinking of shipping rims. 

I sent 4 rims from Nebraska to Ohio for $43.  Each rim weighed 17lbs.  I shipped them in two boxes that were approximately 21" L x  16" W x 19" H.  Each box weighed about 38 lbs once packaged.  I used FexEx Ground.

Yep, it is the steel doughnut that came with my car. 

The parts are stored at my father in laws.  I will try to get there this week to weigh them and estimate the shipping for you.

Hang in there.  I'll PM you hopefully soon.  Sorry I cannot give an exact day... This week is hell on wheels.

The spare is off of an 83 or 84 thunderbird.  It was the actual rim and tire from that car.  It has the thunderbird rim and center cap, though the center cap is scratched and in bad shape.  I'll shoot a couple pics for you as well and PM them to you.
