Those wheel covers were used on really, really base models. Probably a no option car...

From the pics it looks to be in nice shape. It even beads water.

That's the first time I've seen a T-bird like that (picture or in person) out side of a dealer brochure. Not many dealers or people ordered these cars with no options.

Any one want to throw some no option parts my way? Looking mostly for manual mirror and hand cranks.

you know you can buy replacement window crank handles at AZ/Advance over in the Dorman/HELP section right? or are you looking for the actual mechanical crank in the door?

Yeah. looks like it's actually in decent shape. The red interior is tragic. Headlights look decent and no bumper peel though. Looks like someone locked the keys in the car at one point, as the drives rear quarter window looks as though it's been replaced with one of a sport or T-coupe. At least from where I'm sitting anyway.

The car was gorgeous , inside and out .. I would have taken more pics , but loitering around a car when the owner is not present is not a good idea in my neck of the woods , I did slip a buisness card in the door jamb (it was raining or I would have left it on the windshield ). The window  trim all matched , it's an optical illusion that the chrome is not there.
 
 I frequent that parking lot , I will for sure be keeping an eye out for the owner

As nice as the Thunderbird is, I really likes me a Town Car ---- or most anything with a Lincoln badge on it.  Thumbs up.
