1985 Ford Thunderbird V6, 89 Mustang 5.0 Engine, Almost Complete Charcoal Interior

Due to life, I am selling my baby. And all the parts that I have collected.

This car is in practically perfect condition body wise and only needs a little tlc to get it to run. Due to a bad mechanic trade, I lost the distributor, catalatic converter, pcv valve, belt, and battery.

My t-bird has around 70k original miles on it. The tan interior is stripped because I was in the process of replacing it with a complete charcoal interior (minus seats and dash). The interior includes the carbon fiber dash pieces, center console, brand new Infinity front speakers, door panels, moldings, and replacement hub caps for the ones missing. The interior parts come with the car.

I also have various parts to go along with it including window motors.

Also, there is a 1989 Mustang 5.0 engine and T5 transmission to go as well. Computer, harness, and air box was lost in the trade I mentioned above. The engine and transmission have about 90k miles on them.

I don't want to sell the interior separate because I believe it should go with the car since the other is stripped and pieces are now missing.

Accepting offers or trade for all.
If the car and interior goes without the motor, I'll sell that separately. However, that's up to the purchaser of the car first.

I should also add, that I have a spare, burgundy hood as well.

The doors and trunk on this car open almost like brand new. Aside from some surface rust underneath, there isn't any to be found.

No rust at all that I can find. It's been stored almost every winter since I've owned it. During the bad trade, it sat outside over the winter bit wasn't driven.

There is some underbody surface rust, but not bad or pitted.

I'm in Midland.

I don't think I'd be interested in selling just the body. It has a complete running engine aside from the missing parts I spoke of. It would be drivable for about $150 in parts and about an hour to install the interior. This is my dream car and I won't part it out. What is done with it after its out of my sight, I don't care. Lol.

I would sell the extra hood separate though.

How long have you had the car? Do you know it's original owner?

Just curious as I'm familiar with an '85 in that color combo that was from SW Michigan. It was always stored in the winters since new and I just wondering if it happens to be the same car.

I too always thought it was a nice unique color combo that you just don't see very often.
