Nice find! It looks to be in great shape. I'm partial to leaving the grill.

Now I feel bad. I opened the hood on the Thunderbird a little while ago and checked the oil. It is still right at the correct level, and golden. I also found that there's a small rattle in the driver side door. I think it's a rod for the door lock ( that was all car talk). No food was cooked during the typing of this post.
