Bad Ass 1960 428 Pro Street Ford Thuderbird. Nothing Like It! on 2040-cars

This is one Bad Ass 1960 Pro Street Ford Thuderbird. Nothing like it!
California/Florida Car with frame off restoration in 1993.

I purchased this very solid Pro Street Thunderbird in 2011 and it's been in my garage ever since (sadly never found the time to work on it!)
Sorry to see it go but too many projects and life is too short! 95% finished by prior owner (see below) or just service and drive as is....
Registered in FL as "TBIRD 60".

THE GOODS:
Original California car. San Fernando Valley. No rust to speak of (see below). Check out the pics. Nice n dry.
428 Cobra Jet engine - mild cam and less than 100 miles on it. Runs strong. Built by Chris Lafrene of Courtesy Chevrolet.
C6 transmission with shift kit and B&M console shifter for solid shifts by Craig Calkins master transmission mechanic. Shifts nice and quick like it should. High performance torque converter.
Pro Street Chassis was done by the former crew chief of the Budweiser land speed record rocket car, Kirk Swanson of Camarillo.
9'' ford Detroit locker posi with housing all welding up to handle 1000 horsepower
Super strong 4 bar rear suspension with Alden coil over shocks
Big ol' Tubs to handle the 18'' wide Pro Street tires
Big Fat Mickey Thompson 18'' wide Pro Street Tires that fill the well like an artists rendition (see below).
Rebuilt Power brake unit with rebuilt 70's ford Torino dual master cylinder and front disk brakes.
All built to handle existing engine with a 871 blower.
For safety- complete roll bar constructed with seamless, thick wall tubing and welded through body to frame extending into trunck area to surround the custom fuel cell.
Front and rear bumpers acid striped and painted to match body. Black front, charcoal back. Mean look. I'm talkin' MEAN! I've never seen a T-bird done this way.
Late model Acura Bucket seats for the look.
Replaced dash pad.
Cover console and all side trim with black German vinyl. Looks like factory black molding to keep with the theme.
Gauges, lights and clock working and all exterior lights working
Great chrome on the dash panel
Great chrome on the glove box door with new glove box inside.
Custom installed tilt and Telescoping column out of an Impala
New windshield
New mild tint side glass
New felting and windwing trim
Power windows
New headliner and visors with chrome brackets.
New Carpet
New LeCarra four spoke leather wrapped steering wheel

NEEDS (to be up front):
Good service and checkout (been sitting several years but regularly started and starts first time every time).
A few small bubble spots and a small quarter sized rust area near rear wheel arch that could do with touch-up (if desired) but body very straight and sound
Rear tires will need replacing a some point soon, fronts are good.
Seats have all been mounted but I'd reupholster them with the side panels.
This is an original A/C car but no compressor. If you plan on running the A/C while you're haulin' ass, you'll need to install a compressor and have it hooked up.
Never made the grill. Was going to go with stainless tubing. Or find an original.
Molding needs to be made that meets the dash to windshield.
Door weatherstripping. Just never got to it. Some new molding included.
Molding under back window is missing. Easy to find.

Will ship anywhere but you arrange the shipping (cost me $700 to ship from CA to FL in 2011)
As Is with no warranty. Can send more pics and details if needed.
