1964 Ford Thunderbird Chrome

Low starting bid with a low reserve. If for some reason the reserve does not get met but is close we reserve the right to offer it to the highest bidder at his/her highest bid. Do not ask for the reserve price, we want to keep this auction fair to all. Feel free to ask questions, I will post the question with the answer so check the questions section for more info.
Great project car. No pesky computer harnesses or computers. Just simple old fashioned old school mechanics.
The brakes went on the car (needs brake booster and lines) about 23 years ago, I myself drove it indoors to the garage shortly after. Dad was going to have it "gone over" when getting the brakes done; it just never happened. We've finally talked him into giving it up and letting someone else finally get to enjoy it again.
No Title though will write a bill of sale.
I put a battery from one of my other cars to it and was able to start it, so the engine does still run!
The entire car is dusty and some mold on the leather both should easily clean up with some elbow grease and conditioner. There is rust so body work will be needed. I am looking for parts (body and otherwise) I may have and will add to this auction as/if I find them.
A non-refundable 500$ deposit via paypal is required immediately at auction end. The rest to be paid in cash at pick up. We would prefer local pickup only; if you need to send a shipper that person is required to have the balance in cash with him and left with us before the car leaves the property. No exceptions; no checks, money orders or notes from your Mom. I will not call a shipper or make the arrangements; that is on you. They or you may call me to schedule when the pickup will happen. This car is located in Shelton, CT. 06484 so you can get quotes before you bid.
I will also be advertising locally so I am reserving the right to pull this auction at any time.
