I am interested in purchasing my first collector car as a driver for local short jaunts around town. A 1960 Thunderbird. listed online at Streetside Classics around Phoenix Arazona. Pictures available at Streetside Classics. Diamond Blue color with all new interior. Newer drive train, power streeing, windows and brakes. 18 inch Boyds wheels. replaced 352 with a 390. Had factory air but no components are under hood, Just the original dash controls. Paint may be original and has some blemishes and a mismatched drivers door very obviously displayed in the photos and probably painted off the car and does not match. I can have the door and side painted to match locally for about a grand. About $1100.00 to ship open carrier to Florida. They are asking 18,995. When I spoke to Robin Lane of Streetside Classics he stated that it is a great open road running vehicle and is mechanically sound. Is this a good deal and if not what should I offer or should I keep looking for other 1960 Birds?
