Completed in 2002 and a multiple ISCA (International Show Car Association) winner, this “Show ‘n Go” T-Bird draws attention everywhere it goes. Unique options include the reverse opening (aka ‘suicide’) doors, power windows, shaved doors with ‘poppers,’ and a reverse opening hood like the early Thunderbirds.

Car has always been garage kept, it’s street legal, and driven only 5300 miles attending shows and cruise events. The T-Bird had been sitting for about 2 years before it was recently refreshed to sell.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 12 years ago, I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers,” and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
