1997 Thunderbird 4.6; seen 28SEP23

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

This one has been here for several months. Springs and shocks look new-ish. Not much left otherwise. Did they spill coffee...or blood?

That's mold unfortunately. Just seeing that photo has made me sneeze.

As a first responder, I can say with confidence that blood stains in cars that haven't been crashed are almost always splattered on the dashboard, glass, console, and seatbacks. You can guess how I know.

Poor 66 continental coupe!

I was about to say! Who the hell would scrap one of them!

 

[Derphound01]

The same kind of person who would EasyRod a MN12.

I can't tell from your pics, but 1997 is more likely to have the manual drivers seat track which might be worth grabbing.

This one had a power seat.

But my car actually has manual seats, which I understand now is a plus.

 

[XR7-4.6]

I've never seen a V8 car with the manual driver seat, I'm pretty sure the power driver seat was teathered to the equiptment package the V8 came with

What are the chances it has rear Konis and front Tokicos?

 

[jco1385]

I'd say super low. That blue is the wrong color for sure.

 

[XR7-4.6]

Yeah tokicos are basically “grabber blue”. Those shocks are what I call “NAPA reman blue”

 

[MadMikeyL]

Those are definitely just cheap parts store shocks, nothing worth grabbing.
