Ford Thunderbird SC
1990
Automatic
Dark Blue/Tan interior
~150,000 miles
Melbourne, FL (east of Orlando)
Selling for best offer

Car is not running. Crapped out 2 days ago. The garage I had it towed to traced the problem down the a bad DIS module and crankshaft position sensor. When they went to install new ones, they found the crankshaft itself was loose, probably from the pulley in the front.

I have not the money or the knowledge to repair. Would make a good project car or parts car. Transmission was rebuilt about 2 years ago. Interior needs work, exterior needs work. Ran great before the crankshaft decided to dance. :(

Contact me for more information. I have no pictures right now, will have to go to garage to get them.

My friend got my pictures of the car up on some web space.

Someone pointed out that the driver's side floor looks like it has water/flood damage. It's not. It's several years accumulated crap off my shoes from work. If you looked at it in person, it would probably be pretty apparent that's the case.

If you have any questions, give me a call.

Well, it still needs a DIS module and crankshaft position sensor, and then whatever it takes to fix the crankshaft.

Besides, I can't actually fix it myself. I'm pretty much stuck selling it to someone as a parts car or a project car. The best offer I've gotten so far is $300.
