Last November, I mentioned here that I'd decided to sell my 1957 Thunderbird, which very much resembles the photo above, which is of someone else's same-color 1957 Thunderbird. As you can tell, I'm in no great hurry to sell this incredibly low mileage car that I purchased in the early eighties from its original owner, Anthony Perkins. For more on the vehicle and its history, see this message that I posted back then.
That message brought many responses that I probably should have followed up on. Instead, I chose to connect with a local (Los Angeles) broker in old cars who saw my weblog appeal and contacted me, promising to get the car running and to sell it for me on most agreeable terms. He's still promising to do that. He will probably be promising to do that long after the internal combustion engine is a relic of the ancient past. In other words, I'm giving up on the guy.
Alas, I lost the other inquiries from last November so I'm asking again. I'd like to either find someone who wants to buy the car (i.e., make an offer) or handle its sales for a commission. It's still sitting in my garage with a dead battery. It's still, apart from that and the shredding ragtop, in great condition. (I also have the removable hardtop.) I'm too busy these days to deal with getting it into sellable, runnable shape and I don't want to hassle with eBay bidders or anything of the sort. If you're interested in taking some or all of this off my hands, drop me a note. I may even be persuaded to divulge the name of the famous Hollywood actress who, according to a fan of Mr. Perkins, lost her virginity to him in this fine automobile. If that story's true, I oughta put a bronze plaque on the dashboard.
