    Can't imagine who would want such a heavily modified Thunderbird.

    Don’t hate me, but this car has zero attraction for me. No bumpers (chrome) and they stuccoed over the marker light holes. Pass

    That car is a total case of the owner being pissed that his car can’t get above $6,500 when he put $8,000 into those cool modifications. What’s wrong with people!

    I agree, it looks odd without chrome bumpers but keeping the chrome trim around the grill? And equipped with miss matched tires is always a strong selling point to me!;)

    BID TO $6,400 ON 12/17/21, no sale

    you are right that he had more into it, but no one else was interested.

    That's the risk you take when you modify/customize. It may be that no one else likes it.

    watching BAT or Hemmings or mecum, any auction, your best buy is always a modified car/truck that you happen to like.
    no telling how many times i've watched an auction where the person has spent $100k on restoration / modifications and it sells for $40k
