It's possible the car was abondoned on the property or was there when the current people moved in. You may find owner info in the glovebox with an old registration or insurance card. Used replacement lids are out there or even repro, plus the trunk floor and drop offs are reproduced and are decent reproductions. ![]() The trunk lid rotted away, I've seen that before, the lower seem goes first and with the lid staying open all these years gravity pulled it back. The car has alot of surface rust but doesn't look rotted out on top where it counts since floors ect are easily replaced.

The fourth generation Ford Thunderbird is a large personal luxury car produced by Ford for the 1964 to 1966 model years. Its odd how such a hunk of junk can look so beautiful to me lol. I don't have a garage or the time in my life for restoring a car even though this thing called to me. Paperwork, well so far its unclear who owns it, I may have to have the DMV run the numbers.
