@Oregon_Motor_Company the climate control is fully functioning. The air conditioning remains R-12 and blows cold
@Freemaha Seller: How well does the climate control work? Does the AC blow with COLD (not just cool) air?

We are down to the final hours on the Fila Thunderbird auction. Let me know if you have any final questions. I will be monitoring closely.
One aspect of the collectibility of the limited edition Fila Thunderbird is the cross collectibility factor. A car like this attracts collectors of hyper low mileage classic cars, collectors of Fords, collectors of fashion, tennis collectors, 80s car collectors, sports collectors, and the super fanatical base of Thunderbird collectors. Ford throughout the years co branded with Versace, Eddie Bower, Givenchy, Emilio Pucci, Bill Blass, Cartier and other brands but not until the Fila Thunderbird did Ford apply this strategy the Thunderbird. Very cool time in the history of Ford. Thanks for the comments, emails and bids.

@freemaha: thanks for the info on the lower area paint condition.
PCARMarket forgot to mention I am including the ultra rare Fila edition wrist bands, head bands and towel that came with the car.
A few comments about the Fila Edition Thunderbird. It is even rarer than the SVO mustang and produced for 1 less year making the Fila T-Bird one rare bird, one of the rarest Fox body cars produced and a rare Ford altogether making it one of the most collectible cars out there. Even rarer to find one in 100% original condition with extremely low original miles and the Fila jacket. a similar condition Fila Thunderbird just sold in January at auction for $10,900 making it one of the best values in the rare car market with unlimited upside potential.
@richks43 thank you for your question. Yes there is some fading on the black area’s especially the bumper area.
SELLER: It looks like the black area under the belt line and also the rear bumper have stains or other paint imperfections. Can you get clearer pictures for these areas and also comment on the condition of these areas...thanks.

Thank you for the bids thus far. This Fila limited edition is more popular than my 328 Ferrari at cars and coffee and much rarer too. I love the digital dash on this car and the smooth ride. I wanted to take the car to Radwood this summer. Happy bidding and feel free to ask me anything about the car.
Your are correct, I failed to scroll down. Thanks again.
