It might be me, but the grill looks slightly lighter. Red to orange effect.

Not original paint.

Ford would not have been stupid enough to pain all the emblem. Including the birds in the tail lights and the trunk lock.

"""Q: This is not original paint from factory! Someone has painted the car along with all the moldings, along with the factory chrome moldings, mirrors,etc. You may want to revise your auction as original paint. But, The 'Bird does look good the way it's painted!! Just thought I'd let you know, kindly. (irony-1)

I thought that t-birds had body colored mirrors. Maybe that is just black then?
