I think the board needs a sticky with a few car transport companies listed.

Only the ones that were used for real by members here.

in a few hours, later today we all as a family will head out together just to get out for a while.
The Sport will have already been off loaded by the delivery agent and I have already checked out the car.
I have all the required paper work done so that the car is ready and road legal.

We drive by the car and i pretend I dont see it or the For Sale sign I put on the car way in advance.
My son will wig out and see the bird and demand we look at it,,we will : )
We stop, he calls the number on the for sale sign (if the wifes cell phone has enough bars cause mine wont).
He will be dialing my cell number which has been hand written on the sign.
He does not have my cell number memorized so this will be good.
He gets my greeting / voice mail,, ,,,,,,, ,,, then he turns to me and i toss him the keys.
I tell him everythings good to go and he can drive the car right now. ,,and ,, theres 50 bucks extra in the glove box to cover his next tank of gas because he better be looking for a job,,lol.

sound good?
This is gonna be great. I have been collecting bird stuff for about 4 years now in antition of this moment,, but i think i forgot to collect the most important thing,, a new header panel.
better get on that soon.

complete 5lug swap kit comes n the trunk,, as well as one buttstuffog and one full digital cluster, a bunch of spare parts, some rear end parts, bunch of switches, litterally a bunch of stuff he collected for the car. I think I owe him more money, i feel very bad knowing what all he threw in the trunk,,,oh a spare dash too! Another computer , some other stuff. I dono really what all is in the trunk, he rattled off a whole lot of things but I was not able to memorize it all when i took the call, was really busy.

I don't know about the $50 part ...My C1500 has a 30-gallonish tank and it took $88 to fill it from 1/8th ...I sure hope there's at least 11 gallons in the T-Bird's 22 gallon tank ...haha

well, car arrived and we have a very happy new tbrid owner in the family. He's kinda tired, got work up early but it worked out perfect because we could see the car real good.

The delivery agent somehow along the way damage the tail light so I will be needing one of those asap.
I called the dealer here local and they're gonna let it pass inspection if i have a replacement soon.

I just got a surprise though,
With all the torment and teasing, he decided to use his head and do a little recon. I kept saying "the answer is right in front of your face" ,ie- when he would be pecking on his IPod. (what i meant wash he "could" find out if he came here).
Well, he put two and two together and decided to use process of elimination and see what dad's been talking about here. He trolled through and found this thread,,,,,,,,,,So I was busted as I was just informed,,lol.

a few pics of my the bird and my happy camper.

Thanks, we have our work cut out for use,, some really odd electrical grimlins, but we got it inspected.

example: you get out of the car and it stops running. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL.
I do not think anyone has ever posted an electrical problem like that!!! ever. My head hurts thinking about it.
It directly effects the inoperable climate control, fuel/temp/oil pres guages and turn only signals, not hazard. Oh well, thats another thread.
Im happy so for though, I expected a to do list. Oh, it has an explorer or whatever rear view mirror with navigation installed.

I called and emailed pics to the delivery agent, we will see what happens, i have low expectations and dont want to make a fuss right now or a big ordeal, dont wanna ruin the moment so to speak for mason.

As promised, here are a few pics of the d of parts we found in the trunk.
Got the electrical working, ign switch assembly (not key lock) basically came apart. Dealer had key lock, advance had ign sw assembly.
