Vehicle Description
The seventh-generation Ford Thunderbirds (1977-1979) are
great-looking cars that were popular in their day but are hard to
find today. These Thunderbirds feature a unique wrap-over "basket
handle" roofline with opera windows and large rear side quarter
windows separated from the rear window by thin C-pillars. Headlamps
hidden with retractable covers and full-width dropped center
taillamps made a comeback in the late 1960s. Looking at this
beautiful Bird today, with its interesting styling features, will
transport you back to the 1970s. This well-cared-for 1979 Ford
Thunderbird is finished in Dove Gray paint that appears original
and presents well. Under the long hood is a smooth-running 302
cubic inch V8 paired with an automatic transmission-power steering
and brakes, an AM radio, cruise control, and cold air conditioning
inside. The clean, original dark red cloth interior is accented
with glorious fax burled wood grain trim that immediately lets you
know you are in an American car built in the 1970s. The wood grain
dash assembly features round gauges that fully complement each
other temperature, oil pressure, amp meter, fuel, clock, and, best
of all, a rare factory tachometer-upgraded with carefully selected
17-inch American Racing Wheels and sport tires that look fantastic
on this car. Bilstein shock absorbers have been installed to
improve handling without sacrificing the smooth ride these cars are
famous for.

originality, and character, this rare bird presents a chance to own
