We will start off with the exterior of this Thunderbird. The body
on it is breathtaking, truly a piece of classic car history that
has been impeccable cared for. All the panels are rock solid and
have a perfect fit from front to back. Everything is showcased in
the original Black paint that we had buffed and polished out to a
show quality finish that is sure to turn heads anywhere you go.
This Ford features hidden headlights that work as they should and
has the original bumpers front and back that have a brilliant
finish. The rest of the trim and stainless on this '79 is just as
impressive from the side molding to the top molding. This two door
Thunderbird features the split vinyl top that is in excellent
condition along with all the original glass. The black paint is
accented by the red stripe down the sides and the red accents in
the fender louver. To finish off the exterior it's sitting on the
factory wheels that are pictures with the original tires. We have
bought a new set of white line tires to keep you safe, but the
original tires come with it.
Next, we will look at the interior of this '79. On the inside it's
all original as well and is just as impressive as the rest of the
car. It features the light gray color scheme that has the wood
grain accents. This Thunder bird has the Power Windows and Power
Door locks options along with having the Power Driver Seat. Up
front it has the splint bench seat along with having the full bench
seat in the back. It features the original carpet and headliner
that are both beautiful along with the visors and seal plates. This
Thunderbird has tilt column with cruise control option in the
factory steering wheel with wood grain accents. The dash also
sports the wood grain accents and the original pad is phenomenal.
All the factory gauges are just as beautiful as the day it was
bought and are all working as they should. Inside the trunk it
still has the factory carpet and side inserts along with having the
spare and jack.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Ford. Under the hood
is a testament to the originality of it. Everything looks to be as
close to stock as you could ask for except for having had a new
radiator installed. All the metal looks to be rock solid and well
cared for. The power comes from the matching Numbers 351W V8 Engine
that's dressed in the factory valve covers and air cleaner. It's
set up with the Original 2 Barrel Intake and Motorcraft Carb. This
Thunderbird was also equipped with factory AC that we have not
converted over to 134 and have not charged since we purchased. It
also comes with Power Steering along with Power Brakes that feature
disc on the front and drums out back. When we look under it you are
sure to get an appreciation for how original this '79 is. It still
has the original starter on it and all the factory paint markings
along with almost all the factory paper tags are still there on the
springs and transmission. The 351 runs through the original FMX
Automatic Transmission that runs out back to the original 9" Rear
end with the 2.47 Gears. Don't miss out on this stunning time
capsule Thunderbird survivor that's ready to cruise or add to your
collection!
