Vehicle Description
The third generation Thunderbird was introduced in 1961 and had a
short run of only a few years. It was also the Pace Car for the
Indianapolis 500. The T-bird had strong sales numbers and was a
market leader in luxury, performance and automotive firsts like the
swing away steering wheel that allowed for easy entry and exit. It
could be purchased with A/C, power windows, seats, AM radio and
fender skirts . A total of over 200,000 Thunderbirds were produced
in three years.
This particular beauty comes out of long term loving ownership and
excellent care. This T-bird still shows a lot of originality with a
re-paint some years back. The interior is original with the
exception of a carpet kit. This car is in excellent mechanical
condition, with the turn of the key the engine starts right up and
idles quietly. It goes down the road as it should with all lights
in working order. The car comes with receipts of maintenance and
care dating back over twenty years. In our opinion, the third
generation T-bird especially the 1961 model is one of the most
striking of the "big" birds.
