Vehicle Description
The second-generation Thunderbird is arguably the most distinctive
of the bunch. So when you can find a rare convertible that has
received the right care, has proper 352 V8 power, and has cool
extras like a roadster tonneau cover, then you know you this 1960
Ford Thunderbird is a true cut-above classic - and it's all at a
very nice price.
We love the way this 1960-correct Yosemite Yellow looks on this
droptop. It was a professional application later in life, and so
you get extra gloss and shine when you take this convertible out
for a sunny day cruise. These second-generation cars are
affectionately called "Squarebirds" because of the sharp angels,
but the intricate lines of the wraparound chrome bumpers front and
rear reveal there was a lot more going on with this design than its
predecessor. There are bright details abound on the T-birds,
including the little ornaments atop each front fender, the
Thunderbird script on the rocket-shaped body side moldings, and the
chrome grilles on the rear panels - all of which are great
reminders of the new jet age. And of course, we all love the
turbine-style wheel covers with the iconic whitewalls. All of this
is key to this convertible's outstanding presence today, but there
is one extra piece that will keep this one always drawing in the
crowds. You might have noticed a very well-integrated color-matched
tonneau cover. This gives you the freedom to cruise like an
original Thunderbird two-seat roadster, or remove it when extra
family and friends go for the ride. And unlike on other models,
this tonneau can stay in place while you operate the tan power
top.
Inside the two-tone on the beautifully finished buckets and door
panels have a Lincoln-level of execution. And the whole interior
flows seamlessly from the gorgeous cockpit-style dash through the
center console. So there's plenty of room in back for full-sized
adults with the tonneau is out, you'll be just as happy cruising
solo in Ford's personal luxury machine. In fact, you get
white-faced instruments are fitted into a shiny aluminum panel that
looks like a high-end clock face. Plus, the power adjusting bucket
seat, power windows, and power folding roof make this a total
luxury cruiser you control from the comfort of the driver's
seat.
Flip up the sporty clamshell hood to reveal a nicely detailed
engine bay that has a Yosemite Yellow air topper painted to match
the fender walls. And the mirror-like valve covers are always a
nice touch. But more than just look good, the 352 cubic-inch V8 is
part of the debut of Ford's power FE motor program. Topped with a
four-barrel carburetor, the V8 has all the right power to properly
move this droptop. On the road, the dual exhaust gives a hint at
the horsepower under the hood, but the T-bird never loses its
composure. It floats down the boulevard like a true vintage luxury
convertible should. This is aided by the right features such as the
three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, and power
steering.
You'll love showing off every inch of this T-bird, right down to
the 1979 Florida registration that's still on the windshield. It's
one of those great classics that was built to cruise comfortably so
you can impress anyone/anywhere. And at a price like this, you know
you need to hurry to take this classic T-bird home. Call
