Vehicle Description
The 1977 Ford Thunderbird was a drastic departure from the previous
generation. Rather than continuing to grow, the Thunderbird, like
much of the domestic product line, shrunk in size as a response to
growing concerns about fuel costs. The car was nearly 1,000 pounds
lighter than the 1976 model, and rode on a wheelbase that was 6
inches shorter. In addition to size, the 1977-79' Thunderbird's
price was reduced as well, now with a $5,000 base price. The car
was still Ford's entrant in the "personal luxury car" market,
however, despite the smaller package.The Thunderbird's new look was
similar in spirit to earlier models, only now it featured concealed
headlights, a more square grille, and a glassier cabin, with opera
windows.The car's 302-cid, 130-hp V-8 was standard and 149- and
161-hp versions of the 351-cid V-8 were optional. Regardless of
engine choice, shifting was managed by a three-speed automatic
transmission. This particular example is equipped with the optional
351 V8 and has optional Factory Air Conditioning. The car hails
from Arizona where it has only been driven 30,803 since new. From
the outside to the inside, every corner of this Thunderbrid is
absolutely impeccable. The original owner took extremely good car
of his Thunderbird and did not let her go until 2 years ago. We
also have all the original paper work for the car including
Protect-o-Plate, Warranty Car, Sales Receipt and Owners' Manual.
Overall, the car is in superb condition and belongs in a museum.
