This vehicle was purchased new in Pittsburgh on August 18, 1978. I wanted to own a DJE because it was specifically designed to celebrate Ford Motor's 75th year in business. In the Spring of 1978, Ford produced a small number of Polar White and Pastel Beige DJE's offered with either cloth or full leather seats. The car for sale is one of the very few DJE's in white with all leather seats. There were 705,503 Thunderbirds produced nationwide in 1978. Of those, only 18,994 (2.7%) were DJE's and only 271 were Polar White (Marti Auto Works). I would venture to say there are very few still in existence, especially in white.
This vehicle has been garage kept since purchase. It was only used as a "driver" until the early 1980's. At that time, it was kept in a private garage and driven infrequently mainly for car shows. This vehicle is in mint condtion. Vehicle window sticker and bill of sale available.
