Gateway Classic Cars is excited to offer this unique 1973 Ford
Thunderbird for sale right now in our Scottsdale, Arizona showroom
located in North Phoenix. You will immediately notice what I am
referring to through the word 'unique' when looking closely at the
roof of this T-bird, which has a removable hardtop. According to
the seller, who has owned the car since 1985, this was a custom
fitted option for the original owner that was installed by a Ford
dealer and was not some back-yard hackjob. The 'destination code'
on the data plate backs this claim up, as this was a home office
reserved car or in other words a Ford executive was the first
owner. This Thunderbird looks like it was reserved for a moviestar
with the double gold color option; the gold exterior paintjob still
shines bright while the gold leather interior and carpet inside
have held up well over the years. Equally as impressive is the
original, numbers matching powertrain on this Ford. It has the 429
CID V8 tied to a C6 3-speed automatic transmission that shifts as
smooth as the leather on the seats. This 1973 Ford Thunderbird for
sale right now comes included but not exclusively with the
following options: Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio with 8-track
player, Targa Top (1-pc hardtop), Cruise Control, Power Brakes,
Power Steering and Power Windows. The owner has kindly included
some parts he has accumulated over the years which should help the
new buyer get started with any projects they want to work on
including: new valve covers and gaskets, touch-up paint, lead
additive for gasoline, a new climate control dash unit, a power
window motor/regulator, spare floormats and a set of four original
hubcaps. These sixth generation Thunderbirds (1972-76) were the
largest and heaviest Thunderbirds ever built by Ford, with a curb
weight of almost 4500lbs. With a total length of 225 inches you
will see the sun move west in the sky just walking from the trunk
to the engine compartment! This is a very composed car to drive
with almost as many creature comforts as a modern car and it makes
you feel like you own the road compared with all the compact cars
most people drive today. Call our helpful and knowledgeable Sales
