Vehicle Description
There's really no such thing as an undesirable Thunderbird. But, in
the name of variety, a lot of vintage 'birds have been transformed
into insular hot rods that just aren't as cool as their pure,
correctly restored peers. That's why this choice drop-top is so
appealing. Benefitting from acute restoration, it wraps a smooth
Ford-O-Matic transmission and 312 cubic inches of hot Thunderbird
V8 in clean, all-American sheetmetal that's both attractive and
timeless. In the market for a cool rendition of a legendary
collector car? This awesome roadster could be the literal
interpretation of your next classic!
AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Reflecting glowing Azure Blue two-stage paint under a choice of two
white tops, this curvaceous convertible was carefully massaged back
to life during a comprehensive restoration. Detailing begins with a
bulleted bumper, which props a broad stainless grille under hooded
headlights and a teal-trimmed Thunderbird header. Behind that
header, a classy hood scoop leads stainless-trimmed glass that's
cleared by polished wipers and reflected in a factory mirror. Below
that greenhouse, a finned profile points factory skirts under
ornate louvers and flowing "Thunderbird" scripts. And at the back
of the car, chrome-trimmed, jet-inspired taillights center an
intricate trunk emblem between tilted antennas and a second
wraparound bumper that's fashioned around true-dual exhaust.
THUNDERBIRD SHOW, FORD-O-MATIC GO
Tilt the hood and you'll find 312 cubic inches of dressed
Thunderbird power! Introduced in 1956, Ford's stout Y-block V8
remained an option in blue oval staples well into the mid-1970s.
Bottom-side, a correct Ford-O-Matic transmission twists torque
through a factory-spec rear axle. That drivetrain hangs in a
sturdy, road-ready X-frame that's founded on a fully restored
double A-arm front and solid axle rear suspension. At the corners
of the car, power-assisted drum brakes complement good handling
characteristics with solid and confident stops. Those handling
characteristics are easily explored through factory power steering.
Exhaust is managed by aluminized pipes, which span big resonators
and throaty turbo mufflers. And power meets the pavement through
attractive chrome wire wheels, which spin white-walled BF Goodrich
Silvertown Radial tires.
TIMELESS IN WHITE
In keeping with this roadster's high performance theme, interior
outfitting remains minimal, with high quality restoration pieces
providing vivid white and turquoise vinyl plenty of long-term
durability. Front and center, a stylish dash wraps engine-turned
trim around rebuilt gauges, modern air conditioning and modern,
direct-fit audio. At the middle of the floor, a petite chrome
shifter floats between Thunderbird-themed floor mats. Ornate side
panels front lucid power windows. And the driver spins a classy,
Azure-laced steering wheel.
A highly desirable drop-top that wraps well-maintained restoration
around a storied V8 and a smooth, automatic transmission, this
fabulous T-Bird offers a little something for everyone. And what's
better: it's exactly the kind of classic that provides endless fun
on the highway and celebrity status in the parking lot. Don't miss
the opportunity to experience a stellar piece of American
automotive history!
