Vehicle Description
There was no better way to make the personal luxury statement in
1978 than with the Ford Thunderbird. Today this is celebrated with
a low-mileage coupe that survives in all the best ways: from the
paint, right down to the 8-track stereo. So take a deeper look at
this loaded V8 time capsule.
This shows all the right signs of wearing its factory-applied Dark
Jade Metallic, and it looks quite nice today after spending over
four decades on this earth. It's not perfect, but that's exactly
how you want it. After all, a survivor needs to wear its age and
marks with pride. And part of the reason for this looking so
attractive also has to do with how well the sheet metal still holds
its angular creases. The real secret to the preservation is that we
have mileage logs from 1978 that show the low odometer is correct.
And averaging just over 600 miles annually means this has been
babied as a good luxury classic should. The reason for such special
care is that these were a well-done premium presentation. You see
that in a thoughtful way, the full pinstriping and double vinyl
roof show a detailed white against the green. And these seventh-gen
T-Birds had some of the most impressive designs around, with hidden
headlights, opera windows, and one of the most cohesive styles of
its era. That's why they still turn heads 45 years later.
The interior keeps the vintage style and green color. The thick
carpeting, smooth dash, and updated upholstery make this inviting.
There are also nice classic luxury features like AM/FM 8-track
stereo, cruise control, and power windows. There are also
provisions for some nice extras like power locks and factory air
conditioning, and they will need servicing to function again
properly.
Ford's 351 cubic-inch V8 is a mighty engine, and this example has
been given solid a recent investment. This includes new ignition
wires, a gas tank sending unit, an Optima red top battery, and the
carburetor. It fires up with the readiness you get from a
well-respected machine. But just because this is a low-mileage
well-preserved coupe doesn't mean you should hesitate to add to the
odometer. The consignor drove over 100 miles to our showroom. After
all, with features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, and power brakes with discs up front, this T-bird is a
solid any-time cruiser.
The sale includes the original warranty card, owner's manual, and
maintenance records. Amazingly, you can get this kind of standout
vintage cruiser for an affordable price. That's why we know it will
be gone quickly. Call now!
