For Sale: 1979 Ford Thunderbird in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

The loaded and luxurious Thunderbirds of 1979 seem to always know how to grab attention. Hidden headlight, opera windows, V8 power, loaded interiors, and well-done color coordination delivered on the personal luxury promise. And as you look over this example, you'll find a highly original and quite rare style. Thunderbird fans will recognize the rear window delete and vinyl top as something unique. This shows the right signs to be a true Heritage special edition. It was Ford's way of giving a proper sendoff to the seventh-generation coupe, which was the last before the T-Bird got a big downsize. So they loaded it with options, gave it some unique features, and even called it a collector's item from new. And over four decades later, to see it as a true collector and a true survivor is something quite special. So dig into all the details of this loaded and distinct Thunderbird.
