1961 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Why This Car Is Special You
don�€�t come across the early 60s Thunderbird convertibles very
often, much less one in as nice of a color combination as this
example. These bullet-nose T-birds had plenty of style and this
restored one we have for sale here at Skyway Classics has the style
and looks like it did when it was new with the big 390 cubic inch
engine, beautiful Aquamarine paint, plush parchment interior
package, and those great looking wire wheels and whitewall tires to
complete the vintage look. Features 1961 Ford Thunderbird 390 cubic

390 cubic inch engine attached to a 'Cruise-O-Matic ' transmission
that shifts seamlessly going down the road. It is equipped with

with the 390 orange decal, chrome reservoir tank, chrome valve
covers, chrome engine braces, four-barrel carburetor, factory cast

runs great, has an automatic transmission, has a good sound, and
has a great suspension to propel you down the highway as you would
expect in a Thunderbird. This Thunderbird has Kelsey-Hayes chrome
wire wheels with wide whitewall tires, and an array of power
equipment that includes the tan top. Interior Inside is a restored
parchment interior with a luxury car look and feel with the twin
front bucket seats and the matching rear seats to envelop your
passengers, a quite stylish factory dash setup with the dual cowl
dash and an aluminum lower section, plenty of aluminum stainless
steel, pushbutton radio, full heat/defrost system, power windows,
carpeting, and a center console. The seats look great along with
the carpet, door panels, kick panels and dash. The swing away
steering wheel works as it should and shows no cracking. All
lights, blinkers, wipers and horn work as well as the gauges. Ford
added to the luxury with 12 more pounds of padding for the bucket
seats, and doors widened to 51 inches. This Thunderbird is a great
car to drive or show, with top up or down. Exterior This 3rd
