Same owner since 7 April, 1964. ALL 68,1xx miles of this car have been loving and obsessively documented by owner for over 50 years. The file that has been kept on this car is remarkable (4" thick) and has never shown a period of time where receipts were not kept and service was not performed/documented. Each and every receipt for everything ever purchased or performed on this car is intact; from brake linings, ball joints, light bulbs to oil pump, intake manifold and blueprinted history of the #'s matching drivetrain, which was professionally rebuilt to a higher standard by Jim Dove/Dove Mfg., is included. This M-Code, Sports Roadster Tribute including correct 3/2 barrel carb. configuration has always been road worthy and was never left to rot or decay in the elements (the documentation substantiates this). Both original ROT sheets verify the DNA of this Ford. The majority of upgrades, rebuilds, service and re-spray to correct colors/finishes/textures (including electroplated parts) were performed in the late 80's and early 90's. Jon Wright's Custom Chrome Plating restored to better than new, all the chrome on car as well as under the hood to "M" specifications (yes, we have all the receipts). Suspension components, leaf springs, brakes, brake lines and most of the undercarriage are in very good to new condition and working order. Google these "bullet birds" to learn more about this third generation Thunderbird that is highly regarded and styled with fiberglass tonneau cover, kelsey-hayes wire wheels, removeable fender skirts and more. We are selling this car for the estate of a family friend and this is one of the VERY RARE opportunities that presents itself to own a car with a COMPLETE account of its' history. After careful consideration of this car and its' overall condition, owner history and exclusive upgrades (in today's market this car would be $ 100k to recreate) we have priced this car @ a very reasonable level. We can work with you to arrange nationwide transportation as well as inspection by appointment only. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about this special, 1961 Thunderbird.
