It is said that you will be “transported to 1959” when you drive this Thunderbird. It is reported to have only one retail owner since new. The current owner acquired the car from the original selling dealer, who retained it after the original owner traded it back in at the dealership in the 1970s. He was particularly keen on maintenance. It is reported that the vehicle has always been rust-free and has experienced one repaint, the top has been replaced, the seat inserts are not the correct pleated vinyl, but under the hood, firewall and fender wells are all original and rust-free factory Ford finish, as are the door openings and sills. The interior also features the factory installed carpet door panels, console, dash and more. This T-Bird features an H-code 352-cid, 300-hp V-8 engine with an automatic transmission. The brake and fuel lines have been replaced and proper zinc oil has been used. It drives very well and all lights and mechanical components operate as Ford intended.
