The Burgundy paint on this Thunderbird shines up nicely and looks just amazing. It also pairs quite nicely with the two-tone Burgundy and White interior, which also presents most excellently from top to bottom. Of course, the various chrome pieces like the bumpers, window surrounds, door vents, etc. also shine with almost perfection. Just as important, the undercarriage doesn’t show signs of rust. Short tailfins with more subtle rocket taillights show a design evolution connected to the late 1950s. While you see wire hubcaps in the pictures, the original hubcaps are included in the sale, if you want to preserve the factory appearance of this car, which is a nice option to have.

You get all kinds of functional goodies with this car. An FE 390ci V8 with 300-horsepower on tap runs strong, while the Cruise-O-Matic transmission performs gear changes smoothly. The original AM radio will play tunes while you cruise. While it has factory air, the seller says the system needs to be recharged.

It can be a gamble to buy a classic car, but this one comes with a three-ring binder full of vehicle history and maintenance records. That’s great reassurance you’re getting something which has been cared for properly. Also included are the car’s manuals, plus Thunderbird catalogs and memorabilia.

Produced from 1955 to 2005 with only a production break between the 1997 and 2002 model years, the Ford Thunderbird has impacted American automotive history greatly. Ford created the T-Bird as a response to the Chevrolet Corvette, although the two cars went in different directions.
