That's a fine motor, but there's no replacement for displacement. This Thunderbird originally came with a 352 cubic-inch V8. But even when it's just you out for a solo drive, you'll appreciate the power windows, so you can easily show off the pillarless hardtop profile without ever leaving the driver's seat. As Ford's personal luxury offering, there is plenty of individual room for four people. But your cruising tunes really come from a more modern AM/FM/CD tuner hidden in the glovebox. It's such an integral part of the full presentation of the dash that it was wisely left on display. Subtle upgrades seem to be the total theme of the interior. And it all looks quite at home in this T-bird because they took the time to follow the original pattern.
Plus, the dash pad, door panels, center console, and headliner were also upgraded to match. The cream leather seating with durable blue vinyl for high traffic areas is both attractive and sensible. The interior was given a nice investment in a custom setup later in life. The 18-inch Boyds wheels are just the cherry on top. From the huge front bumper with integrated grille, to the intricate dual hood ornaments, to the form-fitting rear bumper – all of this makes for a complete and desirable collectible. And all the important brightwork is complete and shining.
Those huge dipping fenders, intricate trunk panel, and 1960-exclusive three-part afterburner tail lamps are all part of unique total package.
Instead, look at how complete the car is. But the paint is not what you should be most interested in. This is a real-deal Diamond Blue car, and we even suspect most of the paint could be original.
So when you can find an example that's this complete and has amplified all its best qualities – and it's all quite affordable – then you should take a moment to dig deeper. The second-generation Ford Thunderbirds are large, powerful, and absolutely distinctive. 390 V8, 3 SPD AUTO, PS, PB, UPGRADED INTERIOR, GR8 REAL-DEAL 2ND GEN THUNDERBIRD
