1961 Ford Thunderbird

Why This Car Is Special

You don't come across the early 60s Thunderbirds 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 one has the style and looks like it did when it was new with the big 390 cubic inch engine, plush black interior package, and those great looking wire wheels and whitewall tires to complete the vintage look.

The 390 engine in ours looks stock and original with the four-barrel carburetor, grey painted factory air cleaner system, Thunderbird factory grey painted valve covers, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, factory cast iron exhaust manifolds, FoMoCo red windshield washer filler bag, and sits in a very clean, painted, and detailed engine compartment.

It 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.

Interior

Inside is a well-preserved black 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, black carpeting, and a black and silver center console.

It also has a detailed trunk with the correct factory trunk mats and the rear side fender wheel covers stored there too.

Exterior

This 3rd generation Thunderbird we have here is painted in the factory Corinthian White over the entire stylish body and hood scoop and gives tis car the beautiful sweeping lines with the full-length trim on the top creases all the way to the tailfin.

The bumpers are a seamless part of the design both front and rear with the rear fender skirts (not pictured but in the trunk) and wait till you see the iconic afterburner-style taillights.

To finish the package it has wide white wall tires with chrome wire wheels and red label spinner caps to set them off.

Conclusion
