Description:

1961 Ford Thunderbird Coupe. After many years in storage the son recommissioned it including a rebuild of its original 390 FE V8 engine. A few performance enhancements were incorporated which included adapting a 700R4 3 speed overdrive transmission and an Edelbrock carburetor, giving the car improved everyday drivability on modern roadways. The original Cruise O Matic transmission has been rebuilt and along with the original bell housing is ready to reinstall as is the original Holley 4-Barrell carburetor if so desired. Other than detailing and polish nothing cosmetic was required to bring this car to the beautiful condition that it sits in today. There is absolutely zero rust on T-Bird. The paperwork documenting the provenance of this car is nothing short of amazing. It provides a glimpse into the lives of the owners and the love and care given to this great car. Some of it is pictured here, especially the original paperwork and communication with the Ford Motor Company. What isn’t shown but is included are countless owners logs and maps and other mementos including of their journey in this car to the 1961 World’s Fair in Seattle, Washington in October of 1961. The pictures speak for themselves but I will tell you that this car runs and drives as good as it looks. Everything and I mean everything works on this car including the AC with its original components. The original black lacquer paint is extraordinary as is the supple black leather interior. The glass and bright work presents very well. Could this car benefit from a professional paint correction and chrome polish? Sure but it really doesn’t need it to take home a trophy in any car show and rank at the top of any preservation class judging at the highest levels. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or Call
