The last of the true Big Birds. Before the downsizing of 1977, the Thunderbird shared its full-size Lincoln-based chassis, boasting long-hood/short-deck proportions, substantial curb weight, and a road presence that made it a standout among personal luxury coupes of its time.
This example is powered by the 460 cubic-inch V8 paired with a C6 3-speed automatic transmission and 3.25 gearing, delivering smooth, confident performance. The silver exterior pairs with a matching vinyl roof, while the red leather interior provides a bold contrast. Both the paint and upholstery are in excellent condition, a testament to careful ownership.
The interior reflects the era's emphasis on comfort, featuring plush leather seating, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, power steering, and power brakes. A wraparound dashboard and analog gauges further emphasize the Thunderbird's luxury focus.
Owned within the same family for over 40 years, this Thunderbird has been cherished and preserved. It represents not just a car, but a piece of Ford history from the waning years of America's full-size personal luxury coupes.
