1979 Ford Thunderbird equipped with the desirable 351M 5.8L V8 and automatic transmission. Purchased new by my grandfather in 1979 and remaining in his ownership ever since, this Thunderbird has reportedly never been driven in rain and has been carefully preserved throughout its life. Opportunities to purchase a one-owner example with this level of care and history are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The odometer currently shows 29,653 miles. While the buyer should perform their own verification, the vehicle presents consistently with the mileage shown based on the condition of the interior, engine bay, and overall appearance. This is the cleanest original 1979 TB you will find out there!
Finished in black over a red interior, this Thunderbird has the classic late-1970s luxury look that made these cars so popular. The interior is pristine and well preserved with perfect seats, carpet, dash, door panels, and trim for a vehicle of this age.
Vehicle features include:
The vehicle starts, runs, drives, and stops as expected for a classic Thunderbird. The engine bay presents very well, and the vehicle retains its original luxury appearance both inside and out.
This is not a restored show car or trailer queen. It is an honest, well-preserved survivor that has remained spotless since grandpa drove it off the lot and is ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker.
