1961 Ford Thunderbird

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1961 Ford Thunderbird, a bold and beautifully preserved example of the early Bullet Bird generation. Finished in an elegant shade of Blue over matching Blue vinyl interior, this T-Bird offers a perfect blend of jet-age styling and muscle-era upgrades. With its long, low silhouette and iconic pointed rear quarters, it remains one of the most striking American cars of the early 1960s.

Power comes from Fords 390ci V8, paired to the smooth-shifting 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The engine breathes through a recently installed Holley 600 CFM 4-barrel carb, and the car has benefited from multiple recent mechanical upgrades: a new master cylinder, new battery and alternator, fresh fluids including transmission and oil, and new sway bar links all of which contribute to confident driving and reliable performance. It also features upgraded disc brakes up front for improved stopping power, with drums in the rear.

Inside, the Thunderbird stays true to its luxury cruiser roots with a unique, swing-away steering column for easy entry and exit, power brakes, and its classic AM radio. The gauges have been updated with functional oil, water, voltage, and fuel meters giving you modern feedback while keeping the retro dash layout intact. The interior shows well, with the blue vinyl nicely complementing the exterior tone and the whole cabin exuding a period-correct charm.

This Thunderbird isnt just a pretty face. Its been thoughtfully updated to be a true driver something that looks stunning at a car show, but doesnt hesitate to cruise comfortably on the open road.
