BODY OVERVIEW:
This 1961 Ford Thunderbird still turns heads over six decades later, with its iconic “Bullet Bird” design and long, sleek lines. This thing looks like a rocket ship! The body presents well with straight panels and good overall fitment. As a former California car, the underbody and frame show in solid, original condition—a real bonus for classic buyers and a demonstration of what it means to be a “California car.”
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Repainted in its rich original shade of Heritage Burgundy, the color is unique in a great way and is a tasteful change from modern car colors. It’s an older repaint, so expect a few signs of use—minor chips and light scratches here and there—but nothing that takes away from the car’s overall appeal. This T-bird is best described as a cruise-in worthy classic that can be driven without constant fear of rock chips, etc.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The interior has been refinished with modern leatherette seat covers in what appears to be the car’s original shade of Light Pearl Beige. The interior shows beautifully and offers a striking contrast to the dark exterior. What a color combo! The bucket seats and center console give it a sporty and upscale
