Today the majority of buyers are seeking a unique classic that offers the ride and modern conveniences of a newer vehicle. So while Ford produced several Thunderbirds in 1964, finding one 56 years later that can hold its own on the highway is a rare find. That driving experience is what the previous owner had int mind when he poured over $55k into a rotisserie restoration of his beloved T-Bird! Receipts and photos that document this 2013 build will accompany the sale. As you will see in the photos and description below, this Thunderbird is nicer than any other you will find on the market for only $34k. A complete list of features and options include; rebuilt original 390 FE V8, FMX Automatic, Vintage A/C, Tilt-Away Steering, Power Steering, 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes, Custom Headers & Exhaust, New Interior, Center Console Storage, Chrome Grille, Chrome Bumper, Factory Radio, 20″ Foose Wheels, and New Lexani 245/35/ZR20 Tires!
