BODY OVERVIEW: This Thunderbird is an absolute head-turner, featuring the timeless curves and elegant design that made the first-generation T-Bird an instant classic. The body remains in fantastic shape, reflecting the quality and care put into its restoration. The continental kit adds an extra touch of sophistication and nostalgia.

It retains a deep, glossy shine that perfectly highlights the car’s sleek and stylish lines. Imperfections are at a minimum. Expect only minor signs of wear from responsible enjoyment—nothing that detracts from its show-worthy presence. This car was taken down to bare metal during the restoration, and additional photos of the restoration process are available upon request.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The two-tone Peacock Blue and white interior is a perfect match for this car’s stunning exterior. It remains in fantastic condition, with the seats, dash, and trim all presenting beautifully. This Tbird is the epitome of 1950s automotive Americana. The power seat is a welcome luxury, and the vintage-look modern stereo keeps the music era-appropriate while offering modern sound quality and convenience.
