1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop

Description

The second-generation Thunderbird, released in 1958, was completely redesigned and transformed into a more luxurious four-passenger grand touring car. The car was longer and heavier, and it proved to be a massive success, as the larger T-bird earned Motor Trend’s coveted “Car of the Year” award for 1958 and would go on to sell nearly four times as many units as the original two-seat "Baby Bird” predecessor.

This ‘60 “Square Bird" features a segmented egg-crate grille and triple taillights, unique to the model year, and its Tudor Hardtop body is finished in red and white. Inside, the color scheme continues with red and white vinyl upholstery. Amenities include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, power windows, and an AM radio.

Power comes from a factory-rated 300-horsepower 352ci V8 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and paired with a three-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.

The car was reportedly refurbished in the mid-2010s, and it was acquired by the seller in 2024.

This 1960 Ford Thunderbird hardtop is now offered with a clean Oklahoma title in the seller’s name.
