Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

The Liberace Bird. 312 225hp 4 barrel engine, automatic, Continental kit, skirts, two tops. All original but tired and used. Original paint chipped and crazed, generally dirty and neglected. Reported Sold here last year for $25,000 plus commission.

Market commentary

A fair enough price for a non celebrity original 56 T Bird, the lingering touch of Liberace is free and the car is blessedly free from his trademark glitz and glimmer.
