Equipment
312/245hp, automatic, porthole hardtop, power steering, power brakes, power windows, Town and Country radio, Kelsey Hayes wheels, fender skirts.
Condition
Body-off restoration by Minter, a big name in the Thunderbird world. The paint is very good, but the overhead lights reveal swirls. The panel fit is excellent and the chrome is very good. The engine compartment is immaculate and the underbody is like new. Inside the car is fully restored and appears like new. Near perfection, however the paint finish is not to the standard expected associated with the Minter name.
Market commentary
This is not the first time a Minter restored Thunderbird brought ridiculous money at Barrett-Jackson and it probably won’t be the last. This proves that the Minter name still means something to collectors and they will recklessly abandon all sense to own a car that has passed through his shop.
