Equipment
Supercharger, Town & Country radio, chrome wire wheels, whitewalls, power windows.
Condition
Freshly restored by Amos Minter and family to showroom condition, judged 300 of 300 points by Classic Thunderbird Club. Perfect. One of fifteen pre-production D-Code T-birds assembled by Ford to run at Daytona Speed Week in advance of the introduction of the F-Code supercharged Thunderbird.
Market commentary
An interesting exercise for Amos Minter and his family, known for their over-the-top restorations of 2-seat Thunderbirds. This rare car was carefully done to factory specifications and finishes specifically to meet the highest standards of Thunderbird judging, and it succeeded. The reported high bid here is about 25% over the value of an equally well restored F-Code, and less than some have sold for. This rare bird is worth a lot more.
