Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

312 245hp, automatic, Town & Country radio, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, two tops, A C, P S. Excellent paint, interior, chrome, glass, door fits. Restored to like new condition and still exceptional aside from a few careful miles. A very sharp and impressive T bird.

Market commentary

This car has a somewhat frightening auction history: sold at Barrett Jackson in West Palm in 2007 for $110,000 fresh from its 2006 restoration; then again in West Palm a year later for $66,000 and now here in Michigan for $52,250. Thats not anything that can be described as appreciation yet the cars condition is still better than new and its equipment is hard to beat. Those citing collector cars as investments will not be including this T bird in their examples. At this price it is a very good value.
