The engine is Ford’s 351 cubic-inch V8 which would have had around 150 horsepower. 1979 would be the last year of the midsized LTD II-based Thunderbird before they were resized again. The underside is reportedly as nice as everything else is. This one has perfect ribbed velour both front and back and the seller says that everything works right down to having ice-cold air-conditioning. Surprisingly, but not really, there are no power windows on this Thunderbird and it’s a rare T-Bird of this generation that shows up here on Barn Finds with leather seats. The seventh-generation Thunderbird was made for three years, 1977, 1978, and 1979. Hopefully that’s easy to change as those are most likely $10 exhaust tips from the neighborhood auto parts store and they would come off in the first 0.01 seconds if I owned this otherwise elegant, beautiful, understated luxury car. One thing that’s a big nay for me is the exhaust poking out of the back like that. The “polycast” wheels sure look great and they’re original to the car.

I’m trying to decide on these wheels with whitewall tires: yea or nay? As long as the tires are fairly new I’d keep them.

It’s not surprising that the headlight doors work given the incredible condition of this car. The headlights work! Those of us who have owned cars with hidden headlights know that sometimes they don’t open, stay open all the time, or they’re winking at you – as in only one side opens or closes. There is no reserve and the current bid price is $4,650. They’re selling it to help the family settle the estate and it can be found listed here on eBay in The Queen City: Cincinnati, Ohio. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.This 1979 Ford Thunderbird appears to be in beautiful condition inside and out and according to the seller, it has been a one-family-owned car since new.
