It has been rebuilt and balanced, include rings, bearings, and camshaft. It’s a 352 cubic inch V8 that produced 300 hp from the factory. The power windows and seats work fine along with the gauges, but the gas gauge is temperamental, and the seller has been looking to source an OEM replacement. Inside the car, the seats have been reupholstered with OEM material, while the door panels, dash pad, headliner, and carpet are original to the car, as are the floor mats. The glass is partially tinted and good overall with a few minor chips in the windshield. All the chrome is straight and original, as well. It was undercoated at the dealer when new and was recently redone. The paint is original, and the seller says there is no rust on the car. The seller has spent the last couple of years whipping it back into shape and here’s a list of some of the work that has been done: It had only covered 42,000 miles up to that point and only a few hundred more since. Originating in Northern California, the car had previously spent 34 years stored in that family’s wine cellar where it never saw sunlight. This ’60 T-Bird was purchased by the seller from the original owner’s family in 2018. Thank you, Ikey Heyman, for another classic find! It’s being offered in Roseville, California (near Sacramento), and here on craigslist for $23,000 OBO. This 1960 T-Bird has had a ton of work done to it in terms of aftermarket parts and looks pretty sharp. The decision to re-invent the car must have worked by Ford standards as they sold nearly 200,000 units of the “Square Bird” instead of 50,000+ of the now-iconic smaller car. The second generation of the Ford Thunderbird, which ran from 1958-60, was it’s first as a 4-passenger personal luxury car instead of the 2-seater it replaced.
