Originally painted Briarcliffe Green (code S), the Thunderbird’s exterior was refinished in Sultana Turquoise during the frame-off restoration. Features include power white convertible top, body-color boot, driver-side mirror, rear wheel skirts, and rear-mounted antenna.

A set of 14-inch chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels is wrapped in 205/75 whitewall radial tires.

The interior is upholstered in Medium Turquoise leather (code 87). Features include bucket seats with center console, power windows, power steering, column-mounted automatic shifter, Magic Aire heater, and AM radio.

The instrument panel includes a 140-mph speedometer, clock, and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature. The odometer currently shows 83,151 miles.

Power is provided by a 300-horsepower 352cid V8 backed by a three-speed automatic transmission. Engine features include chrome valve covers and air cleaner.

This Thunderbird was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and solid rear-drive axle. Braking is provided by power four-wheel drums. A dual exhaust system exits at the rear.

Lead Writer Diego Rosenberg is a native of Wilmington, Delaware and Princeton, New Jersey, giving him plenty of exposure to the charms of Carlisle and Englishtown. Though his first love is Citroen, he fell for muscle cars after being seduced by 1950s finned flyers—in fact, he’s written two books on American muscle. But please don’t think there is a strong American bias because foreign weirdness is never far from his heart. With a penchant for underground music from the 1960-70s, Diego and his family reside in the Southwest.
