There were just 455 examples of the Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster produced. This example is painted in the correct Sand Beige paint and remains in excellent condition. The engine and transmission were rebuilt 3,500 miles ago. It has been kept in a climate-controlled garage since new and has always been well maintained. The Art Querfeld-designed pearl-beige interior is in extraordinary condition. The standard swing-away steering wheel eases entry and exit for drivers.
The Sports Roadster features a fiberglass tonneau that fits over the rear seats, essentially creating a two-place roadster from the four-seater. The 'Bullet-Birds' ride on Kelsey Hayes chrome wire wheels that further enhances its appeal.
In 2010, this car was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction in Pebble Beach, CA where it was estimated to sell for $50,000 - $75,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $41,250 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2010
