In 1960, the Ford Thunderbird experienced remarkable production success, with nearly 93,000 units rolling off the assembly line, a significant increase from previous years. This milestone coincided with the introduction of the second-generation Thunderbird, marking a triumphant era for the iconic vehicle.
Notably, convertible models enjoyed heightened popularity in 1960, with Ford selling 11,860 units featuring a folding roof. Recently, a well-preserved 1960 Thunderbird surfaced on Craigslist after spending years in dry storage. While limited photo quality hampers detailed inspection, the T-Bird appears ripe for restoration.
Equipped with a working convertible top, V8 engine, and manual transmission, it boasts a desirable red exterior with a white top. Despite uncertainties surrounding the engine’s condition, priced at $10,000, this Thunderbird presents a rare opportunity for restoration enthusiasts, albeit with some risks.
