Now the time has come for the family to let it go. His daughter inherited the car and has kept it meticulously maintained ever since. That car was a Raven Black Thunderbird, which he cherished and cared for over many decades, right up until he passed away. A young doctor had just moved to Denver to establish a new practice and decided to buy the car of his dreams. The story of this car is a truly great one and is a testament to the original owner’s love for this car. Located in Denver, Colorado, the asking price for this classic Ford has been set at $70,000, but this is negotiable.
The family has now decided to part with their beloved T-bird, and have listed it for sale here at Hemmings. What this car represents is a much-loved and cherished survivor that has remained in the same family since the day that it rolled out of the new car showroom in 1960. It is possible the air conditioning is also incomplete because the mechanic did not want to mess with it BUT it may also not actually be an air conditioned car-these have a heater control that looks like it has an A/C function but it does not, if there is a large chrome vent above the radio it is an air conditioned car and if not it is actually heater only, see photos.This 1960 Ford Thunderbird 352 Special is not a “time capsule,” and to describe it as one would be to do it an injustice. Why the wheels and tires? A flashy "upgrade" and selling point that conveniently means they did not have to mess with old wheels and 14" tires. Why is the original engine missing? It was cheaper and easier to shove in a replacement under the guise of an "upgrade".
I agree with Greg, this is a car looks to me like it has been "messed with" just to shove it out the door and sell, a very common trap for first timers. I think your dealer is fishing for an inexperienced buyer. $19,000 for a 58-60 T-Bird in need of as much restorative work as that car needs is outrageously high.
