With just 1,165 miles on the odometer, which is verified by a Pennsylvania title that indicates actual miles, this 1975 Ford Thunderbird presents in highly original, unrestored condition. Wearing the original sheet metal, the luxurious coupe is finished in its original Starfire Blue paint and boasts its original interior that matches the dark blue vinyl top, a combination of which just 312 Thunderbirds were equipped with in 1975, according to the car’s Marti Report. The car also retains its original weather stripping, trim, bumpers, suspension and exhaust.

Tom Edwards Ford in Louisville, Ohio was the original delivering dealership, and the Thunderbird was given to a Ford employee after 30 years of service. The Thunderbird is accompanied by a treasure trove of documentation such as the original window sticker, the original build sheet, the original owner’s warranty card, the original consumer information sheet, the original owner’s manual, the original showroom brochure and the original owner’s registration card. In addition to that, the car retains its five original Michelin thin white-stripe tires, and it comes with extra keys. Under the lengthy hood resides a 460/220 HP V-8 engine and Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission.

Very nicely appointed, the Thunderbird features power disc brakes, power steering, power windows, power locks, a power driver’s seat and other amenities that helped perch the Thunderbird at the summit of Ford exclusivity.
