Capots Vintage, a specialist in prestige and classic vehicles in Lyon, is offering a Ford Thunderbird for sale. Launched in the 50s to rival the Corvette, the first generation Ford Thunderbird, nicknamed the T-Bird, became Ford's first true sports car. This icon of the 50s is a perfect marriage of elegance and performance. This icon of the 50s is a perfect marriage of elegance and performance. Our model is a code D, 312Ci version developing 245 bhp with a Holley quad-body carburettor. Presented in remarkable condition, it was previously owned by an engineer with a passion for the marque who lived in the United States and repatriated the car on his return to France. The history in our possession takes us back to 1987.
The bodywork was restored and a general mechanical overhaul was carried out, including changing the power steering cylinder, overhauling the braking system, overhauling the Holley carburettor, changing the fuel pump (electric), changing the engine oil and filter, changing the axle oil, greasing and overhauling the wiring harness.
Equipped as standard with power steering, a high-performance aluminium radiator has been fitted. We have its famous original hard-top with portholes. We have the owner's manual, history documents and photos of the restoration. For more photos and information, visit our website: capotsvintage. com
