About the car

Ford Thunderbird 1974

7.5-litre (460 cu in) V8 engine

• Recently MOT'd

• Next MOT due in 2 years

• Runs and drives but is not in show condition

Condition
This is a hobby car over 50 years old, so signs of age are visible. The paintwork shows imperfections and the car is not concours condition. Under the vinyl roof the roof metal appears to need attention, and there will almost certainly be other items to restore, as is common with cars of this age.

However, the car has been kept running and provides an excellent starting point either to enjoy as a summer car as it is, or to gradually restore as a hobby project. Owned by the previous owner for 7 years with very light use.

Model
The 1974 Thunderbird belongs to a series that emphasised luxury, comfort and presence. A long bonnet, full-bodied coachwork and a large V8 make this a true American cruiser that attracts attention and sparks conversation wherever it goes.

If you are looking for a characterful classic with authentic American V8 sound and 1970s style at its best, this is a very interesting option.

Odometer reading in miles but there is no guarantee it is accurate, so assume it may not be to avoid unpleasant surprises.
