Normally I’m not a fan of brown velour, but in this car it just fits. The T-tops tie the unusual B-pillar and partial vinyl roof together as a complete design I remember wondering “what were they thinking” when these first came out with that design, but somehow I find myself really liking this with the T-tops.Īs with cars we’ve seen from this seller before, the interior really looks great! The seller also tells us that everything works perfectly, from the factory air conditioning to the 8-track tape player (!). Even the body seams are relatively straight, something 1970’s Fords aren’t known for. This car is a fresh repaint on what was apparently a mint condition, less than 40,000 mile example that spent most of it’s life in Arizona and is very striking in appearance.Īs best as I can tell from pictures, the paint, chrome, and total exterior appear as new. According to it’s a pretty rare option, although no one seems to know exactly how many were made. I didn’t remember seeing a T-Bird with the T-top option before, so after a bit of research I was able to find that it was only offered on 19 models.

With T-tops, two-tone paint, polycast wheels and a brown velour interior, this 1978 Ford Thunderbird couldn’t be any more late 1970’s! It’s located in Lakeland, Florida and is being sold here on eBay with an opening bid of $7,500.
