Naturally, as the restoration was completed 21 years ago, the car is no longer box fresh but the restoration work has stood the test of time and the car still today presents in very good condition throughout. Since its restoration, this car has proudly amassed an impressive collection of trophies and accolades from countless shows, including multiple Best of Show awards and a first-place honour at the renowned Rhinebeck Antique Auto Show in New York. Each component of the vehicle underwent a meticulous stainless steel, nut and bolt restoration process, either returning it to its factory state or replacing it entirely. The Thunderbird heart beats with the original, numbers matching 292 Ford V8 engine, while the transmission remains the authentic Ford-O-Matic. Every detail, from the lustrous black lacquer paint to the electrical system, adhering faithfully to the period specifications. Over the course of a decade, relentless dedication by a well-established automotive garage culminated in the completion of this automotive masterpiece in 2002. Despite its weathered appearance, it was the immense potential this Ford possessed that was recognised. Some twenty years later it was uncovered, tucked away in the owner's barn. It was eventually placed in storage in ’72 and remained in state. Braving even the harshest winters, equipping the Thunderbird with snow tyres. Following the original owner's passing, a sibling inherited the car, harbouring an intense fondness for it.
