INTRODUCING A 1961 FORD THUNDERBIRD:

A Timeless Classic That Turns Heads

Step back into an era when style ruled the road, and luxury was as much about presence as it was about performance. The 1961 Ford Thunderbird—the first of the legendary “Bullet Birds”—redefined personal luxury with its jet-age design, innovative features, and smooth, effortless ride.

Dressed in Raven Black with a striking red interior, this coupe is more than just a car; it’s a statement. Whether pulling into a car show or cruising through town, it attracts a crowd wherever it goes. The long, sculpted lines, the distinctive tailfins, and the chrome wire wheels wrapped in fresh Coker 215/75 R14 classic wide whitewall tires bring back the golden age of American motoring. And with fender skirts, dual side mirrors, reverse lights, and a factory windshield washer system, this Bird is loaded with period-correct details that make it stand out.

A Ride as Smooth as It Looks

Under the hood, this Thunderbird runs great with a powerful 390 cubic-inch V8 delivering 300 HP @ 4600 RPM gives it a confident and refined drive. A recent tune-up ensures it’s ready for the open road, and with power steering and power-assisted drum brakes, handling is effortless, making every journey a pleasure.

Classic Comfort & Jet Age Innovation

Step inside, and you’re greeted by an elegant, fully restored red leather interior, including newly reupholstered front seats that wrap you in comfort. The swing-away steering wheel, a signature feature of this era, makes entry and exit easy while adding to the car’s futuristic charm. The center console, AM radio, and Magic Aire heater/defroster complete the classic cockpit experience, taking you back to a time when driving was as much about the feel as it was about the destination.

A Car You’ll Be Proud To Own

Repainted in the 1990s, this Thunderbird’s finish still looks fantastic, a testament to the care it has received over the years. The dual exhaust adds the perfect note of vintage muscle, reminding you that luxury and performance can go hand in hand.

Whether you’re looking for a stunning showpiece, a weekend cruiser, or a rolling conversation starter, this 1961 Thunderbird is the perfect blend of history, style, and performance. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of American automotive excellence—this Bird is ready to fly.
