The car is said to have been repainted in its current shade of white during previous ownership. Equipment includes a black convertible soft top, a hood scoop, hooded headlights, faux fender louvers, tail fins, rear fender skirts with bright stone guards, and chrome bumpers with integrated dual exhaust outlets at the rear. The convertible soft top and frame were refurbished during current ownership.
Chrome-finished 14″ wire wheels wear spinner center caps and are mounted with 205/75 Coker Classic whitewall tires, and a full-size spare is housed in the trunk. The car is fitted with power-assisted steering and a rebuilt steering gearbox. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The seller states the front disc brakes were added, along with replacing the rear brake components, during current ownership.
The cabin features a power-adjustable front bench seat reupholstered in red vinyl and joined by a color-matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes a retro-style AM/FM cassette stereo, a heater and defroster, polished door sills, manually-operated windows, red lap belts, Thunderbird-branded rubber floor mats, and engine-turned aluminum accents on the doors and dashboard. The dash pad, seat covers, and door panels are said to have been replaced during current ownership.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears a chrome horn ring and frames a 140-mph speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 61k miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The E-code 312ci V8 was factory rated at 270 horsepower and breathes through dual Holley four-barrel carburetors. Features include a chrome air cleaner lid and finned Thunderbird valve covers. Work since 2018 consisted of rebuilding the carburetors, coating the exhaust manifolds, and adding an electric fuel pump. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. The transmission is said to have been rebuilt during current ownership, and the seller notes a driveshaft seal leak.
