1979 Ford Thunderbird 350ci For Sale

The most

The seventh generation of the iconic Ford Thunderbird was the last of an era, the final full-size version with the classic lines of the 1970s. From the dimensions of its bodywork to the displacement of its engine, it was a car without limits.

For classic car buyers, it's a car that's deliberately out of step with modern trends. It's an echo of a more carefree era, beautifully recalled by this excellent example. This 1979 model with the 351CI 5.7 litre 351M engine, it arrived in France from California in 2016.

Before arriving in France, it was fully restored. Thanks to sparing use, it remains in very good condition, pleasantly unmodified and factory original. The current owner has always parked it in a dry place and has never used it in the rain.

Sold with MOT until January 2028 verifying its condition, this represents an elegant and distinctive area of the classic American 70's period.
