Overview of 1960 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe For Sale by Owner

Known as the creator of the Personal Luxury Car segment, Ford’s Thunderbird drew inspiration from Europe’s grand tourers—machines built for comfort, elegance, and long-distance cruising. Ford ultimately produced eleven generations of the T-Bird, evolving from its original two-seat layout to a more versatile four-seat design that broadened its appeal. This 1960 Ford Thunderbird is a standout second-generation example currently offered in Aptos, California. With only 12,510 miles since its full restoration, this car presents as a well-preserved and thoughtfully updated classic. Upgrades such as a front disc brake conversion and electric windshield wipers enhance drivability while maintaining its vintage charm. The sale also includes a car cover and a reprinted original owner’s manual, making it an inviting opportunity to own and enjoy a piece of American automotive history.

Exterior and Interior

This 1960 Ford Thunderbird wears a Gulfstream Aqua coat of paint which is a very scenic shade of blue, meant to invoke memories of the sky on a clear day. The car comes with a set of 14-inch chromed wire wheels that include Thunderbird spinner caps, and has chrome bumpers too. You’ll also doubtless notice its sweeping stance, rear fins, and whitewall tires, all icons of Sixties luxury cars and definitely features that aren’t seen today. Up front, you’ve got dual headlamps and a hood scoop, while the rear wheels are semi faired in for a sleeker side profile. The turquoise and white interior of this 1960 Ford Thunderbird offers four seats, because the second generation is where a rear seat started to be provided. It’s a nice place to spend time, as the car comes with Ford’s Select Aire air conditioning system, as well as power windows and a push-button radio. After all, the T-Bird was a luxury car, and since it was meant to be driven for long distances, it also has a spacious trunk for all your luggage.

Engine

A 352ci V8 powers this 1960 Ford Thunderbird. The engine uses a 4-barrel carburetor and makes a factory rated 300 horsepower. This car also comes with Ford’s Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission driving its rear wheels. We’re informed that the car has undergone a front disc brake conversion too, ensuring that stopping power is better than factory.

$89,999

The 1972 Porsche 911 T Coupe represents one of the most unique and collectible variants of the long-hood 911 lineage. As part of Porsche’s F-Series generation, the 911 T combined lightweight driving dynamics with the company’s proven air-cooled flat-six formula.

This example is finished in attractive Albert Blue over a tan interior and shows approximately 76,346 miles.
