Another beautiful Basil Classic... a 1979 Ford Thunderbird with only 4,312 miles has been handpicked and meets Joe Basil's standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles since 1951. This vehicle is truly one of a kind and one of the cleanest, best-maintained, showroom-condition Thunderbirds you will find! Buy with confidence!!

An exceptionally preserved 1979 Ford Thunderbird is available now with just 4,312 original miles. This highly original survivor was acquired from a gentleman in Niagara Falls as part of a package deal and stands today as a stunning example of late-'70s American personal luxury. Finished in its factory-original paint and hand-painted pinstriping, the exterior shows beautifully, with no major blemishes—a true testament to how well this car has been cared for. The saddle tan half-vinyl roof adds a touch of elegance and pairs perfectly with the car's warm, period-correct color scheme. All surrounding chrome and trim is in excellent condition, shining bright and free of pitting or damage. Under the hood is the original 4.2L V8, running smoothly and quietly—just as it would have fresh off the showroom floor. Mechanically untouched and retaining all its factory components, this Thunderbird is a fantastic example of Ford engineering from the era. Step inside and you'll be greeted by an all-original saddle tan interior, featuring front and rear bench seating, a column shifter, and rich woodgrain accents on the door panels and dashboard. The cabin is in immaculate condition, with seats, carpets, and dash all presenting as nearly new. Every detail reflects the low mileage and careful ownership this car has enjoyed over the past four decades. If you're looking for a true collector-grade Thunderbird—or want a classy cruiser that turns heads and tells a story—this is it. You'll be hard-pressed to find another this original, with miles this low, and in such preserved condition.

Just look and you can tell that this vehicle was very well cared for by its owners and kept in show condition! When you drive this vehicle, it has the feel that you're looking for...runs and drives just like new! This is a no excuse vehicle. This car will make a fine collector's piece for you and your family for years to come! Instead of looking at your Dream car, drive it. We take trades and have financing available.
