Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this highly original 1973 Ford Thunderbird. Through the mid-century era, Ford's Thunderbird was a longstanding leader in the personal luxury coupe segment. These sixth generation Thunderbirds (1972-76) were the largest and heaviest Thunderbirds ever built by Ford, with a curb weight of almost 4500lbs. With a total length of 225 inches, you will see the sun move west in the sky just walking from the trunk to the engine compartment! Under the hood of this big bird is the optional 460 CID V8! This torque monster is paired to a 3-speed automatic so just imagine how this car can get up and go or cruise smoothly down the highway. The cabin received a split front bench seat and blue vinyl upholstery from the factory. The interior has several luxuries such as fingertip Speed Control, a power driver seat, an electric rear window defroster, and an AM/FM radio. A two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 120-mph speedometer, a fuel-level gauge and a clock. In the last year, this Thunderbird has also had a new carburetor, 4 new BF Goodrich Radial T/A's & a new exhaust added, so this TBird is road trip ready! This is a very composed car to drive with almost as many creature comforts as a modern car and it makes you feel like you own the road compared with all the compact cars most people drive today. This is a time capsule that will fit nicely in any collection, or simply make a really cool weekend cruiser!
