About this 1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee

VIN: 8G87H154059

This a one family owned vehicle. The car is all original, except vinyl top replaced in 2019. The car was garage-kept or under cover for the majority of its life. There is no body rust, however, the paint has flaked in certain locations. The interior is in excellent condition. The photo shown is from 2020. I will be adding updated photos shortly. Recent maintenance (2024-2025) includes lube and oil change, new battery, new fuel pump, spark plugs, cooling hoses, and the carburetor was re-built. New tires were installed in 2019 and minimal wear. Please feel free to ask any questions!
