The 48 spoke Kelsey-Hayes designed wire wheels are in beautiful condition and look terrific wrapped in wide whitewalls radials. The Rangoon Red fiberglass tonneau covers the back seat and lends to the space age and sleek look of the T-Bird. The Thunderbird’s livery is a stunning Rangoon Red which has beautiful luster and shine with very few imperfections. Blumenthal had the engine and transmission rebuilt in 2017 and has maintained the Thunderbird very well, which is evident by the beautiful overall condition. The T-Bird was acquired on the 13th of August 2002 by the current owner, Terry Blumenthal of Sunnyvale, CA. Gaston began a full restoration of the Thunderbird, including a bare metal repaint and a new interior. By the early 90s, it was acquired by Burbank Studios associate and car collector Bill Gaston of Burbank, CA. This Thunderbird was used as a prop in numerous television productions from 1963 through the early 1990s, in such notable productions as 77 Sunset Strip and The Rockford Files, among many others.

This Thunderbird is a joy to drive, and its older full restoration still looks beautiful today. The 390 ci V-8 provides significant power to cruise at highway speeds all day long. They came standard with power steering, power brakes, backup lights and bucket seats. The third-generation Thunderbirds were a personal luxury car from 1961 to 1963 with a new and sleeker styling designed by Bill Boyer.
