Gaps are remarkably good, and those long doors, which were typical of the era, open and close easily. The optional two-tone color scheme masks the car's size, visually lengthening the body without adding bulk. Styling is angular, yet elegant, and the steeply raked greenhouse gives the 'Bird a sporty look.
1979 was the last year of the seventh generation Thunderbird, and what many refer to as the last of the “big birds.” In 1980, it was drastically downsized, making this one the last of the full-sized personal luxury cars from Ford. Everyone remembers these as the dark days of motoring, but the truth of the matter is that upscale cars like this T-Bird were awfully darned nice. Still sporting 100% original Light Medium Blue over Midnight Blue Metallic two-tone paint, you'll probably be as surprised as we were at how good paint looked in 1979. According to the original window sticker, in addition to the standard Thunderbird features, this one also includes: Forget restored perfection, survior status is red hot right now, and this T-Bird is as nice as they get and is loaded with options. And I don't care what your favorite car is, survivors like this are way cool because they're a snapshot in time, an opportunity to see how the cars we love were actually built. This car is completely untouched, unmodified, and 100% original in every way save for the battery.
On the one hand, you might be thinking that with over 100,000 T-Birds built in '79, this one can't be rare, but on the other hand, how many have just 4219 original miles? Here at RK Motors Charlotte, you know we're famous for finding unbelievable cars, and this 1979 Thunderbird certainly qualifies. 4,219 Actual Mile Thunderbird 351 4 Barrel V8
